No more than it would to an unarmored HMMWV, HEMTT, etc. Yup, I hate to think what IEDs do to them too. I guess the military cant go all mine resistant but, it doesn't matter anyway. Now the followers of the kid touching prophet, aids be upon him, have taken to including incendiary chemicals in their IEDs. Someone I know in A-stan had to stand by and listen to his friend scream as he burned to death inside an MRAP a couple weeks back. 2 other dudes were severely burned trying to free the guys trapped inside. Thankfully, one of them was either already dead or knocked unconscious before he was set on fire. _________________________ I have gaming PCs that run everything from MS-DOS 6.22 to Windows 7 64-bit Win7 Home Prem 64 i5-750 MSI P55-GD80 XFX Radeon HD 6950 2 Gig 8 Gigs Corsair DDR3 1600 2 x 1 TB WD Black SATA II HD Plextor 24x DVD-RW ViewSonic VA2702w 1920x1080 Antec Gamer case and 650w PS Warthog 1663 w/ CH Pro Pedals TIR4 w/ Clip Logitech G110 KB

WOLF257 Professional Cynic Senior Member Registered: 12/29/00 Posts: 3842 Loc: Alabama	I had one of the 1/2 ton Dodge Admin trucks, thing had 375K miles on it when it finally gave up the ghost. Leaked oil like a seive but didn't smoke a bit. _________________________ WOLF "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest the nation become bankrupt.

Hankmc Hotshot Registered: 01/01/01 Posts: 8567 Loc: NJ USA	The next generation of Dodge Power Wagons left over from WWll. It has a PTO and a movable winch for front or rear use. Add a neckin' knob, rifle rack and a beer can holder and it's ready for civilian life.
