Subject:Re: making sense of "M codes" ?? (vanagon option codes) MIL STD

I have seat belts (6). All doors lock.

Is the DA2 the aux heater?  I don't have that.

My tail gate looks basic.  I have seen pictures of others that have cut-outs
so that when the tailgate is down, the taillights still show through.  Mine
does NOT have this feature. Nor does it have the feature that allows you to
drop the tail gate to a level position, as chris mentioned.

It doesn't appear that there was ever any provision for the rear canopy - no
brackets or evidence of such.

No evidence of rifle racks.

My rear passenger seat is a single bench for 3 people.

I DO have a very substantial Pintle hitch.  This comes through a cut-out in
the face of the rear bumper (not under it). Includes 7-pin wiring socket.
