Saw this posted in a local FB group. Thought it was interesting.

Wow how do you come across one of these? Don’t they weigh like 5 tons? Never heard of the 6.4 litre either. Pretty darn cool.

B7 is pretty impressive.

Surprised some “celebrity” didn’t grab it. Can you imagine trying to fix something like a window regulator with 2-3” think glass?

That same vehicle was for sale 2 years ago when i was looking for our denali, I think the price has gone up. Kind of a useless ride here in the states, Kabul/Baghdad to get groceries? Also an experienced sniper will see the round deflect and aim for the a,b,c pillar's?Surprising the windows still function?

They put kevlar in the pillars and sometimes steel plate.

I have zero use for this. But I want it!

I have to question this from a durability/safety standpoint.

The Yukon only has about 1600 lbs of payload. So did they:
1) Just throw in the armoring, and let it roll around completely overloaded - GVWR, AWR, etc?
2) Did they upgrade any of the powertrain/suspension - springs, axles, etc?

Since it's sitting on the stock wheels, I'm going with option 1, which is a big problem, IMHO.
There's a reason why the 2500 and 3500 trucks are usually picker for armoring. Hell, the 3500HD Suburban had a payload rating of over 4,000 lbs.

Interesting article about what B7 means. This thing is no toy but I’m with you on the weight thing. They had to beef the suspension or it’d be sitting might low.
