not to mention it increases their range and decreases the cost of upkeep (assuming the engine requires the same maitenance as a standard engine) because it wont need as much gas.

Actually: I imagine thats one of the prime considerations. I believe it costs in the region of 400$ per gallon to refuel in the field (got to chopper in the fuel ect). Thats a staggering cost that could be diverted elsewhere.

Pft general lee. Pft. your wanting Kit.

Besides reducing costs it'll help alleviate that 250 mile problem that just about every military has.

Canadas replaced all its shitty iltis LUVW's with the Mercedes g-Wagons, so far they're proving to be great minus the roll over issue some have found.

Top heavy, with Kit and a MK19 mounted on the top, tends to be a problem around sharp turns at high speeds.
