If you purchased a truck that was build with armor like mine was, or even if you have a truck that armor was added to after, keep in mind that they don't always remove all the armor- my truck still had several armor plates left in it, to include the armor plates that almost entirely block access...

The passenger side was harder, because both of the larger bolts behind the inside door handle were mis-threaded. To get better access, especially to the bottom one, I had to remove the passenger seat box again...and I hate each and every one of those 19 bolts. If you had a long transmission...

The driver's side was pretty easy to remove- there are two linkage cover pieces, each retained with two small bolts. The inside door handle then comes out, after popping off the latch rod at the top and removing the four mounting bolts (two small ones in the door jamb, and two larger ones in...

Had a break in the weather, and got them installed today. No more chaining up the doors!

...aaaand we have thunder and lightning this morning, with big fat rain drops...

I may cross-post this to other applicable thread(s), but I thought it was worthy of it's own thread in and of itself. Some time back, I contacted Oshkosh Defense, and was eventually able to obtain the correct part numbers for key-locking outside door handles for the MTVR, #3506900 for the left...

...and I just got a$375 invoice for my key-locking outside door handles, so I'm assuming they're shipping...

$1,325.25 California state sales tax refund received... :)

Mine does have the transmission control with two readouts instead of one. I know there are CAB suspension changes for the AMK23, but are there SUSPENSION changes? The GVWR and payload numbers for my AMK23 are the same as for a regular unarmored MK23.

Let's hope nobody cooked the engine with no coolant pumping...

...aaand the check showed up today. I knows that things don't go this smoothly for everyone, but we're pretty thankful...

He's probably gonna need a belt on there if he's gonna try driving it... ;)

That wasn't bad- I sent them my Bill Of Lading, and they just notified me that they're mailing me a check for $1,325.25... :)

Brake fluid?

This one? "My wife and I have done several major marriage team-building type life projects in recent years. I will warn you in advance, do not show these stories to your wives. For the first project, I let my wife custom-order a new BMW Track Pack car exactly how she wanted it, and then flew...

Ah, no- I'm only a step or two ahead of you in the process. Numerous other (and smarter) members here have been helping to point me in the right direction. They are all very similar. I believe the '06 and newer trucks all come with air-conditioning. There are A/C kits to install A/C on the...

We got a little good news- GovPlanet has processed our California state sales tax refund, and is mailing us a check for $1,325.25... :)

That's not why we cut it off. The door on our box is going to be on the front. Our box is going to overhang the front of the bed just enough to deter rain water from running down the front and getting between the bed and the box. The platform between the cab and box is going to be our front...

Oops- double-tap.
