Hello
Can somebody tell me if M1120 LHS have been used in Iraq as Gun Truck ? Can I add converted container like this one on M1074 PLS or just add some "metal box" on the back ?
Thank You for help
Chris from Poland

Are those Humvee windshields in the box?

Yes and yes to the original questions.

Yes also on the HMMWV window glass question. They are armored window glass pieces, probably for an M1114 or M1151.

I belive the pictured HEMTT is not a gun truck. It's just carrying an armored check-point booth to a new location...

You are correct. I looked too quickly. It is also a standard M977 HEMTT with CPK and the bed sides removed. It is not an M1120 LHS.

Well I just want to know when it will be released. Also the stuff Merit showed a while back.

The M1120 LHS is available now. Check eBay and the Asian suppliers, it just hit the market a couple days ago.
