Hmm, re-looked your photos and see a "new" exhaust system? Any details on it? I'm looking to buy a replacement, stock exhaust header back exhaust system and have not found a "bolt-on" kit yet... Seems a lot of 1009s get systems made up at muffler shops...

They look good for gloss, but I'd have to see the whole truck. Depends if you want to stay "pure" camo and authentic or not. If yes, then those Bilsteins need a coat of flat paint too... I kept my '09 "camo" and painted my wheels satin black and painted my new "blue" shocks flat black...

Wow, what an excellent outcome to your project! I bet finding all the gear was an "adventure" by itself... You should win an award for that commo shelter!

Yep, in the Army we call it "hurry up and wait"... Thank you for your Navy service - Go SEALS!!! :p

I dunno, maybe I'm late "to the party", but seems like several "new" sheriffs - ("deputized" mods maybe) lately????

Yeah, don't you love it that chinese crap is sold "on post"... Just like ACU "digital" handkerchiefs made in china that are sold at the PX and Clothing Sales here at Camp Shelby, MS... And the berets... :-(

Thanks Mike - you replied while I was typing... I'll check the set-up you recommended!

Me too meaning I have the mount, antenna base and antenna and would like to hook it up as a CB antenna... Reading this thread, so far appears to not be "feasible" with the USGI antennas that were used on the M1009 CUCVs? Any other experts out there with CB/mil radio/antenna advice? I know...

Good deal - looks like you got rid of an "ankle-biter"... I have a brand new crank assembly waiting for me at home - I'll look to incorporating your securing brackets in it too.,..

I didn't see a price, but IMHO a throw-away, paper-pleated oil filter works best for my CUCVs. Too much trouble to wash that type of filter. You need a parts cleaner and compressed air (I have both in my shop) to get that nice and clean (but can be cleaned/dried by other methods too)... I'll...

Good to hear. Let us know what you think of it (fit, finish, etc.)... I've been "eye-balling" that one on eBay - just haven't pulled the trigger to buy it yet... ;)

Hmmm, don't know if that one will work without modifying... Do a "M1009" search on eBay Motors and you'll see a seller with the correct one for near that price plus small shipping charge (not mine...). I'd post the link, but "that's" not allowed around here...

I'll share what works on my two CUCVs: Wal-Mart Everstart MAXX batteries at 900 CCA and cost $85 ea before tax in TN. These are "regular" car sized batteries and will need a wood spacer between the battery top and the top battery mounting frame to hold them in the battery tray securely.

Welcome Stopbit - this is your one stop site for CUCV info and help. ;-)

On short notice, wreckerman893, his wife and "Elmo" picked up two M101A2 trailers from Redstone and delivered them damage free to my property in TN. I highly recommend this "team" for your recovery needs! :grin: Thanks Richard, Mike

I don't know about the digits lining up theory and unlike civilian vehicles, wear on the seats, armrest, flooring, engine compartment being clean are not determiners of low mileage as these were used by Soldiers and sat in motor pools a lot. Speedo heads are easy to change out too... I had to...

Wow, 45 pictures AND a video to showcase that trailer! Someone is an "over-achiever" at that GL site compared to the "stingy" photographers at other GL locations... That was a nice machine shop trailer - especially with all the "new in the wrap" tools.

Yep, that's true, but my first sentence IS relevant to the other SS member's comment about Porky... "Yeah, I'm tired too of his "minder ways" and "Glady Crabbitt" posture..." Decision? What decision?

Yeah, I'm tired too of his "minder ways" and "Glady Crabbitt" posture... I posted a link to an eBay auction for CUCV parts and he busted my "newbie chops" so fast I got dizzy (didn't know "the rules" back then...)... :-x

... tow dolly won, CUCV lost (too wide)... Just wanted to tell everyone that my M1009 CUCV was 3" too wide to fit between the fenders on my personal ex U-Haul tow dolly. It started to "fit" between the fenders and maybe would if I "forced it", but knew the dolly would not like it. Most...
