actually i wouldnt recommend to anyone buying an armored SUV to put anything larger than 18''. This guy however got lucky that my salesman didnt ask, and when the vehicle got to the factory i was like uh oh this could be a problem (weight, runflat system).

The runflat system had to be speciallly ordered in a 22'' application and came in 3 pieces insetad of 2 and was a biiyyaattcchhh to put on. But the car is flawless Cadillac did a good job on the 08's

I had a bulletproof LandCruiser come into my work one time, it was for some government official in Mexico, crazy ****... the door was rediculously heavy and the 1.5" thick glass was crazy!

What is the rear Plexiglas looking stuff in the back of the escalade is it to like reinforce the bullet proof glass that is already back there or is the rear window not bullet proof?
