    Any suggestions on lift kit and tires?

    I have to agree, when I got my truck and drove on the freeway I knew this would not work for very long. I would go crazy or the truck would start to throw large metal parts through the hood.

    I don't know if I can take the truck serious, it's not even green....

    Any suggestions on lift kit and tires?

    I have found the ride and noise from the tires very acceptable. I expected quite the roar from the tires, but was happily surprised. With the 37" tire and the 4.56 gears freeway driving is now enjoyable and you can talk to the other person in the truck now. Just not sure why I am passing...

    Any suggestions on lift kit and tires?

    Stephen Watson at Off Road Design was a great help for me. We worked through a number of options and he is familiar with CUCV's. I went with the Tuff Country 4" front and rear. I also used ORD's cross over steering that is fantastic! I moved the front shock location up with two ford pieces from...

    Towing a M105 with a CUCV

    It may be wise just to take out the axle and add a new axle with electric trailer brakes? Has anyone every done this with any success?

    Towing a M105 with a CUCV

    I do realize that if I load the trailer down I will have issues. My concern was more for electrical and stability. I do have 4" lift and running 37" tires so I think I may line up pretty well...

    Towing a M105 with a CUCV

    Will the electirical from a M105 plug into a CUCV? Will it work or will I have 12V and 24V issues? Any way in getting brakes to work behind a CUCV? Thanks, -Martin

    37 inch hummer tires on 1008

    I have the Goodyear MT 37 X 12.5 X 16.5 on steel rock crawlers and a 4" lift. I will need to trim more if I get crazy off road but they have yet to rub on the road. Great tire and very quiet for the size and tread.

    Pictures of new 1008

    Great looking truck! I was able to walk around your truck one day while I was inspecting mine that I won in December. I picked mine up about a month ago and have had a blast. Enjoy your truck and get home safe.

    New CUCV

    You will really enjoy the truck. Good luck with the EUC, some get them really quick. Then you get to wait for the SF-97. In the end it will all be worth it!

    EUC End User Certificate

    Got my EUC and "PAID" invoice this week! Bought the truck December 19th and will pick it up March 19th. Delayed gratification is not all it is cracked up to be.

    Starting my M1008

    That does give me some hope, delayed gratification is not something I have never been good with. I am not sure if mine came from the Air Force or the National Guard. Any thoughts?

    Starting my M1008

    What is the best way to check to make sure the glow plugs are working correctly?

    Starting my M1008

    Well I have been reading the forums, learning all I can as I wait for the magical change form "EUC sent to Battle Creek" to whatever comes next. Honestly I won the auction in December and still waiting. But I have learned this is to be expected. My question is what steps should I take if/when I...
