    Been watching you for a while now and my wife hit the one-year mark last month for official retirement so I'm loving your Abel content. I was leaning hard toward this sort of setup, but I want a pass through pretty badly, but we'll see. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there. Have no idea how you're not getting constant request for custom work or maybe you are lol. Seen a lot of people talk about what they can do but you get stuff done.

    I have a hard time sitting still when I get an idea and want to execute it... The only work I do on vehicles is the ones that I own. If I did the work for other people it would go unappreciated unless of course you are buying a vehicle I built (like Rusty the snowcat). Plenty of LMTV owners have a pass through for their habitat. Check out the Broke Overland channel...

    I recall you said something about 49" straps that you found. Did you have a link or a part number?? I might try a set out to see if they fit.

    Ground clearance is upgraded too. Hopefully the brackets are thick/strong enough to hold extra the weight and leverage and will not fatigue in time. On the highway probably none of this would matter.

    We are sorry to hear things in your neighborhood have gotten so bad that you have had to switch to a bullet-proof tank .. we also recommend 1" plate for trojan protection.. One plus , the extra 20 gallons will all for 5 extra Incendiary devices. Looking forward to drone launching hatch .. 😊
