Included are;
Ibis Tek’s HMMWV Front Protective Bumper (FPB) is proven to enhance vehicle protection. The durable design easily pushes obstacles from roadways and protects critical engine components in collision incidents. The rear bumper package includes a swing arm with a spare tire and other various supplies to get the vehicle running in emergency situations (i.e., fire extinguisher, etc).

Rhino Passive Infrared Defeat System (also known simply as Rhino) was an early detonation Counter-IED system. It was mounted to the front of a vehicle and used heat to prematurely detonate any hidden improvised explosive devices (IEDs) while the vehicle was at a safe distance away from the blast.

Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) device utilizing LWIR communication. DESCRIPTION: The IFF panel, also known as a Combat Identification Panel (CIP), is a passive device mounted on allied military ground vehicles to distinguish them from enemy vehicles during engagements.

All of which was either 3D printed, hand made, or made from upscale injection molds made by Picklhaulbe.

That's great work. I also like the setting you made for it.

Thanks! I tried to get the vehicle to be as true to life as possible. And thanks - that paintjob is hand brushed, just like my Abrams was.

Part of it was a kit. Some of it was also kit-bashed by me. The kit was the bumper, spare wheel/arm, and the Rhino anti-IED system. Everything else, I was responsible for.

Just curious, but did you decide not to use all of the ibis bumper/rhino kit parts or didn’t the kit that you received come with them? There were 2 shackles/pins that would also connect the rhino device to bumper through the small holes, a small piece of square tubing to attach to the base of the rhino, and a copper wire to use as wiring for the panel/flag section. I know these were originally part of the kits because I molded and cast all of the uparmored Humvee kits for Pickelhaube.

That's exactly whom I purchased from! The connector shackle/pins were covered in flash and extremely brittle, so I just chose not to have them. As for the wiring, I haven't done that yet either. I like too use wire from those cheap headphones you get on an airplane. They cut well, look right, and are cheap to obtain.
