Damaged the right rear quarter panel on the Crown of Thorns M1009. I was re-stacking a few cars and the pile fell over and hit the side of my truck. I was actually digging a stacked car out of the pile to get some parts from it and I pulled my M1009 down so I could work out of my tool box on the tailgate. And all was well till the last car was on top about 12 ft up and fell and knocked the back pile down. It just barely touched my truck but it did hit it about 6 inches above the gas fill door. No problem. No broken glass and no real harm done. I don't like it but I can live with it. It was a GMC truck that hit the M1009.

I w3as thinking more along the line of an auxiliary brake fluid cooler mounted in the grille with its own fan. That would fit right up there with a power steering fluid cooler.

I would have just cut a slot in the U bolt to make room for the brake line..
and I hope you know I am Just kidding.
To Rustystud, don't feel bad, with these online forums it's so hard to "really" get an idea if a person is kidding or not, hence the need for a Sarcastic font or some sort of sarcastic quotation marks.

Funny thing is that such a device exists. For race cars though. No CUCV version.

In the end I drilled a hole in the axel shaft and ran it through there for a 'really clean look'

Just grind a slot down the axle shaft, it will look very clean when finished.

I moved a few of them around in the yard and raked leaves. I have been driving my car a lot lately. I am getting spoiled with all the luxury of a car. De Elegance is my new standard. And if things don't work out. I can always put the body on a M1009 frame and chassis. Maybe. Maybe NOT.

That's pretty slick. Do you know what kind of wind loading it's rated to handle?

That sure seems plenty solid. I never would have guessed it could take that much.

Drove up into the Olympic Mountains today to scout for our Christmas tree. At one point I spotted a sign on a tree about 500' up the hillside and decided to climb up there and see what it said. Dang. 
I'm not 13 years old anymore, that was 40 years ago, it wasn't as easy as it used to be. I made it nevertheless, and it was anticlimactic once I got there.
