    925 Hard top installation

    there's a paint-by-numbers diagram somewhere, I think in the Tm's. You probably don't want to go to the expense of real CARC paint. Search the threads on CARC paint, you''ll find the paint numbers and non-CARC X-reference info.

    "The Beast"

    "The Beast"

    The fwd escape hatch is over the driver, the turret position is bolted down over the observer seat in the front, I think I'll cut the hatch lid and put a hinge on it with a latch, seems more practical. The side mirror guards are WAY sturdy.

    Poeple think of SWAT as being urban, out here that's only part of it. There's lots of Desert op's due to the drug and human smuggling traffic. The Sinaloa's "own" part of the desert here, and the Zeta's part too. There's heavily armed "Rip Crews" that go out and intercept and jack each other's...

    14.00X20 XZL Michelins. The spares are on a hand winch on each side. Getting one down is a lot easier than putting one back up there.
