    Should I build another MRAP? Need your advice/criticism, please.

    Oh oh... I just know I am going to get blamed for this one ;-) :cry:

    Shoot - you guys looking over my fence?:shock: We already do that - tough breaking the skim on the surface for each truck, but it adds charachter!!

    I appreciate that AceHigh, thank you! I too have actually really enjoyed talking with a group of guys that have the same interest. My lurker status is forever banished!! I put an album up with 50 or 60 recent builds in it if anyone cares to check them out. At least I think an album was the...

    Hi Ryan; No apology necessary for speaking your mind – I’m just glad to have the chance to try and defend myself since you are doing it on a public forum. This is America, and we are all entitled to an opinion. But just so I understand you correctly, you didn’t ask me about a CDL on a...

    I understand your point and honestly can't say that I disagree with it. I appreciate you taking the time to share your opinion. That is also some of the feedback I was looking for.

    OK, now I have to suggest that you get your facts straight RDUKW. Not only have I never told anyone that they would not need a CDL for a tractor trailer (let me just restate that so there is not any confusion - I have NEVER told anyone that a CDL would not be required on a Tractor Trailer, nor...

    Thanks chicklin - I shouldn't take it to heart, you're right. :beer: And I hear you on those stupid wrinkles... Would you believe that I had a dream about wrinkles in my house last night? But I asked for it:-P

    Wow - not sure where to begin... Get ready for a novel ;-). Let me start by saying thank you to everyone for the support, kind words and especially for the excellent feedback on this truck as well as ideas for a future truck. They are sincerely appreciated, many thanks!! I knew that this...

    It was actually for a TV Show pilot, not a movie. Doesn't come out until Spring of 2012, and they make you sign a bunch of confidentiality agreements, sorry.

    Actually, that's a pretty good idea! Worth giving some though to. Maybe even desert camo...

    Man, you guys are GOOD! You're seeing just one of our shops, and it is only about a mile and a half from our warehouses for MREdepot and MREwholesalers. Probably 40 or so trucks at that location in various stages of assembly at any given time. Then about 8 miles north in San Juan Capistrano...

    We actually do a few things for Uncle Sam. Our main business on the truck side is the development of several navigation components and a datalogger integrated with GPS for their autonomous vehicle navigation program. We also have a division that builds Multi Channel Power Amplifiers for Man...

    OK - I guess I am REAL glad that I didn't get crazy and offer armor!! Did some in my personal 109 just so I had a little SHTF protection, but just plate steel on a subframe inside the shop body, under the seats and on the inside of the door. Kevlar is way over my head and beyond our expertise...

    We actually use standard tempered automotive glass for safety. Same glass that we use in the front windshield of all the Deuces and 5-tons that we do. I thought about offering an option to armor the entire truck, but pretty sure that most people don't have that kind of coin sitting around in...
