I actually really like your first picture, and I'm not really a fan of those style hard tops. I need to hurry up and win the lottery so I can have a set of x door like all the cool kids!

Where'd you find the ibis tek bumper and is it as heavy as it looks?

Nick...the windshield frame has the DVE bracket.....do you have the display for it ?

 

[nickd]

Greg,
I do not have the display. What does it look like.

The bumper is not as heavy as it looks. I installed it myself with a jack and some blocking.

The top is nice, and in good condition. The only reason to go with the hard top would be to have another platform besides the mule to display the tow stuff.

DVE... I was in the first unit it the Army to get fielded the very first DVE's for testing... Fun times. The problem we had with DVE in the HEMTTS was the display was bolted the inside of the roof of the cab, and when going over bumps, between the seat itself going up and down, the truck doing up and down, one would go up while the other was going down, and some guys got sick.

Spent some more time today removing the windshield and B pillar. Installed the hard top windshield with the DVE bracket and wiring.New rubber seals are on the way. Pictures to follow

Bumper shipping weight about 300 lbs. I did my installation by myself using engine hoist.

We had them in the maxxpro mraps and they made me feel nausea fast. Something about the eyes not seeing what the body's motion is feeling. Like bad seasickness, took a couple hours to wear off.

I spent some quality time in the garage dry fitting all of the pieces. Drilling holes next! here are the pictures

Finished up the install, need to hang the mirrors, antenna, tighten things up and clean up the mess. Next I will need to mount the gunners platform, TOW mounting brackets inside and the MGS box tray.
