    My new M1009 CUCV!

    eVERYTHING 4X4 FOREVER AND SARDOT SAID, plus an oil filter. I see you're in So Cal, as am I. The Barstow and Nevada bases are draining fluids by punching holes in the tranny pan, fuel tank, and removing the diff covers-(and not replacing the bolts), and they drain the t-case. so bring those...

    Gen 1 light coming on

    I am having the same problem. I do not have the truck here now. Can you tell me where it was shorted out? Under the dash? pass/driver side? under hood? what wire? etc. Thank you very much, -Dave

    ssgtcampbell77, I am not running the HMMWV wheels as of now. Due to the fact I do not have the D60/14B 8 lugs from the M1028 yet. I am running off the shelf Pro COmp wheels that are 6 lug for my 10B axles. They have 4.5" backspacing. I have read that b/c the HMMWV wheels are only 2" in...

    1984 m1009 build updated Hey Guys, Here it is so far. Still have to do electronics and vinyl kit on the interior. Buy the M1028 for axles, and add a/c and turbo. Any questions just ask. Enjoy. P.S. The interior paint is not as red as it looks with the camera flash. It is the bronze, just...

    4x4 CUCV Preparations

    Hey TCUCV, I know you saw my M1009. No lift with 37s, just trimmed fenders. Go with a lift if you want of course, but it is not needed. No lift will keep your center of gravity down, but Obviously a 4" isn't stupid huge, so do what you want, it is your truck after all. I personally think...

    How strong are 10 bolts really?

    Thanks guys, And Westech, as far as wannabe, I did not take offense to the comment, and I know it was not meant towards me. If you look at my build, I think we would all agree that we don't waste time on builds. I just have to fork out $3k+ for a M1028 and my pockets aren't that deep YET. I've...

    How strong are 10 bolts really?

    Hi All, I ask b/c, as you know, I just picked up a M1009 with the 10 bolts, 6.2 diesel, and t400. I will be swapping the d60/14B w/4.56s gov-lock & L/S from a M1028 when I save a little green. But until then, I have the M1009 on 37 HMMWV tires, and it will see the southern california desert...

    cucv tires

    I would go with BFG A/T. We have used every tire under the sun from full race to mom's car, and we now like to run BFG A/Ts on everything that does not see race abuse. THEY WORK!!! and they work on all terrain, snow, dirt, sand, pavement, mud's pretty dang good, and they are tougher than most...

    Freek, yes, BITD, MDR, SCORE, SNORE, and any others our pockets allow. So, we started the cage Tuesday, here's progress so far. We're just bolting to the cab as this is NOT a race vehicle and will NOT see high speeds. As it gets 20 MPG, i will DD it a lot. I did not want road noise and diesel...

    Is it worth it? Air cleaner and exhaust mod.

    Quiksilver is correct. Less restriction=more flow. More air/fuel=more power. It won't be a massive gain, but with a K&N it will last dang near forever with proper cleaning and oiling. It can't hurt to have it. As far as the exhaust goes, same principle, 2.5 exhaust will be fine. I would only...
