Default ISO cargo bed Advantages
At first I wasn't sure if I wanted a standard cargo bed or the ISO bed for my M925a1.
There are a few advantages about the ISO bed that I've come to like very much over the standard cargo bed. For one is a great place to stow my boarding ladder and second is that there is another great place to stow the tow bar. The bracket that the tow bar is resting on are meant for the back rests.

Check it out..............


Cheers,

C'dub

Very cool pics Craig. You don't see a whole lot of info on the ISO beds online. I would love some more detailed shots of the bed tie-downs, side storage, tire davit, etc... Thanks!!

Default ISO Bed
I have an ISO bed on my M35 and love it. I have never thought to put my ladder in the side storage place but it is a great idea, that is where it will live from now on.

One problem with the ISO bed is that it is made of thin metal, not the same guage stuff that the standard M35 or 5 ton beds are made of.

Mark, is it just the sides and gate that are light-weight? I know they were made lighter for easier removal, but it wouldn't make sense to make the bed floor and frame of lighter material considering the loads they were designed to carry.

You would NEVER catch me with my tow bar in a place like that! I hate to say it, but in this day and age, a $500 tow bar will never be in such an accessable place. Maybe if there was some kind of lasso lock, but I have found my tow bars too valuable to leave out in the open like that.
