I recently found out that BULLETPROOF IT, LLC was selling MRAPs. That alone is interesting, but what really caught my attention is that the MRAPs in question were built by Blackwater Manufacturing. From 2007-2009, I worked on that program as the head of Test & Evaluation. I shot, blew up and drove Grizzlies in all sorts of environments. There’s a bit of me in those trucks. This graphic shows the evolution of the trucks.

BULLETPROOF IT, LLC a Service Disabled Veteran owned and operated business has 10 Blackwater Grizzly Armored Personnel Carriers (APC) for sale. The Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) is a 22 ton Armored Infantry Mobility Vehicle designed and built for the U.S. Military and DOD contractors destined for Iraq and other high conflict hostile territories.

The Armored exterior is as aggressive as they come! The Ballistic walls can withstand .50-caliber rounds for perfect protection against high caliber ambushes, while the fully reinforced belly and enclosed drivetrain are protected against improvised explosive device (IED) blasts. In addition to the armor, it has more doors, gun ports, hooks, compartments, outlets, and lighting than most civilians’ vehicles on the road. The roof has duel turrets capable of accepting mounted machine guns.

The Armored Vehicles are street legal and can cruise on the highway at 65 to 70 MPH. Each equipped with the proven caterpillar diesel engine. The Armored Vehicles were built in 2007 and 2008. Essentially these vehicles are brand new and most of them with less than 800 miles on them, some as low as 77 miles on them. BULLETPROOF IT, LLC has 4×4 and 6×6 wheeled (APC’s) available.
