Hello. Have a question. Does anyone know if the armor version of the D9r bulldozer cab, can be removed entirely as a whole; or just the walls surrounding the cab? I am of course, referring to the real bulldozer. Any photos would be appreciated. Been looking like crazy for photos, but haven't found one yet.

I guess it can't be partially disassembled. Not only armor applied on unarmored cab but a new cab.

Thanks Alex. To be precis, I just wanted to know if the entire cab could be removed with all the interior at the ssme time. Or. Can just the walls be removed leaving the interior intact?

Yes, the whole cab can be removed as a single unit. I don't know if the slat armor would need to be removed to do so or not though.

The cab has to be removed in one piece, because the original dozer is a single seater. The IDF version has a cab for two soldiers.
