5/8" hardend steel. Proof from AP 30-06 full auto at 100 meters. She comes in at 8,000 lbs (just under) She has Big Axles not the same ones I see on regular Series Land Rovers. I believe they are called Salsbury Axles? They look alot like Dana 60s.Comment

I will replace the frame since it is completely rotted (i dont drive her now) Also the Master Slave cylinder needs to be replaced. BUT I think I am just going to repower her with a Mercedes Diesel engine and possibly install a NP435 behind it. I would like to install Disc brakes but not sure if I can. The inline 6 in her now is in excellent shape and runs like a top. In fact its the absolute SMOOTHEST 6 cylinder I have ever seen or driven EVER! BUT an armored vehicle needs a diesel engine and a bit more power!Last edited by SHORLAND; 12-23-2007, 10:53 PM.Comment
