    These guys are correct, but I just wanted to add there is an actual nsn for a tray adapter that makes the optima batteries fit better.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Interesting that your slave port and blackout drive are missing. I like the swing away spare tire carrier.

    Question about my cap.

    Probably a former air force rig, ive seen plenty of pictures with different antenna mounts. How big is the hole? If its really big it could be for an observer bubble.

    M-939 Or HMMWV Seats In M-1009?

    I'm not sure of the nsn for the new seats; I have seen them on the devil (egay) though. I would assume that you would need to fab up new mounts to adapt them to the CUCV.

    M-939 Or HMMWV Seats In M-1009?

    The new style HMMWV seats aren't bad, the biggest plus I could see is getting rid of the gangsta lean.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Twlinks, do you run a soft top? Just curious as to why you have bows that look like they were repurposed from a trailer or 1008.

    RT-524 and intercom control question.

    That's what I said, I guess you aren't able to be part wrong?

    RT-524 and intercom control question.

    You are both right and wrong Carnac, the install manual for radios in the CUCV shows that plate as the mounting bracket for a control box. On page 25 of this TM: http://www.scribd.com/doc/87529383/M1009-RT1439-INST it shows the base bracket with an additional bracket for use with a control set.

    M1009 hardtop strength/load capacity?

    I'm not sure of the load capacity, however most roof racks I have seen for them have a support structure and is not just simply attached to the shell.

    My m1009 upgrade project

    Sounds like a plan. Exterior spare tire carrier might be a thought as well.

    antenna question?

    Just remember to ground out your matching unit. Also, although a control cable is not needed for operation in this manner; you should be sure to plug the control connector to avoid moisture entering the system.
