You must have a very understanding wife. (She got a sister?) Don't forget to skim a few $$ every coupe of big purchases for flowers, lots of flowers...

Got the rhino mount all fixed up and mounted. Just need to add the latch assembly and a fresh coat of paint on it.

Nothing improves the poor visibility out of a HMMWV like ... hey, wait a minute...
I assume the windshield wipers are tied back (forward) to help you get the glass out, not because you put the tint on the outside?
Looks good though!

Haha kind sir you need to test drive 2017 to 2024 Tacoma and tell me about your results on poor visibility
Humvee has a belt line seating position, that’s what makes side visibility excellent,
hood is positioned lower than 99% of modern SUVs Opening front approach visibility equal to most small sedans.
On the new Silverado and dodge ram hood visibility break-over angle is 24 to 31 ft,
On the humvee is 9 ft
they folded the wiper blades so the could do basic cut of the film from the outside and put it inside

Looks amazing!
I'm doing 20% doors, 5% rear window and 5% eyebrow on the windshields.

Now onto finishing the turret. Behr Ultra didn’t look quite so shiny in the garage. Hope it dulls up some when it fully cures.

Went with 40's to reduce the 2" gap from the body lift between the wheels and fender lines. That part is taken care of only to look like a small farm tractor now. Have to test it for some days but 37's were better overall

Drove out to the base to top up the tank and saw these parked at the former auto hobby shop nearby:

I stopped at the (going to) DRMO lot and this one is still there. Story is a young Marine drove it off one of the magazines (sort of like a Quonset hut covered in dirt/grass) and dropped it 30' strait to the ground.
What are those white panels on the turret?

OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV
You have some very nice trail options! Yes Southern California has thousands of miles of trails Even in the heart of Los Angeles, this trail is probably 35 miles crows flight from LA

I think it's the light reflecting off the glass - not white but clear.

interesting to see the wrecked ones has supplemental red lights on the front corners and one of the "new" ones has a clear light. Are these mp units ? and those are flashers?
Also what is the wording on the license plates? Never seen tactical vehicles with road plates.

It's a base that stores what they refer to as "reentry vehicles" so these are USMC security forces. I've seen both the red and the clear, but remember the clear might look clear but flash red - who knows. The license plates say USMC and "For official use only".
We corralled one of the contract maintenance guys and he had some really interesting tales of the way these vehicles are abused.
