What kind of gas mileage do you think that thing gets?

What kind of gas mileage do you think that thing gets?

According to 'Steel Soldier' 4-6 mpg.
PDH (pretty darn heavy) to start with, so the added weight from the armor makes less of a difference that you would think

Tempting, but the wife says no

Driver: "get a shovel"
Co-driver: "I'm not the one that got us stuck, why don't you get a shovel yourself?"

It's perfectly set up for a fifth wheel, I vote Mog should get it and hook up that toy hauler he's always wanted - one that'll fit the Power Wagon/GZL.

Sigh, "If we only had low range?!?"

Yep. I did a transmission in one a few weeks ago for a rural FD. Something came apart in the drop box portion and it was full of metal and damaged the rear output speed sensor.

That is one nice 'service truck'. 😍

Played around with level 8 armored fiberglass panel the other day on a jobsite. It was 1.5 inches thick and solid. Like solid resin with many, many thin layers. Crazy heavy stuff took a machine to lift a panel. Guys said it was over 2 grand a pop and there were stacks of it. It's fire rated too.

I noticed you used the past tense, so I am looking forward to your next bullet-proof habitat build.

It's a .gov type project, so the statue of limitations for a shipping container full of material going missing is 10 years. Not sure if a build thread will happen anytime soon...

Military trucks that have very little use, sat in the Texas heat for 25 years unused. All hydraulic lines and wiring looms need replacement due to heat/age damage.

More important, like earlier Unimogs air brakes often have problems.

In addition theses trucks came with a number of technical features that break often and could be deemed not a requirement for expedition vehicles.
