Did my first deployment as Track Company in 96'. That picture is so spot on as well. Not to mention being buttoned up inside one, full MOPP gear, playing fake "we got gassed" for hours in the California sun.

Got in yesterday and installed today... whew. Synergy’s trackbar and sector shaft brace. I fully recommend 150%.

what wheels/tires/suspension setup do you have, and does it help the "wandering"? i heard from somebody else that it did help a ton, even on a stock rubicon.

just curious for a friend......:idea:

Will do. I won't have it until this weekend, but I will be sure to post one after I have them wired up.
Did you ever get that shot of the TrailCam view with those lights and winch hoop (Perhaps I missed it?)?

I did. Check Page 114, Post #1700.

It was raining when I took that photo. If you'd like a clear picture in the day time, let me know. We have nice weather today!

Snapped on my Amber Covers for the KC Hilites Gravity LED PRO6 lights on my front bumper.

Also decided to get “Stubby” for the first time!

I have read a bit on them and folks seem to like them in dusty situations. I am going to check them out in rain and see if it makes a difference. Plus they give me extra protection from rocks, etc on my lights without having to stop to take off the covers when I want to switch on the lights.

I can tell you these lights are outstanding. It was raining cats and dogs on Monday at 0500. My LED headlights worked, but did not give me the light I really needed. I switched on the PRO6's and had no issues seeing. I have mine pointed a bit down so they do not blind anyone in front of me. Really happy with this purchase. I'll take some pics with the covers on and covers off to see if there is a noticeable difference.

Brings back fond memories.

Thanks! Yeah, that's a bit more interference than I was hoping for. You may have seen that I had mocked up some other options with the shorter factory winch hoop, which, not surprisingly, doesn't intrude too much. This would require me to fab up a small bracket, but this is what the KC Lazer lights would look like ...

Great pics. I remember the first time our sniper platoon got to wear the chocolate chip desert cammies. Those and the boonie hat and we thought we were hot sh!t.

Great Mock-Up! Can't wait to see the final product.
