ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An armored wheeled vehicle is disclosed in which the front wheels are disposed within recessed wheel wells formed in the vehicle hull. The wheel wells are covered by means of spring biased fairing panels, disclosed by plates which are pivotally mounted to the sloping armored front deck of the vehicle hull and biased to a down position extending across the wheel well at the same angle of inclination as the deck surface to afford minimum vulnerability to weapons fire directed at the front area of the vehicle. The pivotal mount- ing accommodates the excursions of the front wheels created by suspension displacement on a bumpy road surface or cross country terrain contours by the tire contacting the fairing panels and forcing them open against the bias of the springs and being repositioned upon movement of the wheel hack within the wheel well to again present a minimum frontal area, dis- posed at the same inclination as the hull deck.
