    CUCV tool kit...what do you carry?

    guns behind the seat? Behind the seat does not do any good. a pistol in the glove box, a shotgun and a rifle in the gun rack, and extra ammo behind the seat. :jumpin: oh yea, a cell phone in the pocket.

    M35a3 front turn signal light housing?

    thanks Warthog. mktopside - i am changing to led's on my M109a3 and may have a M35a3 in the future, and i was trying to find out if they were interchangable. the mounts are not angled on the back like a M35a2, they are flat. the hummer lights are flat mount and that is why i was confussed.

    Fuel transfer tank

    you may can get 2 smaller tanks and mount them side by side behind the cab so that if it does shift the one on the uphill side is still over the center of gravity, or go with a lower tank that does not set as high but is wider to keep the center of gravity down low? :idea:

    M109 Trailer

    was it another trailer or did you use a deuce frame? if you used a deuce frame what type of axles did you use (M105, dual tire axles from a genset trailer, or?????)? did you set it up with the airbrakes like an M105a2? :shock: PS. Awsome trailer. :beer:
