Nice one!

driving around with a blue beacon and military police stencils is not giving the code guys a hard time ? What's sitting on top of the radio ?

the highway patrol said as long as i don't turn the lights on it's no problem, so i only use them in parades. on top of the radio is a functioning VIC 1 system, with 3 stations, so we can talk to each other when driving down the road.
driver, passenger and one in the back as well. the siren works, too. i like to say everything works but the driver---he's retired.

Nice jeep, although it's strange seeing one in Ca. with a winter front. How fast do you drive on those tires? I'm sure it's a night and day difference from NDCC tires.

the winter brush guard came with the NOS heater kit, so i installed it. i think it looks neat, but there's no way i'll ever need it here, that's for sure. as to the tires, i drive this jeep all over the place, including the freeway, which can be busy here. that's why i have good radials instead of proper issue tires. i was out and about just this morning, and some knucklehead forced me to slam on the brakes. glad i had those tires.
