Improvised armor for MV in Iraq

Here's a crazy thought that just might work. On the
M35, one of the major problems for installing floor
armor is the lack of areas to mount it. How about
hanging a steel sheet under the vehicle with chains
and installing sandbags on it? I bet you would still
have a good foot of clearance between the axles and
cover the whole area of the cab floor. Might not have
the room on a HMMWV, but its a start.

Clearance is not a big issue in a flat, paved urban
area, but a bomb dug into the road is, right?
