You gotta put coordinates up if you're gonna post pics like that! :-P

I think it looks better with the patina. The Ranger badges thats another story :smile:

Here is the very first mod I did to the 100 back in 2011. - Pelican 7060 rechargeable LED flashlight. I used 3m double stick on the back of the charger and mated it to the upper arm rest console. I drilled a small hole for the power wire and tapped the 12v socket in the back of the armrest. -...

Thank you for the nice comments on the setup. I'd say that the grommets are stressed but nothing has come apart or looks to be imminent failure. I've not measured the force of the home depot bungie cords but they seem to have enough give to not tear the grommets... yet :-) Having said this...

Sounds like you have it wired up. I might have missed it but what comms are you running on your trip?

@ArmyofMike 16 is about max limit of rigs and still be manageable. I've led multiple trips with large groups the key is to be organized in itinerary and set expectations. Looks like you have that started above. Let me know if I can help you on the planning. Last Year
