Wikipedia Says:

>>Armor plate
Because of its high density, depleted uranium can also be used in tank armor, sandwiched between sheets of steel armor plate. For instance, some late-production M1A1HA and M1A2 Abrams tanks built after 1998 have DU reinforcement as part of its armour plating in the front of the hull and the front of the turret and there is a program to upgrade the rest.<<

Well hush ma mouth. Still don't think we'll be seeing this on Hummers and trucks anytime soon though.
