M1009 rear storage w/drawers

[twa@ezdn.net]

Built a box for the rear with metal drawers from a file cabinet. You can't see it but there is a compartment at the back (by rear seat) that is full width and is 8" wide with a hatch on the top that holds parts and fluids for the truck.

Also just painted (showed the scout troop how to sand and prep!) Tim

Very nice !!!!!
what about a spare when not toting the trailer?
I like the shelving as well.

Awesome!!!

That's pretty cool! Truck and trailer setup looks great too!

What kinda lift you have on the CUCV?

 

[twa@ezdn.net]

The spare will go on top as soon as I finish the rack. the rack will be small and will only hold the tire and possibly a mount for the pioneer tools. The Hi Lift jack is mounted under the rear bumper.....Tim

One thing I noticed is that the CUCV has the 8-bolt wheels, and the M101 trailer has the older M37-style 5-bolt wheels. He will need to upgrade the trailer to the 8-bolt axle in order to haul only one spare tire, otherwise he will need to carry one for the CUCV and one for the trailer.

I hope to find adaptors or axle swap for the tire standard. Will be bidding on a A2 to make the changes to and set up for the truck, I want the brakes.

Hiked "Old Rag" recently, and could have used the brakes on the trailer getting there...Tim

Nice blazer! I'd like to throw some 3/4 ton axles under my farm truck.

What derelict aircraft was that in the background?

 

[twa@ezdn.net]

The aircraft is a E-2 hawkeye....Tim

 

[Midnight Rider]

That's pure genius.

Is that an ammo can converted to a mini stove in the last pic?

 

[twa@ezdn.net]

Yes it is a 50 cal can and has made many pots of coffee and hot chocolate.

I need to make one out of a 20 MM can to heat my GP Small...Tim

 

[suggsdr]

That is a nice set up.I wish i had the time to set up my blazer like that.

 

[frodobaggins]

Ok more pics of the stove. NOW!

 

[Brett09]

What he said.

 

[ssdvc]

very nice setup. I can't see clearly, but I thought that 1009's came with 6 lug wheels, not 8. Did you do an axle swap? What size are those tires??

 

[twa@ezdn.net]

Give me a few min on the pics, the tires are 35" Goodyear and the rims are stock 15" 6 lug. Tim

 

[twa@ezdn.net]

I am out making some ammo stoves tonight so the pis were EZ. My wife thinks I should make some and take to the farmers market with her, Sooo thats what I am up to tonight. Everyone who sees it wants one so maybe shes right. Nothing to it really and the work great, I just need to get some big cans from Doghead. I can not find any 20mm cans local (Navy country no less!

 

[SimonG]

TWa great rig. Cant wait to get my 09 and trailer set up simular to that.
As for the stove what you charging for them at the market?

 

[maddawg308]

twa - had a 20mm ammo can like that years back. My friend still has it, it was a smoker, a grill, a stove, etc. Very cool but was a pain to use. Still wish I could have it back.

I was just rememberin', there were 5 to 6 bolt adapters so that older M101 trailer that used the M37 rims, could instead use the M715 wheels, which were 6-bolt 16 inch. Not sure the bolt diameter, but it might be an option instead of buying another trailer...
