Because the Marauder costs a civilian $600k. That means it would cost the government around $1m each in a contract. Our MRAPs cost half as much.
My turn, Alex!
All crew survived, and the MRAP drove back to base with three wheels:

should have seen the MRAP Rev2 prototype hulls BAE had here for coating, they lost the job to Oshkosh but the entire cabin was milled out of a single hunk of aluminum. the front an the rear were separate and replaceable. If it got hit the motor and trans were part of the cabin so it would break away from the damaged portion and return and they would just slap on a new front or rear. Also with it being modular it wasn't a purpose built vehicle, you could have a comms rig or an ambo or an APC rear and use the same front and cabin. Smart thinking....

XJ and all parts are still out in Joppa with Mike. Due to scheduling trouble, he didn't get stuff pulled before I got there last week, and we didn't have time to work on it.

Research it. I did. I was going to buy a 1990 for it's rust free-ness and swap in MY drivetrain. After researching it, I decided it was NOT worth it.
By the time you have done all that work, you could have gone to an entirely different drivetrain....like a 350 with simple TBI....
