Glad you where able to join the MV crowd. Looks like a good purchase.

I will look into modifying the stock wiring diagram to show how the Rosscommon system works. I have also added this thread to the CUCV Helpful Threads sticky

There is a company called Rosscommon Equipment Center that has been retrofitting MVs to fire fighting usages for years. http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com One of their conversions was to change out the CUCVs (not the M1010s) 24v electrical system to a more standard 12v system. This...

Thanks for the update and good job!!! [thumbzup]

The spare tire rack and associated tool box where removed to make way for the winch and headache rack. I have a couple of the spare tire racks and should have the hardware if you need them. You will need to figure out someplace to mount them
