What she will look like:

When I get off my lazy butt and finish it, this is what my tank will look like.

Ha, I'm not the only one on here in the middle of the night.

Hopefully it will look that good. I had to come up with a way to mount the armor and not moddify the original vehicle. Cost to much to be messing up the Mule. So I am using hose clamps to mount the armor to the roll cage. It actually worked better then something I would have normally thought up. I jsut have to get motivated to finish it up. I will be able to take the armor on and off with a friends assistance and use the vehicle as it was intended.


Here is a pic of the base vehicle. Kawasaki Mule 3010 Trans 4x4. You think Kawasaki could have gave it a longer name???

A lift off body is the way to go. Loki was a lawn tractor base and took about 2 hrs to mount or unmount the shell from the tractor. When games were close together and I was lazy I just left it on. I'm going to make the MPP game up there in Sept so we'll meet you in battle! Yah more targets!

I thought of going for a lift off body but this is how I finally decided to go. It shouldnt take any longer then 30 to 45 minutes to bolt the armor on and toss the back section with the turret on, I hope... That is with a friends assistance of course. My thing is honestly, I am not the most mechanicly inclinded person. And deffinetly not the best carpenter.

It will be a three person crew. One passenger gunner and one turret gunner. I am folding the back seat forward and mounting the turret a bit more forward to keep the balance and weight centered. I did originally wanted to have it where I could deploy three infantry personnel, but that isnt how it's working out. I'll just follow one of our APC's arround.
