| | Hillbilly armor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hillbilly armor, also known as "farmer armor", is a slang term used by American troops to describe improvised vehicle armor, most notably during the occupation of Iraq. |
 | | To protect themselves from these threats, American troops began reinforcing their Humvees, LMTVs and MTVs with whatever was available, including scrap metal, kevlar blankets, compromised ballistic glass and plywood. |
 | | Hillbilly armor has been criticized for adding excess weight to vehicles that are not engineered to support it, limiting their range and compromising their performance. |
