Has anyone else seen these H2's being sent to the Ranch in CRAWFORD, TEXAS ?
I can tell you what I know.
(1) They are 2600 pounds more then a standard H2.
(2) The glass is two inches thick including the windshield.
(3) They have full plate steel that looks to be an inch thick underneath.
(4) There is a full divider between the front seat and the second row.
(5) The tires are solid "RUN FLATS".
(6) There is armor behind the front grill.
(7) There is armor in the wheel wells.
(8) They can exceed 90MPH with ease even with the additional weight.
(9) The tube steps are solid not hollow.
(10) There is no spare.

Its for a private contractor, numerous companies are using up armored ones in Iraq as well as state-side. That is probably going to a dignitary unit or something.

The new style mirrored '06's just came out. Not enough time to retrofit them for Secret Service duty.
