    101 bed on a 1008? Possible?

    Everybody thinks it is ugly! I think its pretty cool. Driving from NC to TX with the -10a and a fully built, tube frame, competition CJ-7 on the trailer, the 10 got all the compliments/comments/questions! :cookoo: Build thread here...

    101 bed on a 1008? Possible?

    Paint is on the list, it is a llllooooonnnngggg list:) It has M1008 axles under it now, so I guess it has one more reason to be here!

    101 bed on a 1008? Possible?

    I like my cut down M101 bed on my modified CJ-10a tug! I think it looks good with the HMMWV wheels, but it would look like a lot of room for stock tires.

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    They are in heavy truck junkyards, it might take a lot of calling to find one for a decent price. They are not small and you might need to move the transfercase or modify the jackshaft, but they are SAE transmissions and finding all the parts to bolt them up should be OK. There are a bunch of...

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    There are several RTOO series transmissions like the RTOO12513 that have 2 overs, with .63 being the upper overdrive ratio. Should be able to handle the Cummins with no problems, and help your at speed RPM and clear up that nasty 3-4 shift. PLUS, you get that good old fashioned non syncro'd...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    I have talked with a number of people that run 37s and 4.88s, and while it is not the best combo in the world, they have been making it work OK with the stock sd33. I am actually seriously considering a VW TDI swap with a toyota five speed manual, so the 4.88's should work a lot better for...

    CJ 10 Dimensions and Specs?

    I think my thread should answer most of your questions. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/auxillary-equipment/44498-cj10a-flightline-tug-4wd-pickup-truck.html I can get some more measurements if you want, just let me know in that thread or PM me.

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    Thanks for the interest! I dont know how much you can lengthen it without making the frame longer, there is not much room to play around with it. It is very easy to lengthen it, just weld in a (I think) 2x4 steel beam to the back of the frame. Mine is lengthened to ~125 inches. As long as...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    It looks like the M101 is essentially the same construction front and rear. I think I am going to use the rear part of both trailers to make my bed, I think they will give me the least amount of rusted sheet metal as well. I got the rear axle under it, it is now sitting on all 4 HMMWV wheels.

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    I wasn't sure what you wanted, and it was a little hard to get a good picture in there with the overcast day today, but this might get you started? The top fitting (big banjo bolt) goes to the brake booster for vacuum brakes Middle fitting (high pressure hose) comes from the block, it is high...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    You aint kidding... I wasn't really thinking about it until my friend said it looked an awful lot like his YJ... Almost sold it on the spot :-D I thought about a CJ grill and fenders for about 2.3 seconds, but the stock -10 stuff is too cool to mess with. Besides, it will leave alot of Jeep...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    I have built 4wd vehicles ranging from stock to extreme to over the top ridiculous - I helped build a full on competition rock crawler with 4wd, lockers, 4 wheel steering, etc., etc. This is more of a general mess around town vehicle. I have a CJ that is 100% offroad, but titled to drive on...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    I have a little different green iron project going on. I bought a chopped up CJ10a and a M101a1 trailer body and it is time to see what I can do with them. The -10a runs well, and I have an IH turbo setup to get a little more power out of it. I have a set of HMMWV rims and tires for it. The...

    Long Shot - M101 bed in NC or PA?

    Thanks for looking out! I must have missed that one! Just what I need. Just missed out on the auction due to shipping concerns, but I messaged the guy and hopefully we can work something out.

    Long Shot - M101 bed in NC or PA?

    I would prefer to buy from an individual, but things like this you usually have to ask about, they dont show up on the classifieds often.

    Long Shot - M101 bed in NC or PA?

    Long story, too, but I have a CJ-10a that has already been lengthened and made 4wd, and I am looking to put a bed on it kinda like a bobbed deuce. I have a M101 trailer bed on it in very poor shape and I was wondering if anyone had an extra laying around in the Raleigh, NC or Philadelphia area...
