The RG-31 series is about the only variant that would be a decent dd.

I don't think you're paying attention to what's at mil surplus sales. You'll never see an MRAP at one.

Only GWOT-era military truck I'd be interested in:
And at that I'd just assume have a Tacoma or Frontier. |

Maybe just an hour, but it felt like an eternity at the time. The quarry workers were watching us from a distance, and I'm pretty sure they were laughing at us. I started fearing was that they'd get bored and decide their cousin's mortar would make the whole episode even funnier. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you got the cash, go for a Maraduer out of south Africa. Top gear did a show on it, drove through walls and they set off c4 under it. Blew a tire from the blast but everything else was fine... Started it up and drove off. They are north of 400k I believe and then there IA the whole problem if importing and licensing it here in the states. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile  |

I was joking about the dd part.
I could handle a HMMWV as a weekend toy, though. 2.5 and 5ts would be easy to get but I don't know what I'd use it for to justify owning one. |

According to my research, mini-14's and old trucks armored with sheet metal and steel barrels are the way to go. |

You worried about IEDs, there, OP?
It's easier and probably cheaper to buy an up armored SUV. |

Right in the middle of the bridge, surrounded by nearby mountains in most directions. We're trying to hook up the tow bar and I keep checking that stupid pull tab on my IOTV and wondering if the way I hooked my camelback through it is going to make it not work when I get blown into the water.
