Very nice auction find. Used CFR#66103 as a taxi that a civilian GDLS contractor had been signed out. He preferred his Toyota Hilux with the A/C and this green machine turned into recovery/RG-31 section asset until I flew home.
The armed version was an idea that manifested itself after looking through some spare parts and discussing upping the street cred of Gator to it's older brother the armored model A tractor. Slow St. Patrick's day weekend in PBW as well if I recall. It was a few months after this particular photo occurred that we lost 3 PPCLI members Cpl. Stephen Frederick Bouzane, Pte. Joel Vincent Wiebe and Sgt. Christos Karigiannis on a similarly configured, if not the same Gator.
