Last night I installed the fenders on the project mule that will carry the demilled 106. Here are a couple of pictures.

Great looking Mule. Are you going to swap out to the wider tires as well?

The mule had fenders? Were they an issue item? Never seen a mule with fenders before, and I've seen dozens of mules....

Yep, the fenders that Nick has on his mule are the same as the ones that were installed on my A5 when it was rebuilt as a "high mobility" Mule at Ft. Campbell in the early eighties. The mule got wide terra tires, fenders (to keep the tires covered), and electric start using an alternator and voltage regulator off a M880 (12volt system).

Photos of my Mule taken last year during the local Veteran's Day parade show the fenders, wide tires, etc. pretty well along with use of the towbar and the trailer that I use to haul it with (ex Navy tilt deck). I need to take a bunch more as it now has a new paint job that I did when I converted it to four wheel steer... See:

Bill Watson in Greensboro has fenders for sale...

Not sure if I will change the tires to the wider ones. The tires in the picture are the next size down balloon tire and not the skinny tire that looks like a scaled down jeep tire.

Nice mule. I've been eyeing one myself. I may go for it.

If you are going to get one sooner is less expensive than later. Mules seem to go up in value faster that most military vehicles!
