    M1008/9

    I'm sixteen, and I bought my m1009 for 2500 dollars as a first vehicle. It was already converted to 12 volt starting, and had a few of the more common parts fixed. It is pretty reliable, but you have to remember that it is over 20 years old, so things will go wrong. However, it is a very...

    Installing a Amp for speakers in CUCV!

    I was just wondering, how do you plan to get the wires to the speakers, seeing that the doors have no wiring harness? Will you drill one in or wire through the floor? Also, when I put mine in I will just be using a head unit and 4 speakers, no amp. Is it ok to run the power off the rear...

    New to site, maybe buying my first CUCV soon..

    Even the m1009 can only go about 85 maxed out, so neither of them are speed demons. I regularly get blown by on the highway because i cruise at about 77 to keep the truck sounding happy.

    Strange Start

    The autozone relay is seven dollars and works exactly the same. I have one in my truck and it works perfectly. Part number is AC40 and it will show up as a blower motor relay but it is the same thing.

    24v to 12v costs and issues?

    http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/news_notes/nn10.pdf This write-up is pretty much all inclusive, and is correct. I referenced it when I bought my truck to make sure the conversion had been done right by the guy that owned it before me.

    STARTER RELAYS

    M1008 correct offset to order for hummer whls?

    I am toying with puting humvee tires on my m1009. Do I have to get the humvee rims, or can I just put the tires right on my stock cucv rims. If I do need the new rims, can anyone provide me with links to the place to buy spacers or whatever you use to make them fit. Thanks,

    Air Horns in a CUCV!!

    I mounted mine on the inside of my passenger fender. More clutter but I didn't have to run the wiring across my engine compartment. There was also a hole in the firewall over there, which sure made things easier. here are the pics

    Air Horns in a CUCV!!

    Just got done putting the air horns in the M1009. They were just the kit i got from autozone for $35. They were very easy to install, just the switch was a little finicky. They are louder than the stock horns on my friends Jimmy, I don't have a stock horn to compare to in my truck. Will post...
