Death Valley is wonderful this time of year!!!

The low-profile look is what pulled me in. It is not custom, Nguyen Works is the name of the company. The departure angle on my rig increased from 27 degrees to almost 40 degrees.

After a four month wait, the T4R finally got its new rear bumper. The departure angle has increased significantly.

I had one other related thought on this topic. I have made some awesome HF contacts while overlanding. Getting out of the city reduces RF noise. Getting up onto mountains increases propagation. For those of you thinking about upgrading your technician tickets to general or extra tickets, I...

Added a molle panel, shelf, and Power Tank bracket to the T4R.
