The new MRE's are totally different than those from the early 90's. Those scrambled eggs in 92 made alot of us sick in the New Mexico desert. After the 3rd day they were all thrown out. When I was in Pakistan in 2005 we ate the new ones. I'd eat one right now...:beer:
Pretty sure in the 2nd picture the mount was modified. Off the top of my head I think there were 5 types and the one in the first picture would be the 2nd style.
The Navy lake site in Atlanta uses Kawasaki Mules which are either gas or diesel. I have seen several Army John Deere Gators in Pakistan which were diesel. Our squadron just ordered two more fully loaded Yamaha Rhinos-they are gas though.
I got mine 4-5 years ago new in the box. I used to have the directions but they are long since gone. They definately said rear facing, and are one sided with one side amber the other OD plastic. I am guessing whoever wrote the ad for Saturn either didn't know or just goofed it up.
Mine are amber only on one side. The rear (facing fwd) is solid plastic. I did just see that Saturn has the whole assembly for 12.50 each. I think they also sell just the bulb assembly for about half that. I don't think i'd want red up front either.
Jack's is in Tucson. He is still there. Tomlin's Ordnance (Jack Tomlin) is in Tooelo (sp) Utah. He passed this summer. Someone had (mangus maybe?) a whole bunch of photos of his place. Since he has passed maybe they could be put back up??? :beer:
