here are a coupla of the trucks that we've uparmored for the war over here that have been hit by roadside bombs.





This is an LMTV that we are almost finished armoring. I think it looks pretty ****** mean when we finish them.











This is one of them after a VERY large explosion took it apart.















ALL 3 soldiers inside of it walked away from it after the explosion with only minor injuries.



Here is a uparmored 5ton that got hit also.







The truck was destroyed in a post explosion fire, but the 2 soldiers inside were ok and got out before it burned. Some of this armor work we are doing is simply amazing. Makes me feel kinda good about the work that i'm doing over here.
