Marine
Armor Kit (MAK) can be installed on M1123, in either two or
four door configurations. The M1123 used a troop seat kit for
troop transport operations, a 200 ampere umbilical power cable
to power shelter equipment, and stowage racks for ammunition
and equipment. For higher payload capacity, the M1123s were
equipped with a reinforced frame, crossmembers, lifting shackles,
heavy-duty rear springs, shock absorbers, reinforced control
arms, heavy-duty tires and rims, and a transfer case and differential
with a modified gear ratio. The M1123 models, like the M1097A2
and other A2 HMMWV models, had new bumpers, along with the other
A2 improvements, which made the vehicles slightly longer. |
The
chassis, mechanical components and general performance are the
same as other models of the standard Humvee M998 series.The
M1035A2 is motorized with a V-8, 6.5L Diesel Fuel Injection
engine coupled to an 4-speed automatic transmission with a maximum
input torque rating of 451 lb.-ft. (612 N m). The M1123 Humvee
uses independent suspensions and portal geared hubs similar
to portal axles to make for a full 46cm of ground clearance.
The vehicle also has disc brakes on all 4 wheels, and 4-wheel
double-wishbone suspension.
