I received an invitation to this international defence hardware convention the week of 6/14 in Paris.
I'll try to take cell phone pics of interesting expo stuff.

Sounds like fun Charlie, take lots of pics. I'm thinking about a trip to Mexico so please look into what armour is available for a Unimog...

I found out one great piece of news:
A Zetros 6X6 2733 is only 90,000 euros new; not including taxes and options. They are "thinking about" a lower gearset for low range; they have a 3.95 gearset they use in a 14.5 ton special chassis which is a hybrid of U5000 and Zetros parts to make armored cars.
I figure you could get a fully optioned cab-chassis for ~120-125K euros. Now if you could get it past the EPA....
