It looks pretty nice. The paint and weathering look good. The only issues I see are the windows and the roof supports. On the windows, it looks as though you sprayed them with dullcoat, which fogs them. They should be either taped off or left out until after the dullcoat is applied to prevent this. The other issue is the partial hard roof. There should be support bard at the rear. If not, the weight of the gun and ring mount will bend the roof down and not allow the doors to open, etc.

You can see the roof support tubes on this SF HMMWV of a similar deisgn.


Good job overall. A few tweaks and it will be great.

I have issues with the windows for entirely different reasons. The kid down the street from me likes to display his Tacoma like that, to show us how much fun he had over the weekend.
For combat, driving around like that is an invitation to disaster. You may have missed my previous comments on the subject, but we ALWAYS cleaned the windshields, at EVERY security halt, or whenever needed. There are a lot of bad people and things out there. Seeing them first usually keeps you alive.
The pack upfront? Yes, I've seen it done. My question is, however...
Why would you want to get your gear all muddy when the enitre rear compartment is empty?
Just some thoughts. Overall, the mud does look good, save the clump on the left front.
