Services
An up-armored vehicle should be serviced at 5000 mile intervals. Due to additional weight suspension, brakes and tires will need replacement more often than a regular vehicle
Mechanical Upgrades
The supplier certifies that the armor retro fitted commercial vehicle has been structurally modified to compensate for the additional weight to ensure that the car is drivable and roadworthy. Specific attention is given to the suspension, brakes and hinges. Due to increased load on the vehicle, parts will wear sooner which can be prevented by regular and appropriate maintenance.
Armor Repair
Armor repair can be executed in Iraq at an existing workshop specializing in armor repairs. Steel armor can be readily replaced at their premises and the required bodywork and painting can be done in Iraq . Armor suppliers do not keep stock of transparent armor, but replacement glass can be made to order on relatively short notice. |
