I do enjoy being able to work with my kids at real things that hold meaning to our lives. I have had the good fortune to work with many great camera people who lives revolve around the outdoors also. Most often I travel with one camera guy and we travel like two normal people just he's filming...

Good idea - that seems like a much better idea than trying to route reverse drive lines and u-joints to a front mounted winch. Can get pumps and lines etc. if I look around. Thanks, Stan

I had been trying to think about ways to mount a winch. I've had winches on the front of trucks before (my last truck had an electric one) but this PTO faces backwards. Sure be nice to utilize the PTO. Stan

Couldn't believe my luck of finding a good condition truck pickup bed at the town dump (lots of trucks there but most pretty beat up) but when I measured the bolt holes etc and it seemed to be the same mounting as the CUCV maintenance box I was even more happy. In the show My son Joe and I...

Got the greatest kick out of JunkYardJohn's comment. I was actually also laughing to myself reading it. With no disrespect to our military who I hold in greatest regards. I realize some do not like to see the trucks cut into, much like our flag . Hope I'll be forgiven though as I love the...

Actually springs have not been changed out. From pictures of good springs and info on this forum I am sure mine are weak and the plan is to absolutely switch them. Got a lot of things on my plate right now but the truck is fun to work on and would like to get to it. Right now my glow plugs are...

Got this picture right off the Discovery channel Yukon Men Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/YukonMenTV/photos/a.456646187789870.1073741828.441403812647441/963845320403285/?type=3&theater So CUCV will be on this Friday at 8/9 pm for sure. Again sorry for false alarm last Friday. Stan

I am sorry for a kind of false alarm on the CUCV truck being in Friday night show. We never get to see the show beforehand and I thought the last episode it would start to be in. Sounds like it will start in next Fridays one though from the previews someone saw. I actually missed the last...

Rustystud The reason many ( about 50%) do not want the road is because trapping and fishing and hunting spots will get increased pressure on them. Fall moose hunting wherever there are roads is pretty incredible to see. Trucks all along the roads and ATV's getting offloaded etc etc. It will be...

The military equipment belongs to the City of Tanana and some owned by the Tanana Tribal Council. They get priority at bidding from the government and that is where my truck came from originally but no one could get it going so they put it up for local bid. It took some fixing as people tried to...

I mentioned that I would post when the Yukon Men (Alaska Reality show) show would be airing the episodes that a CUCV would be shown. Never know just what will be shown even though I'm on show but should have on the buying, fixing up and using of a CUCV to do a couple of heavy duty things. So...

BTW, you may have already answered this, when is your show going to air? Novacainefix Network announced more episodes this spring at close of last season. Not sure when yet but will announce on this forum as my CUCV may be part of the story and people here may get a kick out of seeing a CUCV...

Thanks Everyone - These pictures are at a level angle as German suggested but sounds like they are probably sagging too much from your posts. Thanks for the links to decent springs. I'll definitely be getting new ones just want to get good ones when I do. Just want to say again that this forum...

Been doing lots of fix up work on my M1031 and now considering the front springs. What you think about the sag. Read many of the threads on sagging fronts and how just the age does it but not sure how bad it really is or if it is. Checked the shops in the closest city of Fairbanks up here and...

I'll post it when then announce the air date. Stan

CUCVUS The Yukon is a large river and while some gets beached along the shores often the best way to get lots is to go out in the current above where you want the wood to land by boat and cut the stumps and roots off by chainsaw and tow it to shore. All the firewood is white spruce but we haul...

Hauling trap cabin shack walls out in the hills and hauling firewood off the banks of the Yukon River earlier this winter. Stan

I was in your place this fall when I was bidding on a M1031 Maintenance truck. Got it and had to put it to immediate use (other truck of 25 years finally had enough) so did not have all the time I wanted for working out the bugs gently. On the larger tire issue I needed some more clearance for...

It's ok. What's the plane for the box? Are you going to hook the generator to a small engine ? Or whats the plan? The maintenance box is being used as a cache. The generator and electronics looked real good and I took big stuff out carefully thinking I might find someone who could use it and...

89489]Is your weather going all funny and squirelly up your way, or is it pretty much they way it's always been for you all (you know +/-)? Driest summer and record fires in Alaska and then rain all fall and glaciering everywhere right now from all the water in ground. So starting to look like...
