Yeah, the tow bar is for after you get the vehicle back up onto the road!

Always good to be able to extricate a convoy mate from hostile territory - can't always wait safely for the recovery crew...

That's really looking good.  :thumbsup:

Would decal have worked for the black strip?

Quote from: kerick on Yesterday at 11:58:39 AMA few more greeblies and fiddly bits to go. I made a quick punch list and the most difficult part will be the weatherstripping around the windows. I already have a piece of half round painted. Maybe tonight. I'm thinking about where to hang a tow cable. But that's the wreckers job so maybe not.
I just thought of this. I could say the weathering powder is from Saudi Arabia and see how many people start scratching their heads.

When the 50th MSB did their GAC from Beuring to Speicher, all of our trucks had tow ropes.  As both a means to get unstuck and drag a damaged comrade out of the danger zone.  And when the 227 ASOS started receiving their up-armored JTAC 1165 humvees (with winch), the recovery kits all came with 20k rated snatch straps.  So hang the tow cable.
