Questionable:

"According to Trevor Davies Engineering, manufacturer of the Pookie, "...of the 76 vehicles built between 1976 and 1980 none ever detonated a mine, though 12 were lost and two drivers were killed."[1] Remotely detonated mines were responsible for the loss of the 12 vehicles and one of the fatalities, though it is not clear[to whom?] if the remaining fatality, caused by an RPG, also resulted in the loss of vehicle and if that loss was included in the previous count."

I just wanted the thing as a daily driver.

You might be able to mod the shoestring-engineered cab to be survivable in a command-detonated environment though, without compromising that ever-so-sweet virtually-nonexistent ground pressure unduly.

Oh- that, and some chain link panels on frames for the RPG.
