That's what I'm talking about! Make it a 6x6 on a deuce chassis (or 5ton) and keep the armor light. After all, we would be dealing with rocks, trees, walls and at most small arms if you plan on such activities. I look at it this way... If a guy with landmines and 50BMG API wants me stopped, my...

I'm actually torn. The sketches I have been playing with still have the issue of the flex joint between bed and cab. The soft top can't even take that much flex... Cutting an opening the way that movie MRAP job did looks nice as a permanent mod... but If I'm careful I think I can make it...

I'm flirting with some drawings for a metal topper for the bed that can connect to the cab and look "right." Integrate a ladder and a spare tire carrier that can hold a 395 and rim in a position that can actually be accessed.

Good ideas! And just like those van chassis buses, put a separate side door in the newly constructed cab area... no need to screw with extra cab/doors like extended cab trucks do. One on the side and a back loading door like an aircraft with steps inside that could flip down... That door would...

So, isolate it. I was thinking something like a flex joint at the back of the stock cab with some gap seals. Heck, seeing as how this is just bench racing, take that "MRAP" the movie guy built as the base... his walls sucked, his tire mount was non-functional, but it had a good joint, and the...

Exactly what I was talking about... Well, maybe not that gawdaweful nose on that thing. :mrgreen:

Yea...no worries... no bubble. I said I found this and thought it came from someone here, but couldn't find it when I searched. Anyway, the roof and walls might be a bit better with a couple modifications. I have to think someone has built one... THAT is what I want to see!

It really wouldn't be that hard... That pic, for example... all flat panels... some 1x2 steel tube as structure... 14ga sheet bolted or welded to the skeleton... flat glass. The roof is only complicated if you make it some kind of convertible. I think it's doable... just fat chewing here... I...

I did some searches and didn't find much... some camper stuff... so I think this might be new. I keep looking at bobbed trucks... most are nice, but not really my thing. I found this picture a very long time ago. I am certain it must have originated here, but I can't find the thread it called...
