Hello Armorama!

Has anyone looked into whether or not the recent released legend SPARK mine roller for HMMWV's is appropriate for an OEF M-ATV? I had planned to do a route clearance vehicle, but can't confirm the rollers...

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Alex

I've seen M-ATVs fitted with SPARK II and "Panama City" mine rollers, but I've yet to see one fitted with the SPARK configuration chosen by Legend.

On a side note, The M-ATV has a specific mounting bracket for the SPARK :

Thanks for the info Frenchy!
So I take it no one makes the correct roller for the M-ATV?

Not yet, but I'd imagine it's only a matter of time untill Legend or Blast makes one.

I should clarify, the roller itself is correct, either the SPARK or OEF Spark have been used on the M-ATV. Currently only the SPARK exists in aftermarket form I believe. What is not available however is the mounting bracket to attach it to the truck. Not a terribly difficult thing to scratch build. I wouldn't let that alone shelve your project.
