    Aux power socket/outlet

    Hey Ken, is this the one you can plug in an MRE heater bag?

    Looking for list of recommended tools

    I know I will get scorned for this as lots of people don't like them but I don't travel without a hi lift jack. Not so much for jacking but winching and clamping. They are great for pressing dogbones back on the bushing.

    Looking for list of recommended tools

    Let me add this, along with cribbing, I used to keep some 4x6 blocks in the truck as well. If you get a flat and you are able, drive the flat up on the 4x6. It will save cribbing time and efforts whilst changing the tire.

    How long the starter will hold?

    Was that a Gov Planet video? (Starts and runs). If not the dude likely got a medal for starting a HMMWV that the motor Sgt said needed glow plugs.

    If that number is stamped in the frame, your truck is a 50s Gasser. I see that it was overhauled at Letterkenny. FL is going to want a title if you plan on driving it on public roadways.

    What does the title say? That should have the VIN on it.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    For what it's worth,. Milwaukee has a nice little polisher that takes unlock discs. It was used many times at the GA Rally for headgasket work and such. I've cut my air hoses almost completely.

    Snowing, Power Out and MEP003A running again

    Great to hear Gary. Service her up for the next flicker and flash.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    That steering arm has the tapered cones to lock it. Judicious swinging of a hammer on the side sometimes jars the cone free. If that doesn't work you could tack the nuts to the studs and screw it all out together.

    Setting up to pull a trailer with 12 volt lights questions

    Build an adapter from the HMMWV to the trailer and put 24V bulbs or omni volt LED lights.

    My "Go anywhere" M1010 mobile office/camper build.

    Seeing your rekindles the fire. What size tires did you use? Looks great.

    My "Go anywhere" M1010 mobile office/camper build.

    A person who pays attention. I have not touched the ambulance at all. Some days I threaten to sell it. Still like the dual idea. John over at Hillbilly Wizard is good folk.

    My "Go anywhere" M1010 mobile office/camper build.

    It looks great. I like the idea of the shore power. I've often contemplated the removal of the rear heater and installing a window A/C in the spot. I don't have the patience to troubleshoot that heater.

    My "Go anywhere" M1010 mobile office/camper build.

    Looks reasonably unmolested except half the back removed. The plan b is the end all of 1010 charging system problems. Mine has been done for years without any issues at all.

    CUCV Drink Holder Ideas?

    Certainly. It started out as a 4" PVC coupling. I cut the bottom out of a piece of laminate flooring with a hole saw. The pilot bit left a nice drain hole. They were attached with 2 part epoxy. On the bottom I used a magnet from an old strobe light and epoxied it as well. Works great...

    CUCV Drink Holder Ideas?

    I do have a generic seat console I use as a drink holder. I share the fact that often, it needs to get purged for a 3rd person. They sure work great when only 2 are in the truck.

    CUCV Drink Holder Ideas?

    No.pics now as I don't remember where it is but I used a 4" PVC coupling epoxied to a piece of laminate. On the bottom of the laminate is another magnet. Crude but once stuck, it stays. MVs usually have steel available.

    Chevy 4x4 Dump (K30) Recovered

    So.......I finally got this thing in the garage. Replaced shoes, pads wheel cylinders, hold down hardware, one backing plate, all hoses, all the rear steel lines and the master cylinder. Basically left the original combination valve and the front steel lines which look fresh. Works like a...
