Tame the beast

You set the limits

More than just a roof over your head
Here's the new waterproof sound system available in option. Six 7.7’’ speakers with Bluetooth compatibility, multi-colored LEDs, an RMC amp and a genuine JL audio receiver to crank up your playlists when you’re out there in the fields herding or baling to the beat of your own drum. Sounds good? You bet!
