I know my m101a2 is much easier to move, since I put a wheel on the front. The landing leg sucks.

Well, they show it has a 1986. It doesn't look like the 1986 that we usually see has a m1008, or your 1984 m1009. I know 1986 was the year they changed the design, halfway through the model year, and I've seen 1986 of the second half listed as 1986. But that isn't the reason for the questions.

Is the 6.2 a modified 350 cid engine? I know the ones in the 70's were junk. I'm guessing they improved them somewhat in the 80's? And with no smog junk, it made for a better engine anyway? I had an old Oldsmobile someone had converted the engine from diesel to gas. Seems they just swapped the...

Walking a very thin line here: A pre 86.5 GM/Chev is a CUCV while a post 86.5 is a CUCV II, correct? They don't seem to note the difference when looking them up. My main question is, between a civilian rig and military rig, is there any real difference in the CUCV II (Post 86.5 GM)? It seems...

My son is big on doing something electric. His dream car is a Tesla. Anyway he had thought that finding something like this would be a great conversion project. Bad thing is the guy thinks its made of carbon I.e. diamonds.

First thing people do when someone says "Don't!" Yeah, 7+ views already. So, putting 'Ignore' is like putting up a light at dusk. Attracts flies like stink on..... :tank:

I have an a2. It has the GM wheels, not the a3 wheels. I went and tried to fit some E tires for weight, and the shortest ones I could get on only dropped it an inch or so. I'd have to go with 15 inch wheels most likely to get shorter, or flip the axle, get different shocks, and ditch the brakes...

Well, I have spare wheels, just need shorter tires. And shorter tires only gives me about an inch. I'd like it to be about 6 inches lower. I'm not using this off road, and it would match up better with my truck.

What tilt feature? I like my m101a2, I just wish it was lower, easier to load and unload, and weatherproof. Oh, and towing it behind my Dakota is a joke, but that's the Dakota's fault, not the trailer. I suppose I could put another $500 into it, tires, axle and such to make it tow easier (See...

Say you have an m101a2 trailer. It has bows and cover and you've done a few things to make it easier to use, LED lights and a wheeled tongue jack. Now, you've been looking at the newer trailers, m1101/02. Dang they look nice. Nice tie downs in the bed. Some even have hardtops! Question: would...

I forwarded that to my son. Just need to hear back from the current owner... 35 mile range? Hopefully, there's some way to make it go further.

Already been there. Which is why I asked about the MB number. It seemed short. Yes, lost of info. Short on filtering out what is useful and what is just idle chatter.... Still negotiating with the owner. My son wants something he can modify to electric. I told him "Fine, but you need to add...

MB56938 And this tells you...? And then me....?

If I find out the MB#, I'll let you know... I'm sure some of the stuff done to it was to get it running after 7 years. I was under the impression these were 6 volt systems, but it looks 12 volt?

Yeah, someone wants $1200 for a rolling hulk! I understand saving a bit of history, but sometimes, junk is junk... Please don't let my wife hear that.

History: (from the current owner) Yes there is a title, and a story. There is a little rust, but what do you expect... The lady (65 yo woman), said that her dad, bought the jeep from a friend a long time ago. Dad drove the jeep all over the place and it was his baby. I asked about his...

Description: "1943 Willys MB. This jeep is fresh out of the barn. This jeep has all original equipment. It is packing, the one and only L134 go devil engine attached to the T84 trans and timeless dana 18 t case! The engine has an MB # on the boss. This jeep even has the original shovel and...

Looks fairly stock and complete. Has tow bar on bumper :-/ Even has the shovel and axe. Runs. Needs brake work. Round figure for value? Not mine. Saw it elsewhere. Checking rust issues.

There's always this option. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?101016-70-M816-Kaiser-Jeep-Wrecker-with-Plow Although, considering where the guy lives I would think having a plow would come in handy.
