New pics.. home and "modded"

Couldn't wait to make a few new touches to make her "mine", so I threw on the convoy lights and bridge plate this week... I might have no things on 100% properly, so if the lights look funny, lemme know.

Looks good!

On the convoy lights... you might consider lowering the poles where they clamp to the cab. I have mine set so the bottom of the lights is about even with the top of the cab canvas. This keeps them lower for protection, and you can still raise them up if need be.

Looks good!
Ditto what Mike said. I know of a guy that smashed a light on a tree branch when they were set at that heigth.... I lowered the extensions on mine so that the light base sits on top of the angle bracket. The lights are still just above the top. The main poles have a 'stop' bracket on them that rest on top of the cab 'U' clamp, so you would loose that feature if you lowered the main pole. You might even consider putting a 'cage' around the globes if you are off road much with it.

I havent had any ill effects from not using the stop tabs.... Matter of fact, I intend to take them off at least one of the poles, as I am going to turn it so it points 'in'. I am also planning on the cage you speak of. Just trying to decide how I want to do it effectively.

Looks like she likes her new home now all she needs is a don't mess with Texas sticker to make her a native Texan like my youngest daughter. Hope she gives you great service and if you are looking at doing something with the M 200A1 let me know I converted mine to a dolly convertor.

Looks great!

that's a good looking unit

Looks very nice! The brown in the camo looks a little too "red" but it comes out nicely.

Yea, some of the colors might be a bit 'off', but I was wondering about the olive drab bus in the last photo....Is that military or just a result of the color shift?
