    Antenna Tie-down

    The problem with tieing the antenna forward is that it can snag on stuff.... limbs, parking garage structure and then in trying to bend backwards it may break. I'm not sure what is recommended by the installation guide. I'll see if I can find a reference....

    LARGEST M1009 Fuel tank available

    How much total distance are you planning to go without refueling? I've used the rule of thumb for my offshore boats..... 1/3 out, 1/3 play, 1/3 home..... never consider reserve capacity. If you do the same with the CUCV that leaves you about 140 miles in to the "outback", 140 miles to play...

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

    Finally fixed the brake light switch that has been "Working - Not working - Working - Not working" for several months...... didn't want someone to get too friendly with the rear of the thing..... or the local LEO to ask me " Do you know you have no Brake lights".....

    My rhino-lined m1009

    I think herculiner is about $150, do it yourself for a pickup bed so...... I would think you could do it yourself for $300..... not sure what quantity you have to buy it in. really depends on how thick you put it on... I guess.. I have thought about the rhino or herculiner and then...
