Its a free country, and you HMMWV guys will likely never catch up to the guy who had an M43 ambulance and jet engine in it back in the 1980's..... another bizarre conversion.

Good luck, stay safe, and stay the heck outta Paris with that contracption, the PD might take offense if you outrun their hemi Dodges.....

Actually, what I'm doing is more in line with the HMMWV design than loading up a 12,000 gvw truck to 15,000 with armor (like they're doing now). The stresses are much less with a 5800lb vehicle and quite a bit of hp. (think rat patrol) All the halfshafts/geared hubs are 12,100 up armored stuff, should be reliable. Not to mention 22mpg.
