Lonesome - I'm very happy with my M1009. Have you checked the Classified Ads here on SS? I just popped over there and found one in GA for sale. :smile:

A couple more:

CUCVSRK: I finally had a chance to take pictures of my trailer hitch installation.

Kid Kodiak: Welcome to SS! I would like to replace my CDR hose. Mine is a bit cracked but not too bad. I'd rather replace it before I have to tape it together. Any recommendations on what type & diameter hose I can use as a replacement? The local parts stores sell hose by the foot - just...

The M1009 can safely tow about 6500 lbs with stock axles & tires. Is the receiver on your bumper just welded to the bottom? Is the bumper welded to the truck frame? Does the bumper have extra reinforcements welded to it that bolt or weld to the frame? I feel that you would be much better off by...

M715: The MUTT weighs roughly 2700 lbs total. Since the jeep is unibody construction, there is no tub to separate from a ladder frame. The bulk of the weight is in the power pack (engine and transmission). There is no separate transfer case and no high/low range. You only have engage/disengage...

I apologize for the novel I wrote but feel compelled to share a few experiences with my M151A2. I bought my M151A2 in July of 2004 and have put over 6,000 miles on it. I’ve driven it on major interstates and toll roads as well as backwoods dirt trails. I’ve used mine as a daily driver for...

Moose97 - I'm 6'2" and 205 lbs. A friend of mine has an M37. I think it's a fantastic truck BUT I have a hard time getting behind the wheel and feeling comfortable. I looked at so many different shapes & sizes of MV's before I bought my first. The one I had the most leg room in is the M151A2. I...

NDT - I worked at KSC up until last year and had access to lots of fun places around NASA/CCAFS property, including the Capeside DRMO lot and the NASA excess property warehouse. I never saw any of those vehicles anywhere on Center. :cry: A couple of years ago, I watched sections of the Saturn V...

I tried a couple of different ways to send you an email with no success. I'd like to attend the parade. Please post more details as you get them. Thanks! :)

These stories remind me of an experience that in essence changed my life. I was at an air show in January 2003 as a member of the First Florida Chapter MVPA. At the time, I didn’t own any MV’s. I spotted a gentleman wearing a WWII Vet hat leaning on the flat fender of an MB/GPW. He had tears...

The beach may be fun, but the Deuce ride is something she will never forget. Keep taking her for rides as often as possible. Pop the hood and show her the engine. Get that little girl hooked on big green iron now. We need to pass the torch to the next generation. :grin: My little girl loves...

Gimpyrobb - Thanks for the info. When I get a chance I'll call Erik and see if his regulators will fit my alternator. The shipping on a regulator is A LOT less than the $hipping on an alternator. BTW I love your avatar & your signature!!!!!!!!roflEvery time I look at that cat I laugh! :grin:

Lindsaym151 - I don't know of any M151's for sale right now in FL. Do you know the name of that shop in Mt Dora?

I only trust my pintle to tow my M416. I had a Class III bead installed by professionals to tow my 18 ft car hauler. Take your truck to a reputable hitch installer. The price of a trailer hitch is minimal compared to the cost of an expensive ticket/trip to the hospital due to a wreck/lawyer's...

Hi y'all! The batteries in my MUTT are boiling due to a failed regulator in my alternator. The 24 volt 60 amp alternator is pushing out 37 volts and I can hear the batteries sizzle. :cry: I already took the access lug out of the voltage adjuster and cranked it clockwise as far as it will go to...

Warthog, Great post! A good friend of mine saw dry rot on the tires of my M1009 at an event a couple years ago. I didn't really think much of it or think about it being preoccupied with family, other MVs, etc. I got a little scared when he said the tires could let go and fly apart, potentially...

Try looking into Gulfway Insurers Gulfway Insurers - A Leader in the Specialty Insurance Industry. Great company. There's no yearly mileage limit, no inside storage requirement, and best of all when you call them you are talking to a real live human being :smile: They underwrite for Travelers...

To use one battery charger for 2 12 v batteries in my wife's Mighty Mite, I made two leads from 10 g wire with clips - one black & one red (got the clips from H@rbor Fre!ght). I disconnect the cable that joins the batteries in series and wrap the connector in a rag and secure it so it doesn't...

My parents live beachside near Flagler. I lived with them a while and found that most vehicles have some kind of rust from the 24/7 exposure to salt air. The air is so corrosive it ruins vehicles from the inside out. If you can stay inland, I'd advise doing so. I grew up in the rust belt and...
