Hey Dave,

You may be surprised but the Defenders are ROW spec just like mine. The boys at Dillion modified it and put a wrap over it (it's white underneath) 300TDi and R380. They did it to showcase their 50 cal. Gatling Gun that shoot 3,000 rounds a minute. They used a Defender for two reasons, the first they said was if you are in a combat zone driving a Hummer you know you are shooting at an America. The second is that there are store housed ROW Defenders around the world. They have one client that has 200 in a warehouse waiting for ?????

These guys have their own range in Arizona and are good to off-road with as they have helicopter support if you break anything which happened with the Hummer.

Here is a picture of yours truly at the wheel two years ago in Moab, they didn't bring the gun though :(

One of the fellows is a Calgary boy so they have some Canadian content :D

Have a look at their site http://www.dillonaero.com/ if you are interested in more destruction possibilities.
