ditto what WPNS said. lots of surplus ones here now selling in various states of readiness. Im sure our Gov will not have a problem sending them state side. All of our equipment seems to get brokered out through this place in Ga . We cant buy our own MV's because we cant get them across the...
WRT the gun mounts .. I dont have a picture but I saw them mounted on the passenger side closest to the gear shift, with the fore grip support hook on the dash and the stock supports on the floor.
and trolly brake.. is that like a jake brake or something? I saw jake brakes on some of the 5 ton...
sorry bro's no updates done yet. haven't even had time to think about it, been busy working on the deuce
the Crye is great. that is a squad from Brooks Alberta. I believe you are right and it is the CAGE stuff complete. Our unit uses MARPAT and it and the CRYE are IMO the best out there.

congratulations and welcome to the wonderful world of tinkering with big tools and heavy parts. the pay off is driving behind a honda civic and knowing you could go over it if you absolutely had to. :-P

ok all my lights work. however I really have to stomp on the pedal to get them to turn on. and how often do you jam the brakes on in traffic trying to time the lights.
