    M35A2C circa 1968 Strange Bracket

    This is where the horizontal pieces from your rear cargo cover bows get stowed when not in use. They go from one side to the other and then get strapped on both sides.

    VIDEO - 5 ton desert chase scene

    Nice clip. I think the guys at the guard gate were waiting for you to slow down as you were leaving. :) So what is the box you have mounted under the front bumper? Is that hydraulic fluid storage?

    PNW Info Thread!

    Peter, I think I read 500 lbs for weight. I am no the MV purist, but I do know some. So those mods would be OK, I am not planning on paddling it across lakes at this time. Though putting a lunette ring back on would have to be done before pulling it with the Champ. Tony
