Build looks great, and good to see it is out being used. Quick question, where did you get the tail gate?

We have been having lots of fun in the 40. My 3 year old loves to go exploring in the desert.

The Mag pouch on the door is the coolest mod yet! I love the whole thread, and hope to copy your swing away carriers.

It's a beauty.

Read back through the thread. He made it from a set of early barn doors.

I've gotta ask-how/who did the speedo recondition?

...I'm gonna need help...

 

[lelandEOD]

I did it. I bought a kit from amauer and printed out the instruction manual. Aside from that, I just had the bezel powder coated. Not hard.

Also, I went a little overboard on the organization front. I had a couple MOLLE panels from a Paraclete plate carrier that were not being used so I adapted them to the seat backs. I basically riveted the MOLLE panels to the tin panels and attached various pouches I had laying around. They may look a little silly, but they're pretty useful!





Call me silly... but hey, an operator's got to operate.

Man, in that light those parts look very much like 6H9. You have done a great job and should be proud! Go Army, beat Navy!

There's some 'cruiser porn at the end of of this video of my shooting club's fall long range match.



Drones are cool.

Very cool!

Nice video, how did you shoot? I was a sniper wit DOE in another life, and my son is a sniper with 1st Force Recon at Pendelton. The only time I have shot in the desert was at the AFB in New Mexico. I would love to attend a shoot like yours to see all the new gear.

Nice video! Nice FJ too!

Somehow, I managed to shoot first in .308 and 7th overall. This was avery cool match: over one hundred rounds on steel at distances from 200-945 yards. Lots of innovative stages; toddler bed, roof top and even a relay race around parking cones to get you out of your comfort zone. ...standing, kneeling, prone unsupported; strong-hand, weak-hand; lots of wind and spitting rain - joy.

What kind of camera were you using? Very nice!
