I wish I was closer, and I would help out, but I think you may get more traction if you post this in the CUCV forum

I recently acquired a few RAK 15 units and was thinking about mounting one in my CUCV truck......Wondered if anyone else had done this and where they mounted it. Not a lot of room in the truck so I am curious if anyone has done it and where they mounted it. Please post pics if you have.

That would definitely explain the extra holes. It wouldn't be that difficult to make new struts to even go beyond what you have to snug up the top...I have seen a few CUCV covers floating around, but I don't think any of them were priced below $500....new struts might only be a 10-15 foot piece...

Thats what the big fella standing on the tailgate is for LOL...the human handrail (and he can catch a falling wine taster too!)

The holes on my struts where the ones that are indented. Originally, it looks like there was a plastic sleeve in each of the holes to guide the bolt in though the bracket on the bed rail, but not sure if they had those same sleeves for the extension holes as well. The lower hole on your picture...

Here is my wine tasting ladder

I almost fell over when I saw this. I fitted the very same ladder on the back today. I will post a picture of it tomorrow.

My struts only had one hole to pin them to length. It put them at the full extension for the top. My biggest issue was not having the center limiting strap. I went to HB and picked up a pair of the 1 inch by 12-foot cam straps and connected them into one big loop and did an approximate height...

I have been working on installing a troop seat kit and a cargo cover on the M1028. I am still waiting on some parts to finish up the last 2 seats and I still need to remove and paint the seat slats on a few of the seats. I installed the cargo cover hardware and got that on today. All things...

Thats what I was figuring myself, just hoping you had the magical link to make that all go away LOL. Thanks and good work.

Looks great....where did you source your turn button fasteners. I need to replace mine and have yet to find any that have the single rivet like how they came. dreading drilling 2 holes each for all of the turn buttons.

Check LMC truck...I replaced all of my dash. The dash molding was around $35 and the "Delux" emblem was available there as well.

Love it.....I bought one of those this year and it is so nice to have it back to turning the key instead of pushing a button. Nice work!

I have the rare electric ones in my CUCV...the only thing different was the pulley size was a little smaller. Just means you may have to buy a shorter belt. I had enough space on the adjustment slot to install and use the original sized belts. So far very happy with them. Mounting bolt holes and...

I mounted mine on the hood and ran the wires under the back of the hood. Solar panel sits up near the corner of the passenger side of the hood......gets sunlight all day and no holes drilled into anywhere, just wire management under the hood and around the batteries.

Welcome...I live close (Sac) and would love to see your truck.....Are you going to Plymouth?

I guess that qualifies as an oh S--- moment?

I have used one and so far, it is running fine (6 months and probably about 5,000 miles
