Chainlink rolls on the sides and front. In back if we're willing to sacrifice the utility of the back ramp.

heh-heh, you could do the same thing to a Hummer, and everyone could just climb out of the top. :)

The IED that took out the M1 Abrams was three 100-pound warheads from a vehicle-mounted ground to air guided missile. Build a better mousetrap, breed smarter mice

So? A 105 or 155mm based IED is still going to eat up a 113, and those are what I was talking about.

Yep. Of course the driver and front seat passenger would have to take turns, after crawling over the backs of their seats. Anf though the Humvee would be more RPG resistant, it still won't stop a 7,62mm AK round, and a molotov cocktail will light it right up.

Yep. But the shrapnel won't do the damage to a M113 Bucket that it will to a Humvee or Stryker.
