MLVW owners heads up

[Frank v R]

we no longer want soft skin vehicles that end up on our DA, there is no point to it, we are buying the vehicles on the open market , so we will never have a true MLVW, LSVW, or G-wagon, not the CF version anyway , there are other options for the G-wagon , German Border Police use the same chassis with out the computer crap,

Just noticed that last comment and did a search and didn't find anything, so I'll pose the question are the LSVW's and G-Wagen's not to be released or are they to be released with restrictions? Neither one is on my acquisition list but curious as to why; since the Iltis was released without restriction there shouldn't be any restriction on other domestically produced or non-US sourced soft-skin equipment.

You want to take this one as to why the LSVW won't be released. I recall a posting where your loathing of the Iltis was triumphed by the LSVW.

[Frank v R]

when the Iltis were coming up for disposal there was a program to remarket them to the public with civy paint job and mag wheels, many were sold as for off road use only, there was also a law suit around that time involving CF vehicles , very big word liability , the same thing happened with the M-151 series vehicles in the US and I believe that case has taken us to where we are now, now we come to the LSVW , no crash test by transport Canada, MLVW with single chamber master cylinder, duals are on the market and many late US M-35 series trucks have these fitted but still the MLVW is a no sale due to transport Canada, now the G-Wagon , no crash testing and they love to roll over , B vehicles are going to scrap very quickly across the country with no real replacement in site,
