    The MRAP smokes any version of the Humvee ever made. It's faster, it has better clearance, it's has v-hull for IEDs, it's better armored, and you can equip it with heavier weapons systems. The CROW system pictured is a remote control turret, thus the operator is safely locked inside the cab. On the front you can see the DVE system, which is an infrared display for the driver. Two remote spot-lights. I'm getting a boner.

    Dave,

    If you're on.. have you done the tack weld mod on the steering shaft? I was just perusing here and TTORA, and it looks like there are just a few bolts to remove, and you can pull the whole wheel/ column assembly out without removing. Looks pretty damn easy. Should only take like 15 minutes to pull the steering wheel/ column.

    Do you have a lot of play? I had a friend do it who used to have a stupid big double cab. Worked well for him

    Ya. I reached under the dash and I can feel/ hear the play in the shaft when I turn the wheel. Contemplating the tack weld mod and poly rack bushings.

    Just got off the phone with H&R block. They fucked up my taxes from 2011. Got a letter from das guberment that I owed them $1300 in taxes from my 2011 return. That was the one and only time I didn't do them myself cause I was getting some stupid amounts owed due to living in MA, but working in RI on a project site from 2010-2012.

    So I called them up, and they basically told me they would pay the interest (~$59), but since I didn't purchase the protection plan or W/E they call it I was SOL. What a fucking load of shit, all they do is put numbers into their own version of TurboTax. Not happy to have to shell out $1300...:frusty::bananadead:
