This is obvously not the same vehicle, but it was here when I got here last year. Still trying to get measurements, but for obvious reasons, not always around to do so. It's taken a few hits since these were taken.

Patric(WarWheels)- without violating any OPSEC, can you tell us the purpose of the two nozzle like apertures in your 11th photo (the wheel well with Tyre & internal conduit/cabling/etc.?
Would this be some sort of fire suppressant/ cooling mechanism? If so, is it manually controlled or temp rise activated? And does the vehicle as a whole benefit from this system? Seems a good I dea as more & more Burn scarred veterans fill the streets of urban North Carolina.

Hi Bob.
sorry to say, I haven't a clue on their purpose.
Hopefully, someone more knowledgable will be able to help (if within regs).

I'm glad you do. I did not. For me it was somehow reminiscent of being in the bow of a Danish Coastal Defense Cutter back in '84, during rough weather in the North Sea. And a very harsh suspension as well. Still, it does what it needs to do...
I've done a walkaround, but hese photos are taking forever. Wonder if there'd be interest in a CD for this and other neat stuff?

Absolutely, I'd buy one, but you have to include measurements! Your retirement top up package, the "the mogul of sand coloured armour (etc.)"
Please LMK when your package arrives.
Hope you are well

Dose anyone else think that the navistar looks like one of those trucks they use for delivering money to the bank?

Sorry Boggie. You will not be able to buy one.
You sent stuff for the IA, which is an ongoing project for me before we leave. You'll just get one.

You are too kind. Remember to take photos with the lads wearing the kit and I'm sure there will be an open resource for the IA for some time to come.
Best to you

I was excited to see that in the Canadian north we have MRAP Maxx Pro modelling resource material, at least dimensions for the cab.
