Quasi CUCV Mini Mobil Man Cave gets an annex

[MWMULES]

Got a heck of a deal on my former flight-line crew truck last week from GSA. But as the pictures show box was really faded and needed a face lift. Since I am tight with $$ I found I had a gallon of Rapco Sand. BTW don't use Dollar General masking tape, it is Krap with a capital C. Roughed up the old paint with a 3M wheel, wiped it all down with thinner then masked. On carc trucks I am a house paint guy but on gloss go with real paint. I think it turned out pretty good but did go back and paint the grill black with Krylon Fusion camo to give it a more tactical look. Got the aft red stick on reflectors but will wait a couple of days for the paint to harden before I put them on. I also think I will paint the box window frames black now that I have had time to look at it.

That looks waaaay better than the blue. Great job!

Wow, that was quick, you've only had it a minute. Driving it to GA?

 

[MWMULES]

Yep, it's got the 6.5 turbo, auto OD, ice cold air and 39,000 miles.

Wow!!! Looking good! Will it be at Petit Jean?

Get some fake decals for it saying ICE DETENTION CENTER - paint job looks sweet.

Did Uncle Sam perform any of the typical PMD (injector pump brain) relocations on these?

 

[MWMULES]

Yep this one anyways.
Getting ready for the KAMO and GA Rallies and decided to add a little space to the rig. I have a bunch of NOS Temper vesti's but only two of the frame pieces, picked up some hooks from Tractor Supply then drilled a couple of holes, bolted on the hooks and now have an area for a cook shack or Tiki bar in bad weather.

It will look a little tighter if it was staked and has all the guy lines attached.

That is cool. Where did you get your headlight protectors?

 

[Recovry4x4]

You could put a urinal trough in there!

Not a good answer, but I picked them up in an auto parts store up in the panhandle somewhere between Perryton and the NM line a couple of years ago.

Any pics of the inside?

I have seen the same effect given to headlights using window screen.. not much protection at that point though..

looks REALLY good.. I never have been much of a fan when it comes to the vans, but with the paint... well its a whole new animal!
