I am at work right now but tomorrow I will bring in and post a picture showing the difference and the survivability of one Up-armor and one that is not. They were parked side by side when this ASP went up. I am very impressed with them and would gladly go to war in one (vice what I had).


Be safe

Check these out, what one would you want to be in? The extra armor doesn't effect the trucks that much, these trucks are rated at over 2 tons! Cheaper then armor, faster to produce and not as maintenance intensive. Give me the armor and the mobility. Are we going to send everyone to school to teach them to drive tracks?

We have a few FReepers following the issue closely.

Be careful.

Look for the truth - look closely at the history of deeds, not words - the motives - of leadership at the Pentagon and in the White House - and of their press/pol accusers.

The daily recklessness, the daily lies peddled to the world by America's free, noisy accusers endangers our troops and war efforts, and belies their claims to "care" - exposes their true lack of concern for both the welfare of our precious troops, and the defense of our precious nation.
