    MRAP Light Set

    the seller has them advertised many places. He is in CA. Ships on a pallet. Yes it is good price. Wish I could afford it. Shipping to OH is killer. Again will consider sharing shipping if someone is shipping a pallet this way. He told me he can put up to 5 sets on one pallet. Also just...
