    M101A3 DOT Lighting

    I believe that tire and 12 bolt rim are the same ones used on earlier HMMWVs. As to the use of the tire and rim on a CUCV I would search or ask the CUCV forum.

    M101A3 DOT Lighting

The mudflaps were made from two old deuce metal and rubber flaps/braces. I had to attach them to a 1 1/2 inch piece...
