TEXAS Prepper buys BLACKWATER MRAP "The ULTIMATE Armored Vehicle" 

My dad was in one of these in Afghanistan when an IED went off below the vehicle. Thanks to the V-shape hull, doing what it was designed to do, he lived.

182 miles and #410. This MRAP is seriously upgraded from the ones we rolled around in back in my 07-08 deployment! Congrats on the new “work truck” 😂

What a BEAST Ron! With a 50 cal on the turret, this would be a Texas wild hog hunter's dream come true. You could hunt dinosaurs with that rig. Too cool, congrats on the purchase! 😎

You've got to run this to Walmart and grocery shopping.

Man you did a good deed right there, you needed advice, and I bet he loved showing you.

"Pls don't couse..." love it lol

Just another reason to love you, Ron. BADASS. Mess with you? I think not. BRAVO! 🇺🇸👏👏👏♥️🙏😊

you now have the title of "The Ultimate Civilian Prepper" . Congrats !

Thanks for the vid. Just some suggestions about the halon fire suppression system. That system should be deactivated and bottles removed if you allow people in the vehicle who are not trained on how to get out in an emergency. Remember, Halon is heavier than air and displaces oxygen. There are also manual activation handles that kids love to play with. There have been multiple deaths in the Army and probably other services attributed to these systems, and that's with trained crewmembers. Also, at 5:45 that cap is not for the nozzle, it is to protect the valve when the bottle is removed, and at 5:55 that is not an IR light for illumination, it is a multi sensor for the halon system. I was a 19D Cavalry Scout and spent years crewing the M3 CFV (Bradley) that had these systems. They can kill you if you panic and cannot get out in time before you pass out due to lack of oxygen. As a note, there was talk way back of doing away with halon and going to C02 but the lack of oxygen is still an issue with C02 as well.

There was 184 miles on it and yes it is an awesome piece of equipment!!! I was in Iraq in 2003. I’m so glad you got this one. I’m looking to get a Oshkosh HEMTT!!!

GSS is for Global Seating Systems. They were the manufacturer of the seats that the Blackwater Grizzly APC MRAPII prototypes used. The seats are heavy because they are built to be blast resistant. Blackwater's Grizzly lost out on it's bid to be selected for the defense dept. contract due to it's failure in testing on front end explosion protection at Aberdeen Test Grounds. Blackwater's manufacturing facilities in Camden North Carolina closed down shortly after building these prototypes.

That brought back some memories! Miles were 182 and my number between 1-1000 would be 7 like the number on the back.

182 miles and #10, have to design a driveout garage from a big boy bunker!

I bet this would be great to bring a date on or for family outings.

Awesome, man! Btw, you answered an older comment telling me that you'd do a vid showing us the double culvert bunker, is it still something you're planning to do? Tremendous job btw! 💪🏻👌🏻

This has to be the ultimate find of the year. Thanks for putting this up.

You know you bought BRAND NEW when it has only 182 miles on it...that's SPANKING NEW!!!!!

You need to get that decal’d up now with ATLAS survival shelter! Bomb Proof

GSS stands for Global Seating systems. They are made for all kinds of military systems

I was recovery in Iraq and used to go get these after they had hit IEDs ...BTW they held up,well .

27 RINOs gave it a thumbs down because they think it's too much freedom!

GGS is Global Seating Systems, they make all the specialist seats for various vehicles, military or contractor.

Most buttons inside military vehicles are labeled “don’t touch” LOL

Just want to tell you how much I love your videos! I like your general attitude towards most things..lol..I don't subscribe to many channels, which goes to show how much I respect yours! Keep doing what you do! Thanks!

I get the sneaking suspicion that you take door dings at the supermarket a little more seriously than most people... d=^o

Miles when bought would say 181 as you said did test drive and 373 as number. Thanks for sharing your HEAVY DUTY ride with us.

We need to use this for hurricane rescue! HMU if you’re interested in saving some people in crisis.

"Run a hair dryer" guys that is how you justify getting this to the wife

Bunkers+MRAP+Firearms=Ready for the Apocalypse! ✴️☢️☣️⚠️🔥🇺🇸 #762 - I love the AR wall mount!

991. wow. I want one. 182 miles on it. You said. Hasn't even been broken in yet. Hahaha asking a vet not to cuss is like asking a bird not to fly. Please thank him for his service. OOHRAA!!!! YUT YUT!!!!!

That is a get to the shelter during the zombie apocalypse vehicle. You can run down a bunch of zombies with that thing and keep on going. Let the man swear as much as he wants. He served his country and he's earned the right.

My dream is to afford a bomb shelter and an armored vehicle...

Beautiful purchase! Literally like new. One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen on the Atlas channel ❤

Please do a video going through a drive through and ordering food lol 😆 hahahaha wear a 3a helmet and BDU and dress the part and go for it .

That's one thing the troops hated with these mwraps waiting for the damb doors to open! In Iraq documentaries the say " we were all sitting gearing up, adrenaline rushing and reading to bounce but then the damb door's! Them damb door's waiting for them to open in a war situation is like a lifetime!" And there not slow door's either but I suppose in that situation they could be faster for them to roll out off! Did you get the m82 sniper rifle with it?

