Does anyone have experience adding armor to the 998-based slantback, besides doors, underbody, windshields and rocker armor?
Specifically I’m curious about installing the c-divide in these trucks, or any sponson- or roof armor. I assume the hatch armor will fit the old style slant-back hatches (?).
Certainly the chassis is beefy enough to handle the weight, it got the full 12k treatment in 2004 or so.

If its the steel roof...never seen armor added to that, other than a suppl. roof which would be on a M104x type truck.
Late m1151 turrets can be installed on the regular turret supports in the M10xx series trucks.
I have both mechanical, and electric 1151 turrets that will fit.
