I hadn't seen this one before:

Also the first I've seen with a garden tub...

That's a lot of bolts. I guess I don't need that welding class after all ;)

I wouldn't have thought of using the gun turret as a pass-through. I wonder if you can pop the top from inside the cab? I'm guessing not. Seems to me that if you can only use the pass-through when the top is up it limits it's usefulness to almost zero.

Very interesting. Gives me even more ideas.
I never did find the door of that thing.

On one of the pix it looks like they use the gunner's door in the top of the cab for a pass-through, but surely that's not the only door!

What I like about their pop top is that it appears to be a 2 layer affair. I can't tell if they have insulation between the layers but if they did it would work great in colder climates. When I took my winter warfare course we used double wall tents and they were quite tolerable just using body heat (well quite tolerable for a soldier anyway).

I'm too clumsy to wonder around all that angled aluminum and exposed fasteners. I'd have to wear hockey gear to bed.
