'Dawg thanks for throwing up the pics. After looking around seems like I can buy a complete NIB ILBE Gen 2 for a about half the money of a new MR Nice Crew Cab w/lid. And after reading over at rokslide where most say if you are taller, than 5' 9" guy, the load lifters won't work for ya. I'm 6' tall plus an old former Marine, when we used the Alice Packs, like I said old! LOL The attraction of the MR stuff was because I'm not a camo guy but I am pretty sure I can talk my wife into sewing up a light weight pack cover for it.

Cheers!
