Um.....so....we're pretty sure it isn't a true CUCV-II. Now the question is...what do I call it? The CUCV-1.5? CUCV-II (beta)? M1008A2, A3?

Phil, I think you're correct. Mine must be some kind of oddball. It was a Navy truck that was "retro-fitted" as far as I can tell. I posted pictures of the data plates (door and engine) on my profile. The plates are misleading, since the door plate says the curb weight is 3901, but the...

I bought one from a private seller. It's only the third I've ever seen. The other two were in Iraq. I'm hoping more become available. This one wasn't cheap. My bank account still aches.

Saw your pictures A/C. Daddy like. Me want. I'm going to wake up my wife and have her take all my presents back so I can get those toys! I have to get my HMMWV tires and snorkel kit sooner than I planned.

A/C I hope you have some floor mats that can soak up all the drool. How about I trade you for a spin in the CUCV-II?

Local support Tim/Vinny, No problem. Let me know what I can do to help. I should know for sure sometime after the first week of January.

Howdy gang! It's been awhile since I've been able to get on here. I'd like to see if you still need volunteers. We live in Bushnell, so the rally is about 15 minutes from our house. We've got ten acres so if anyone needs to stage anything before the weekend (or after) we will have plenty of...

Put me down for 20 tickets. I have to check with Household 6 about making it up there. What I mean by that is, she'll be about 8 months pregnant at that time, so I'll see if she wants to come. Otherwise I'll grab my two kids and come up. I wonder if Trevor is the same guy I sold my M37...

Bigger tires need clearance. If you are going with larger tires, a lift kit might not be enough. Fender trimming can help, but if you don't want anything bigger than 35" tires, you shouldn't have to worry about much trimming. Remember to check for your tires rubbing, and that bigger tires put...

So are you taking bids to paint mine, or should I just supply the beer and paint? Maybe just the beer since you have the 383....

I've had both flat tires and blowouts, and the fact is that they tend to happen when they happen. It usually ends up being at the worst possible time (crazy how it knows when that is). :evil: I have two schools of thought on the poll, but first I'll let you know where I come from on it...

Awww!! I don't even want half the stuff you did to yours. But I can see your point. I guess I'll just have to take all this money and talk someone else into it. :grin: Good luck with the build man!

That is one AWESOME rig. I want one like that. I guess that's why I got mine in the first place. I have to start somewhere. Hey devilman, how much would you charge to makeover my CUCV? I'm not that far from you.

Wreckerman, If I were to arrange a multi-point pickup would you consider making it for me? I have two engines needing picked up in Missouri, and 5 HMMWV wheels/rims in Texarkana that I need picked up and delivered to Largo, Florida (Tampa area). If you'd consider it, I'd be willing to work...

I think I'm going to bring mine over to his house and pay him to fix it. He seems to know a whole heck of a lot more than my mechanic.

Ok, so what if you have the same problem......except some guy (not naming names here..) accidentally hooked up the 12v accessory to the 24v post on the battery, sending 24 volts to the entire fuse block? I know what you're thinking, and it wasn't me! But to make a long story short (get...

I really appreciate the responses. The reason I asked about the wheel reversal, is that we have an M1028 out here in Iraq that has off-center wheels that are reversed to give it an "out-side" stance. Are all the HMMWV wheels centered or off-center? Maybe I didn't look close enough, and in...

Ok, so I have HMMWV wheels, runflats, seals, and tires (37.5x12.5x16.5). I don't want to purchase Rockcrawler rims, I don't mind parking outside, and I plan on doing a 6" lift. Is there anything I should focus on besides the draglink boot? Would there be any need to trim the fenders, or is a 6"...

Just my opinion Hey, it's just my opinion, but I think a starter or starter rebuild would be cheaper than a transmission swap. I understand that you're thinking about what would happen if this occurs in the future, but I've never wanted to push start a 6,000 lb. truck. If it were me, I would...

Dave, I don't know for sure yet, since I'm still researching it myself. But a thought had come to my mind about finding something compatible from a dumptruck. I figure they have some mean brakes, and I'm very much an overkill kind of guy myself. I'll let you know if I find something...
