What’s next? The glow plug system doesn’t work at all. Haven’t started diagnosing the system yet. The 24v system is working properly. There is rust at the top of the rockers and the cab corners are rusted out. The fenders were cut to fit the 37s and they are damaged. The doors are damaged too...

I purchased this vehicle expecting to put a $50 fuel pump in it and have a decent vehicle. Instead, I had to replace a $700 injection pump. I had a spare core IP in my parts bin and I took it to the best rebuilder in the area (which does most all of the local military IP rebuilds). The 6.5GEP...

I started work on the vehicle by diagnosing why they could not get the motor running. My first issue was getting the starter to work. I could hear the relay click, but there was no voltage going to the starter solenoid ignition terminal. So, I automatically assumed the relay was bad and...

Once I got home and started doing an overview of the vehicle, I noticed some irregularities. A pleasant surprise, the motor was replaced with a HMMWV 6.5L GEP motor back in 2010. The other main irregularity was that the vehicle was on 37” HMMWV MT/Rs. To do this, the military put different rims...

I’m starting this build thread to keep myself reminded of what I’ve done to the vehicle and plans I have for the vehicle. When I can, I try to help people on this site with their vehicles, and one of the best ways I have learned how to do something for my military vehicles is simply observing...

Since I didn't win last month's vote, why not try again? Here is something you don't see everyday; my 1999 CUCVII. Restored this one last year to show quality, then I bet a friend I could to keep up with some HMMWVs off-road. It may be scratched and dirty now, but I went everywhere their HMMWV...

After the CUCV series there was the CUCVII which ran from around 1996-2001ish. GM Defense made them and made every model CUCVII that was equivalent to the regular CUCV. I own/owned 3 CUCVII Tahoe models and love them. FMVSS compliant (no state registration issues), AC, overdrive, and surround...

If anything, that would disqualify people from submitting their vehicle. I don't think it would make a significant difference in the end result anyways, because as papabear said,

Thanks for bringing up this thread. I have a CUCVII brush guard reproduction for sale here in this ad. The actual bumper is a standard GM bumper with holes drilled in it to accommodate the brush guard.

Already put 6,000 miles on it in about 4 months.

My CUCVII is very rare. Only 800 were made for US military, 3,000 for overseas. Restored this one over the summer. I have another with the sequential VIN and registration number that I hope to restore by the end of January. I assume people that vote against me are doing it out of jealousy...

CUCVII brush guards came out real nice. I should list them for sale by next week. I only have one available for sale.

Figured I would share my collection of CUCVII promotional brochure pictures. They were scattered all over the internet, and someone saved these 20 years ago on their computer and still had access to them when I asked.

Everything is for sale for the right price.

In case anyone wanted to see a comparison between a CUCVI and CUCVII, here you go.

In case anyone wanted to see a good comparison of a CUCVI and CUCVII, here you go.

All of them are already welded... Shipping price should be cheaper than the HMMWV hood pioneering kits I produce. Also haven't figured out the list price yet.

I've also been working on the new CUCVII. Picking up the new interior parts for this vehicle next week. Had the rear side windows in both CUCVIIs resealed by a local auto glass company. They were the only ones who would do it, every other company offered only to do total glass replacement. The...

Here's my 1999 CUCVII that I restored over the summer. Love the air conditioning, surround sound, and overdrive in this vehicle.
