For anyone out there who plans on driving under NV what IR lights will you add, do you think the screen will be wayyy to bright? Interior light kill switch ideas?

This would have never occurred to me to put on my Bronco. I’m interested to see what replies we get.

I will say that, you know what I enjoy more than operating under NV?

Just turning some g’damn lights on!

;)

Why??? Anyone that has ever served is going to ask this question a lot, mostly because IR lights and NVGs are for tactical environments.

So unless your going to Afghanistan, why would you want to cripple your depth perception when you can equip a nice set of LED ultra bright off road lights and actually see the hazards your trying to avoid.

Last time this came up, I believe it was because the OP uses them for hunting. Not anything like the hunting I do in Michigan, but I believe people use them for hogs, and the OP of this thread mentioned coyotes.

Can you even imagine having a pig problem so bad that this is the necessary solution?

lol, I guess people can use their Bronco however they want, but yikes, I don’t think I could drop 50k then go tool around in the dark with a pair of NVGs just waiting to wreck something. But to each their own.

Not to mention in in my old age, I just start to get a headache wearing them any more than an hour.

pics FLIR not NVG, but still funny, happy “Hog” hunting.

I think you’ll find plenty of people who hunt... and even more of us who shoot...

But doing so under NODs is definitely not typical.

Pretty darn typical for predator hunting these days. Well, that and poaching.

I used NV a lot in the Army, hate the 2D, you lose depth perception, easy to run into shit!
I once had to drive a real-world MEDEVAC at ntc in NODs. Had it floored the entire way, and that shit was nerve wracking.
