They're both Army trucks. The second actually says "US ARMY" near the bottom of the front bumper.
By the way, the "illegible" writing on the hood says, "OSHKOSH", the manufacturer of the truck. It's been "modified", however, to read "Oh sh!t"

Great pics... although you can barely see the upgrades... I found it funny to read up armor and see the pic of the two OTVs on the front bumper.... I had to laugh..

thanks,

they arent really "uparmored" as far as officially... the first is just a guntruck and the second has only had hillbilly armor added to the doors

[SHAM]

I cant imagine the diamond plate on the first one stopping much, just adding more shrapnel.
Whats the stats on the steel plate in the others? able to stop small arms? or just there to make them feel better?

nice truk and US Army gunman thinks man.

Rumor has it that these are supposed to replace the Canadian MLVW. Saw one (in that paint colour and driven by you know who) on base the other day.
