A vehicle includes a frame, a front cabin, an armor component, and a retainer. The front cabin is coupled to the frame and selectively repositionable between an in-use position and a maintenance position. The retainer is coupled to the armor component and defines a slot extending laterally across a portion of the retainer. The vehicle is reconfigurable between an A-kit configuration and a B-kit configuration. In the A-kit configuration, the armor component is removed from the vehicle. In the B-kit configuration, the armor component is coupled to the front cabin. The retainer is offset the armor component by a retainer spacer.

Vehicle armor systems and methods

A vehicle includes a frame, a series of tractive assemblies coupled to the frame, a cabin, and a mount. The mount includes a boss coupled to the cabin, a first bracket pivotably coupled to the boss, a second bracket coupled to the frame, and a first isolator and a second isolator extending between the first bracket and the second bracket and coupling the first bracket to the second bracket.

Cabin assembly

A vehicle includes a frame extending longitudinally, a front cabin coupled to the frame and configured to accept at least one occupant, and a support coupled to the frame. The vehicle is reconfigurable between an A-kit configuration and a B-kit configuration. In the A-kit configuration, a spacer extends between the frame and the support and couples the support to the frame, and an armor component is removed from between the frame and the support. In the B-kit configuration, the armor component extends between the frame and the support and couples the support to the frame, and the spacer is removed from between the frame and the support.

A vehicle includes a frame, tractive assemblies engaging the frame, a cabin configured to contain at least one operator during operation of the vehicle, and a mount configured to pivotably couple the cabin to the frame. The mount includes a boss coupled to the cabin and defining a first aperture, a first bracket defining a second aperture, a pin extending through the first and second apertures, a second bracket coupled to the frame, and a pair of isolators extending between the first bracket and the second bracket. The isolators are configured to couple the first bracket to the second bracket and to reduce the transfer of vibrations between the frame and the cabin. The cabin is configured to rotate between use position and maintenance positions. The cabin is positioned near the frame in the use position and rotated away from the frame in the maintenance position.

A vehicle includes a frame, front cabin, and an armor component. The vehicle is reconfigurable between a B-kit configuration where the armor component is coupled to the vehicle, and an A-kit configuration where the armor component is removed. The armor component is configured to be coupled to at least one of a plurality of bosses disposed on a front wall or a side wall of the vehicle. A vehicle may also include at least two frame rails, a support, and a spacer that is coupled to at least one of the frame rails and the support. The armor component may replace the spacer in the B-kit configuration. The armor component may be an underbody armor panel. The vehicle may further include a retainer to simplify the conversion between the A-kit and a B-kit configurations and a step.

A vehicle includes a chassis and a seating system. The seating system includes a frame coupled to the chassis, a seat cushion supported by at least one of the frame and a floor of the vehicle, a first recoverable insert configured to provide a first energy attenuation response, and a second recoverable insert configured to provide a second energy attenuation response different than the first energy attenuation response. The seat cushion defines a cavity shaped to interchangeably receive either the first recoverable insert or the second recoverable insert to thereby selectively vary an energy attenuation provided by the seating system.
