    Rite rite. I think the above link I posted is the same thing. Pretty much all Ribbons have an actual Medal that goes with it. The ribbon set also known as the fruit salad, is a normal wear on the dress uniform. The actual corresponding Medal (same color as the ribbon just longer with a medal attached) can be worn at special occasions.

    I don’t wanna sound like an idiot if you already know this. So a free open hand smack to muh face is acceptable.

    Not to jack up the OP’s thread anymore. Haha.

    Just had a local PD car, Ambulance and Fire truck kitted up with Christmas lights come thru the neighborhood with sirens blipping. This was a definite first.

    Happy holidays, kids!

    My highest award received was the joint unit commendation medal, received for doing my job. Looks cool though.

    Not turning this into a competition at all by any means.... just find it interesting.

    I would say this is the prettiest of mine.

    I think that was pretty much about the same timeline for him as well. I think he was some sort of supporting type unit.

    Looks so solid, I like the look of the tent sitting lower much better.

    I really like it too. I’m curious to see how much impact it has while off-roading.

    I’m sure it will be noticeable. We can try to flip mine and then yours to see which one holds up better.
    Driving on the road at highway speeds will probably be when it’s most noticeable as well.

    I’ve got the perfect obstacle at Potts that makes you shit your pants a little. Did it for the first time last trip and boy it felt tippy. Starts at the 5:00 mark. Doesn’t look like much on camera but from the drivers seat I was definitely puckered up at the bottom. Right at the 6:13 mark.

    Oh yeah, can’t wait to get out. It’s so annoying how videos don’t fully capture the pucker effect lol. Awesome video though as well.

    Need to get this rear bumper on and hopefully that boosts my confidence level as I’ll be fully protected.

    I got a warfab high clearance. Had them make up those side tubes for a little more protection for me.

    My only decision now is whether or not I get it powder coated. All of my other stuff is powder coated so I want it to match but at the same time want to just knock it out myself and save some time and money.

    I like their bumpers and that looks great too. Another thing to think about is how much of a pain it is painting this time of the year with the temps. Plus painting round tube is annoying, trying to get full coverage. There are so many nooks and crannies. Powder would def be easier but of course mo money. All my stuff is rattle can.

    Oooo today marks the 10 week mark on my accutune order for rear shocks, and I was quoted a 10 week lead time. I’ll reach out to them at the end of next week if I don’t hear anything and ask them if there’s an estimated ship date.

    I appreciate it, they do some awesome work. Good point, luckily I have a spare bedroom I can paint in lol. It would be hard to get full coverage and yep I’ve been convinced. Powder it is.