I'd be like, give me the camera and you can help clean your own vehicle up!

Blackwater called them Bear Cats

Man I love that thing and that's 180 miles btw.

Imagine all the survival supplies you could fit in that. Wow 😳

183 miles. Love it!!

Living In Dallas Been watching you for a solid month now great work brother!

I wish I could afford one of your shelters! They are the best that is made! I'm glad your providing these to people! Great company you have! God Bless your business!

take that through riot areas would be awesome

The MRAP is Awsome. Maybe a small suggestion. Keep a seat or two then make it a mobile CAC for any future event... A command and control vehicle will get you an excellent advantage in testing atmosphere and scouting after any given event. It would be even better if you could get one more vehicle.

One hell of a ride, I'm jealous I want to ride in it.

ngl if u wanted too, u could convert it into a expedition camper thing, got a lot of storage

Tellin a grunt not too cuss is like telling a businessman not to make money sir. HOORAA!!!!

Awesome, Looks very similar to the RG31

Drop it off at Ultra Limos, have them make it a stretch, install a bar and stereo systems.

Hey man. It's Ted from Texas. This week's number 372. I like the video man. Thanks for the tour of a cool vehicle. Good luck with it I hope it doesn't break down and give you any grief.

182 miles on the truck. My number is 203. Love ya Ron!

The foreman dude really needs to change his diet...he is on the road to something very bad happening to his health from all the greasy cheeseburgers, pizza and burritos he's been eating.

GSS = Global Security Solutions It was the name of an old private military contractor. They've changed their name since.

Just Freaking awesome!!!! And there were 182 miles on it 😉

This is a great great piece of equipment that would go inside it same colour as well. Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979, Jerry Goldsmith) . 1:24

You need to paint it CarC camo pattern green... nice grocery getter for sure

Miles were 182, my number from 1-1000 is 769. Totally awesome rig, enjoy it!

Guaranteed to get the eggs from the chicken coop to the house in one pease. That a pretty good second market for you a car you don't have to worry about getting shot in by lawinforsmint. Unfortunately it's not jail resistant.😞

That guys Dodge was nice

Crewmember #99 & 99 miles. So cool tow a bunker decked out with ads on the outside for events

182 miles. Awesome vehicle

I am so jealous that is the coolest bug out vehicle in the world! 🤯

50 is my number and it only had 182 miles on it enjoy you new toy

I want one as a daily driver. Absolutely beautiful

you need to add some antennas and comms

You can buy junk cars on CL for peanuts and practice ramming them out of the way. Enjoyed the show. Later from Cypress,Tx.

The real innovate part of the M-RAT is the V hull. They specifically designed and engineered that thing to save our boys lives while traveling. It take one hell of a IED to even remotely hurt the passengers.

21k miles and that's a cool ass ride

The number is 455. And I think it had around 161 miles when u bought it. Btw it’s really cool.

182 miles... My number... 182. Why because MRAPs are awesome!

You guys should make a bunker with a built in greenhouse

160 miles mr. survival!! Cheers from canada 🇨🇦💪🏻

now that army is going to JCAVs, what will they do with all their surplus MRAPs

Congrats Ron!

More ammo. More ammo 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you made me laugh 187

182 original miles and I love the vehicle. Can you make a video on how much did this cost and how you got the vehicle? Thank you!

Subbed. Imagine pulling into an RV park with that,,,, it would make an awesome RV.

Ron, The Armer all over is AR500 it will stop a 50 cal. Round.

Phew, I can't imagine the gas that thing guzzles, it's gotta move all that armor! I bet it gets around 12 mpg.

182 miles. #82. Great Video. Me want one.❤💪

962 350 miles on the clock of that beast!!!

Having that apc painted in urban camouflage , would look really hot. Or pixel camouflage. Great Video Take Care Be Safe Stay Safe

26:24 isnt a blackout light. That's fir the halon system. D'oh!

MRAP armor didn't stop .50BMG API though. Other video that guy posted. It only takes 3/4" AR500 or even 3/4" thick AR400 steel to stop to "easily" stop that round with piece of cake.

I’m soooooooooo jealous!

182 miles and my number #814 Love that thing!

congrats on the MRAP Very nice

I've seen these for sale for a while, they wanted a 150k from them, not bad price for what your getting. I think there was 3 of them they had for sale.

Need to get that thing painted Woodland

Is a bunker made of AR650 steal round possible.

That front stowage bin looked like it had an input for outside coms to driver inside that's cool! Just hope that's the fuel tank and not the cold water tank lol!

Man that vehicle is big foot proof

Talk about a grocery go getter! Love it! #696 you had 182 miles on it.

13. I miss riding around in Bradley's and Humvee's! :^/

you should run the plating down around the tyre 's there so vulnerable to gun fire.

Very nice!! 669..... 182 miles

That old man gives zero fks about cursing in your video! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It’s so cool how you let people check it out. Most guys are so anti social.

Pretty sweet!

God bless America
