Hi Plaz...
My friend Steve (who used to have a cherry M1009) designed a slick
front and rear license plate mount for CUCVs. They are made of steel,
and slide onto either of the front or rear shackle posts on a M1009
but does not interfere with the use of the shackle, pintle, or
tailgate. You simply pop your shackle loop off (and the pin), slide
the mount over the post, and put your shackle and pin back on. The
rear mount also has a provisions for a standard license plate light.
They are VERY cool because when you get to an MV show or parade, you
can just slip them off for that USGI look.
If you (or anyone else) is interested in them, he sells them for $30
each (front or back) painted in either olive drab or sand.
