Gun Mounts added

[baja_power]

Finally got the rifle mounts installed last night. work great. When you have both rifles in it makes it a little cramped. but you can get by. good investment in my view

Man, we need to reapint the interior of your truck

 

[baja_power]

yeah yeah yeah..... I notice your not out there doing it

Looks cool,Mine doubles as a cup holder..My cup just fits between the dash and the backside of the mount..

 

[Towerguy1]

I like it! I have a set, just need to install them.

Another cool trick with the gunmounts is to take a piece of 1 1/2 (I think) PVC with a bell adapter to 4" Slide the 1 1/2 in the gun mount from the top and sit your drink in the big part. A little 24052 and it look cool. I also took a 3" slip coupling and epoxied a magnet to the bottm. Works everywhere in the deuce.

We were cooking up a cupholder adapter ourselves!
Great minds think alike...

Steering columns in primer

Why are a lot of the M35s steering columns in primer...mine included?
Is this an item that got replaced frequently enough to justify not painting it? Or was it bad ju ju to paint it?

Warren-
I've wondered that myself....must be some secret DoD reason for it???

 

[hot rod deuce]

anybody know if they are too short for my M4 carbine? kinda looks like it...

 

[Recovry4x4]

The mounts are pretty universal. You could mount a single and make it lower on the dash or maybe block up the bottom. Once you get the top brackets I see a fabricated lower cradle for the M4 considering your penchant for fabrication. For as inexpensive as the mounts have been, one can afford to play with them. I've also seen them mounted in the corners behind the seat and in single form on the dash by the doors.

M4 with the CAR?
We have 2.....as long as the stock is extended they fit fine, even the short barrreled one.

 

[Crazyguyla]

The primered steering columns are probsly that way for a few reasons: 1. CARC paint is dangerous, so units don't send them trucks to be painted becausse of a new steering column. 2. Most of the supply sections i have delt with have spray paint low on their priorty lists of things to buy. 3. Even if the stuff was avalible, it's a new army and spending days in the motorpool making sure one's vehicle was up to snuff and ready for the ole canine and esquierterian extravaganza, soldiers must have quality training and not in the motorpool fixing stuff. it's not official policy, just what i have noticed in the last 8 yrs.

Hey BP, I just had a sudden mental image of you taking your driving test with the AR's bolted in the rack.

Almost spit my morning coffee.

Actually the far one is an M16.....SP1 - very early upper...no brass deflector, no forward assist. (1961-1963...would of had to have been an Air Force gun).
