I just wonder what the 'tow shackle' looking things are on the door handles. _________________ "TUMBLEWEED"

I think they are a retrofit that allows another vehicle to pry open a door on a mangled vehicle _________________ Bob Smart ([email protected])

Hi Folks!

I think they are a retrofit that allows another vehicle to pry open a door on a mangled vehicle

One of the problems with the heavier doors is when a vehicle gets hit, a trooper can not get the door open from either side. The tow hooks are being added so an injury crewman can be removed through that door.

Sgt, Scouts Out!
