Got the Stage 3 Motor Sports skid plate for the fuel tanks installed. Currently taking measurements to fabricate additional "armor" for the tank. This mod will have to use the factory bolt mounts and I'll have to drill some additional holes in the skid plate. I'll also use tamper proof bolts to assemble everything.

I'll just add that to the ever-growing list of projects I've got. I'm swapping out one tube in my Mod3b Night Vision Goggles. I'll have a spare tube that I should go ahead and put it in a PVS-14 housing to either sell or keep as a spare. I have a spare MX-10130 tube for a PVS-7 that I need to do the same for. I have a couple of PVS-5s I need to get fixed and put up for sale. I bought a PVS-7A on a whim I have absolutely no need for because the price was stupid cheap, and it was in mint condition. I mainly got it for nostalgia since those were the first model of night vision goggles I cut my teeth on way back in 1993.

With school and work, I am lucky enough to have time to sleep
Haha, in pretty much the same boat. Truck upgrades competing with NV/thermal upgrades...it's never ending. I need to finish a black out switch for the truck too. It'll be a lot better than the covers i've spun up for the dash/display when driving it with NV.

Moab and these trucks are a lot of fun! What are your plans?
The group I off-road with is going out there for about five days of trails. A mix of high speed and slower, technical trails. I'll probably do some exploring after as well since I'm on that end of the country.

Suggestions are welcome!

Wiring up a blackout switch is something that is on the list too. It never ends. I was able to get the Raptor out for some night vision driving a few weeks ago using my RNVGs. Was a blast but I had to cover the whole dash with a wool blanket. Not a big issue but I do need to move up the blackout switch project.
