I just talked to a guy in texas that has them on ebay. He has had the only reasonable shipping prices I have seen. So I might have to go with him. I just wish I could see them in person before shelling out $300 plus dollars for them. But I guess you have to deal with what you can get. I've...

I've been looking around for a set of HMMWV 8 or 12 bolt beadlock rims and tires for my M1008 for quite some time now. I thought this might be another good place to look. I'm trying to find a set somewhere in the NY, NJ, PA etc... area so I can either pick them up or afford to ship them or see...

They didn't have any there when I bought my truck. And none of the "parts trucks" in the back lot had any to take off. And they wouldn't let me take them off the running M1009 or the M1008 they were selling. Don't think there were more than two anyway. You see them on E-Bay once in a while...

yeah, but you have different tires and your not using the runflats if I remmember correctly.

It seems as though I may have finally found a set of HMMWV beadlocks and tires that are close enough to me that I can afford to by them. But before I do I just wanted to ask a few questons from people that have real life driving expierence wth them on their M1008's. The set I'm looking at is...

RE: Trailer Plug I ended up doing it both ways. I made an adapter out of a old trailer plug I bouoght, and I hard wired a 7pin/4flat plug onto the truck. I would suggest That you trace the wires for any job like this as I found a diagram onhere that had the plugs traced out but it was wrong...

RE: Thinking about making an M1009 clone out of one of my K5 fuel ecomony and highway MPH would be my reasoning, that's why I'm looking into M1009's to replace my daily driver and make more of a toy out of my M1008. 3.08's make for a decent highway vehicle. Although one could argue that with...

Does anybody know of a place(s) to get BIO diesel in the NEw York/ Long Island Area? I'd love to try some over the summer just to say I did and to see how well it works.

I know this topic has been covered several time before, but does anyone have the part number for the plug in trailer conector that they have purchsed and sucessfully installed on a M1008 or M1009? I know that the kit for a 73-84 truck should work because alot of the military trucks used the...

well, right now I have several vents drilled into the front and rear of the can so air can easily pass trough the can. I'm trying not to hack up the can to much. I want to preserve the look of it as much as possible. That being said I will be installing some guarded toggle switches for off road...

I'll try to get some pictures of the antenna. Just keep in mind for this to work, the seat has to be all the way back. Otherwise you can fit the can in but you can't open or close the can. You would also have to use some sort of outside braket to secure the can. This way you can open and...

I finally decided to be saranaded by something other than the 6.2. So I installed a CD player in my truck. However not wanting to cut up the dash lead me to take a different route. I needed some type of console. But wanting to be a little different I used something a little cooler to make my...

MY buddy is hounding the heck out of me to do staright pipes on my M1008. He did that to his dads 3/4 ton civy 6.2 and said it was fine. I thgink not. Looking into flowmasters or the like but I will be llooking to avoid the dreaded interior droan as much as possible.

RE: I like your color scheme! I've considered that, but most fiberglass tops are tappered inward as they approach the roofline. And even if they did clear the troop seats, you could never sit in them. Unless you were about 3 feet tall. I understand that you can't roll the side up on a...

RE: I like your color scheme! I imagine the tops are the same from the M1008 and the M880. DO you use your truck for anything that just hobby driving? Like camping or the like? I'd love to get a military top, but I"m leading towards a modified ladder type roof rack with a custom inner top...

RE: I like your color scheme! For mine, I would be looking to replace the forward slope with a roof rack. That would be my "brush guard" for the top. It would also in my opinion eliminate the goofy looking gap between the roof of the truck and the roof of the cargo cover. Trouble is, without...

RE: I like your color scheme! If I'm not mistaken Starlight's is a military top setup with a custom piece of canvas made for it. That's kinda what I want. But used tops seem to be non-exsistant or never complete. I figured they wern't easy to take up and down. Thats why I working on some...

I was out on the beach last weekend fishing and the need for some type of bed cover has become more apparent. I really want a military cargo cover for my M1008. But before I make the decision to get one of them rather than a comercially available soft bed cover I want to ask the few of you...

Great to see your truck finally arrived. Good luck with it. Can't wait to see it lifted and finished.

Nice looks good, I'm working on brazing some threaded material ora nut tothe bottom of one to retain the fuse assembly for the tranfer case lever in my M1008. But still very cool.
