Its not the IDF, but this is the one we train out of most of the time.

Nice, also available for free download from lots of places.
The one I'm putting in the bags is this:

I use different size MOLLE bags for storage and to keep smaller things at hand in the front seat. We have an Army surplus store in town with some great prices on new gear.
Cool setup. How did you fab up the molle mounts on your dash and trunk?

I've been looking for a warm inner fleece for a good price. Is this the same one that is being talked about? http://www.desertdeucesurplus.com/servlet/the-1045/TRU-dsh-SPEC-Gen-III-Level/Detail

Maybe one of the guys here who have the fleece, can confirm for us which one to buy.
i see made in the USA
300 wt fleece

The rangers joe's looks the closest to what I was issued

The Gen III fleece is really nice. It is currently issued. The older version without the Velcro patches for attaching rank name and service is a lot thicker and warmer as a stand alone jacket. The one in your link is thinner, but fits better under a shell.

The one on Ranger Joe's site is my personal fave - 300 weight fleece and very well made, we call this one the Black Bear for obvious reasons.
Great value but remember one thing about fleece - it does nada against the wind!
Don't forget to have a shell on hand that works with what you have , in cold/wet weather it's all about layering up or down as the situation dictates.

Ranger Joe's fleece cap is friggen awesome. Beats the hell out of the Hellstorm one I have.
I have been sporting the Cabela's version of the ECWCS for a few years. The "loden" color is a mix of Foliage and OD.

I went with the Cabelas version because they offer long lengths, and I am a lanky ********.

I got the idea for the rear from here http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/foru...ear-door-storage-two-different-solutions.html
I used the same mounting for the front bags, there isn't much room behind the dash so you need to get your had back there to feel around. Be careful because there is a wiring harness close to where you need to drill for the left side bolt.

Excellent. I might have to do this for my Frontier and Xterra on our glove box lids... :drool:

Is the Cabelas version comparable in the warmth department?

I'd say not only yes it is warmer, but it's also better made than the Army issue.

Not so fast, I don't think the Cabela's is warmer, I think they're the same. The finish of the Cabela's is nicer though.
