2K5SS/SC?'s New Rig

Well, I've had her for about a month and a half now. "Betty" is an 08' 6x6 COUGAR made by Force Protection weighing in at a bomb proof 44,000 pounds dry, and is cranking around at 24psi of boost with the torquey as hell Caterpillar motor. She has a little over 1K miles on her and terrorizes the Afghani terrain daily! Enjoy.

Current mods are:
-Ibistek HID light bar kit with dual search lights
-Custom 5 speaker stereo with Ipod connectivity
-Ghetto fabulous tourett canopy! Enjoy!

The metal also screws with what the two big antennas do as well. Thus, the reason why we didn't go the route everyone else does.

you guys did get the best truck in the MRAP series imo. i've seen those blown up and roll 7+ times only to shed the exterior components, and no injuries besides the driver hitting the steering wheel.

Yep, that is how most of the Army guys we are attached to make their canopys. The canopy is definitely not my design or construction though as my team members made it. I did score some fiberglass poles though when they are ready to do it the right way!

nice, i have a caiman2 and a max pro that i roll, i usually leave the maxpro. the caiman is a way better ride, with me being 75" tall, it lacks leg room for me though. i usually just hook my ipod up to the intercom, had thought about a stereo, but never got around to it.

Well if I brake boost off the line I think I could roll a 1/4 in about 20+ some odd seconds!

Nope surely not, I'm not sure if my Tactical Trunk Monkey could handle more than the 7.62 rounds. I do have enough "Bang" in it though to blow the **** out of anything we come across!

Neither my truck nor the M240 attached to have killed any innocent people, I'd prefer not to get blown up and just disarm the improvised explosive devices and unexploded ordnance that hurt/maime/kill the Afghani's, and just so you know we are helping the people out over here! That's right have you ever done the selfless act of going downrange on a live IED or UXO and properly rendered it safe so the locals and coalition forces don't get injured by it? Have you ever gone to one of the villages here and removed all the UXO to include landmines that the Russians left here in the 80's? Not to mention seeing more than one or two children that are missing a leg or arm due to one of them exploding as they wander out from their mud houses to see what we are doing? Have you ever had to clear a path into a minefield to extract a local national that wandered into it by accident in order to save his life? That's right I don't get paid very well, this is my 6th deployment in under 8 years of being in the service so I am away from home often, and yet I still have the desire to help protect people I don't even know. How about you grow the hell up and do something worthwhile and support the ones trying to make this war battered world a better place rather than bashing them.
