Hi Jim Great pictures but I would like to add one thing but it may only be
true in Georgia even if you have it covered Georgia has to give you a
sticker that goes on the windshield and to get a sticker you pay a fee and
fill out paperwork telling what it is being used for and if it does't meet
the requirements you can't put the light on the truck.Wayne

>As some of you know, my M1007 CUCV Suburban is set up as an MP

>When I first installed the lightbar, the local law enforcement officer

>This is precisely what I did, and it cost me just $125 at the local

>When I get to one of our combat sim sites and the vehicle is posted at

>Before the vehicle hits the public road, the cover goes back on.
