USMC_Sgt's "Blue Raider"

Well, I chose the name obviously cause of my tie to the Marine Corps also because it reminds me on Marine Corps Service "A" Dress Blues. Secondly, in World War II there was an elite group of men that were specially trained for amphibious landings. These Marines were deployed to the Pacific Islands. They were called “Raiders” and lead to the training Marines still receive today.

White Cover (hat to some)
Blue Trousers (pants to others)
Red Stripe aka blood stripe (hummm on your own there)
Black Shoes (well... shoes of’ course)

It's a project in work. There are many things left to do but I feel that it certainly (like any Marine) has and demands presence.

MEAN RIG you got there !! Real nicely equipped

[DominicG]

Wow! Awesome rig!



First FJ i have seen with the bushwackers that looks good!

[DoWork]

Wow, great build thread. I had no idea you had this mean of a rig!!

[USMC_Sgt]

Thanks guys! I just finished some of the stuff today... Was waiting on the 5th spacer for spare tire (it willn't fit on it w/o it) and the flares.

Dom: good to hear you like the buchwackers Because of so much backlash from others that had it from the forum, I was discouraged in putting them on.. but I think they look good because of the AR Thugs and the Fabfours bumper. They both incorporate the black with silver bolt heads look. Plus I just decided "well I like them and thats all that matters."

[FJoel]

I totally agree on the Bushwhackers! They look real sharp here! Ohh, and so does the rest of the rig!
