MTVR finally delivered..

[hvydee]

Well, I finally got the item release for my 2007 AMK23A1 that I purchased on May 3, 2023. I went to Leesburg to watch it get loaded. Man, what a beast of a truck! My truck started right up and was able to drive right onto the trailer. The guys at GovPlanet were great, they aired up a low tire and were a big help. This truck looks almost unused. It show 40hrs and 155mi. The nice part is it wasnt disassembled nearly as much as other trucks, the seats were still in it, muffler and steps still attached etc.
I do have a complete cab for it, I’m in the process of painting it the sand color to match the rest of the truck. Of course, I don’t have any doors yet but I’m waiting for some to come to market soon from various vendors. One last thing, I saw a boatload of MTVR,s at Leesburg so there are more on the way. I’ve got a lot to learn about these trucks, looking forward to using this forum for any advise and help…thanks

Just curious why so many MTVRs are sold without doors? Do they have some kind of DARPA fairy dust magic in them and thus need to be stripped before being sold? Or are they made so poorly that they all break and fall off in service?

They had armored doors. Theyre not allowed to sell them w armor on them so all the armor is removed before being sold

Your guberment doesn't trust their citizenry to own armored vehicles.

And how does the mtvr door armor rate compared to the faceted ap2 fmtv cab that just sold on gov planet?

We don't talk about that . The government knows best. Pay to have all the stuff removed then pay to have it all destroyed in tax money then pay midwest for new doors.

When I picked up my MTVR they let me look around the yard at other trucks. Check out these photos with the Armor still installed on the truck! This plating is massive, looks like it could stop a .50cal…that explains all the holes in the cab of my truck…

Looks like at least half inch thick ar500 armor
