While driving by MPC Lighting & Communication today, I spotted an old military vehicle being worked on outside. It’s an MRAP, built around 2007 or 2008 at a cost of $648,000. The vehicle saw service in both Iraq and Afghanistan before being decommissioned recently. From what I heard, the Department of Defense has too many of these MRAPs, and they’re expensive to store and maintain. As a result, the first 12 were given to local law enforcement SWAT teams, with NIPAS being the only Illinois agency to receive one so far. The vehicle is heavily armored, all weapons have been removed, but it still retains many useful features. One notable difference is that it uses a 12VDC system instead of the older 24VDC used in military vehicles. It also has a large front winch and a rear ramp or stairs. I was told that NIPAS plans to paint and letter the vehicle to match their fleet. Additionally, the federal government reportedly performed a full maintenance check and installed new tires before handing it over.Another update from Drew: Rutland-Dundee had a new engine on site for some installations.
