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.
