Stow point?

[Gunzy]

You guys are great, so time to test you with my next question. Under the front of my M923 bed there is a rod style arm with a canvas strap hanging of it, there is one on each side. drivers side is above fuel tank, pass is over tool box. What are these for? Is it a stow point for a tow bar?

You really should just browse through the -10(basic operators manual) sometime.

It's for your bows.

I have been through the TM, didn't see that though. Thanks.

It's hiding in the back as I recall. The section that deals with specific equipment. Funny enough, the -10 I have doesn't show how or where this really is, it just hints at it, and that you should secure it with the straps.

Should be shown in the "bow and tarp kit" section.

I did find it, but I do have to say it is not 100% clear. Typical TM though. I used to deal with that on a daily basis back in the day.

I was looking at this the other day. The only picture I saw:

It would be a great spot to stow the tow bar. I know some members do something similar. Not sure the straps would be strong enough.
