Pioneer tool rack in a M1009?

Was looking at Gov Planet and saw a M1009 for sale with a Pioneer tool rack mounted above the left rear tire wheel well. Was this a common practice?

I don't believe this was common...it was not found in a large percentage of M1009s...but I've seen it before. I've also seen mounts for jerry cans, but again, I don't think it is too common.

I’ve considered mounting a M35/37 style pioneer kit on the back of my ‘09 once I switch to a truck tailgate. I’m also considering a MaxAxe to save weight.


Never actually seen a CUCV with one while on active duty.

I had one mounted on the rear seat back. I used the existing seat hinge bolts to attach a piece of 12 gauge steel and the rack was mounted on that. Sold the M1009 back when 35 mm was my go to camera. Doubt I took pictures of it but it worked well and the seat never folded anyway.
