2.1 GENERAL

The PLS Crew Protection Armor Kit consists of two armored doors, roof armor, transparent

windshield armor, three blast deflectors, one upper and one lower brush guard, forward and rear

side armor panels, rear cab armor panels, an armored access cover (front), and an armored

escape hatch (roof).

The Door Armor Attachment Assembly consists of an armor panel and hinge that is mounted to

the existing door frame and is bolted in place of the existing door's hinge. The Armored Door

Assembly (which incorporates a sliding armored window) is bolted to the Door Armor

Attachment Assembly. The Roof Armor Panel is installed using the existing bolt hole pattern

(used for the Machine Gun Mount) on the roof on the passenger side and the mounting brackets

(front and rear) on the driver's side. The Roof Armor is a one-piece panel that requires material

handling equipment (hoist, forklift, etc.) for installation due to its weight. The windshield and

side windows are constructed of transparent armor. The remaining armor panels are fastened

to the vehicle using attachment brackets and Grade 8 attachment hardware.
