Bought me a 1 of a kind M813A1 that was modified as an armored troop carrier. Its armor package is NIJ level 7 which is equivalent to stopping 50cal and small explosives. I bought it last year out of Fort Lauderdale and had it shipped to Texas. So here I am on steel soldiers, figured I should join since I am always tinkering and learning.

Welcome to the site, Hobby, Friendships and events to come.
Nice looking and 'different from the rest' Truck.
Methinks it drives all the better?, with that extra weight.

It drives pretty darn good. Once I figured out the manual tranny and when to shift it drives good. Only downside is when I encounter hills it tends to be sluggish due to all the added weight. But for a naturally aspirated engine it can do 60mph with minimal sway
