The PTE IFV is a weak substitute, no doubt. For me, it's something unique (non-Joe or Cobra) for the Oktober Guard to drive around in. I mean, I can't just drop 'em in an AWE Striker and call it good. The FAV is a Chinese vehicle, too.

Thanks for the HT link; I'm still amazed at how people can cut off that back door so cleanly. Even with a dremel, I'm afraid of hacking it up.

There was a fellow at JoeCustoms that made a Soviet BTR out of a Joe APC that looks incredible. Helluva lot of work, too.
