Where'd you get the insulation from? The rear panel on mine fell off a couple weeks ago.
They arent too bad. At 7ft long it gives you a good walk up length. Don't need them falling on your head and messing up your bald dome.

My hood has zero insulation in it. It was cheaper to get a NOS hood with it already in it than buy all the insulation. $175 for the hood.

I watched two of my 818's go out the door for chump change. Guess money in my pocket is better than rust on the ground.

Hood swap on the gun truck, a love dent from the RRAD program.

Finished up my in-bed toolbox install in Shorty, my 932A2. I now have a toolbox on both sides of the bed with the left one being about twice as deep as the right one. I plan on carrying my tow bar, chains and air lines in the deep one.
Left side with the end cut out to make it deeper.
Both toolboxes mounted before the sheet metal installed connecting them.
Sheet metal installed and closed in.
Access door on the left side; right side is the same.

I guess that might have been a little painful. Are you planning to trade in the "chump change" for any other new MV for your herd?

Installed a 12v 20A power plug....finally....in the M925A2
Placed it on front of battery box close to drivers seat.
Out of way even for a third rider.
Used 12v power on battery and used inline fuze.
Installed cap upside down so I won't be fighting it while it's in use.
Finally can charge phone, etc.
Will install more later. Tons of room.
Bare wire ends were coated with NO-OX-ID electric grease before crimping. Shrink sleeve over that. Coating of grease on plug bare ends and at battery terminals also.
Plug is stainless steel so with the grease shouldn't have a corrosion problem for years, if at all.
I did cut my shrink sleeve a tad too long. Oh well.

Picked up the hood set on E-ay. I'll see if I can find the seller and let you know.

I got some insulation about 6 months ago, with the sticky back, $130 or so, then shipping, so I can vouch for that. Good score..

That is one of the best ideas I've seen for these.
Looks great, very handy, and great craftsmanship!
Even hauling gravel wouldn't affect it.
Well done Sir

I like the box as well. I have been trying to figure out a way to add some storage to this thing. You are close enough that I could make a day trip out of coming down to took at that sucker! ![[thumbzup]](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumzup.gif "Thumbs Up [thumbzup]")

Did the truck come with the fender mirror, or did you add it on? Either way looks good!

My son wanted to do some shooting so I loaded up his 1919A4 in the truck. We had fun.

I used my M51A1 dump to haul stumps that I dug out with the Caterpillar 941B loader I purchased Saturday(9-6-16).
