    M1009 Custom Winch Bumper

    Thought I would share some pictures of my new winch bumper. My lady friend "got" me this for christmas, but had a long wait as the shop had a pretty big backlog. Tactical Armor Group did the work and so far I am very please with the look and functionality. Cheers

    Where to put Speakers

    Q-Logic makes them, got mine on ebay. They are the same as LMCs, but i bought mine without speakers and put my preferred speakers in. I just don't trust the quality of the speakers from after market re-sellers.

    Show us your Military Trailers

    Picked up my first trailer, an M101A2 with CBC, yesterday and spent most of the day putting the weatherstripping back in place.
