Exactly haha as someone who is military the ranger might be just a smidgen better.
Yeah but Mil-Spec have much better options. I.e., machine gun turret.

Yes, more pictures of the Saber please !. Could you show lower down from the bumper. I don't think yours has the lower engine/rad skid plate offered in the kit. What do you think of that bumper in aluminum. I am just looking to go on Wilderness trails, Traveling slow where necessary. I want the winch in case I get stuck.

If only we could add a turret to the ranger like a humvee

I have most my pics on Instagram ( mil_spek_ranger) but if you don't then I can get some photos added here tonight. I do have the skid plate and wouldn't want to go anywhere without it. Aluminum is good for weight and that it won't rust which sounds good for your build, I go hard when I offroad so I felt I needed the extra protection steel gives.

The Aluminum Bumper is pricey over the steel. Finally a Canadian company supplying part's for the Ranger. Its right where I live. Won't have to pay for shipping.

That's awesome! I chose them as my first sponsor for the same reason, I'm proud to be canadian and use canadian parts. Make sure to add my discount so you don't pay those pesky taxes ;)

It depends on which branch writes the spec. Special forces vs regular military.

it all depends on applications/missions…

just saying…

I mean,really…..a lot of automotive specs are adopted by the military as mil-spec…

Not thinking too deep, I work in the DOD industry and understand it… My apologies if you think it’s too deep but I was just trying to inform people for better understanding…

You can just keep your head buried in the sand for all I care…
