    CB radio

    I mounted mine on top of the dash mounted radio rack in my M1009. I used an angle bracket screwed to the rack face plate than screwed it to the CB mount bracket. The CB actually rest on the dash with the mike hanging in the original radio rack slot. No mike bracket needed. Only problem is the CB...

    M1008 wiring for dummies, what am I missing here

    Why were the cables missing in the first place? Did the previous owner try to convert to 12 volt? If so watch what cables you reconnect or you may burn something up.

    Buying a M1009, would like some second opinions.

    If you don't buy it I will. They are great trucks and that one isn't even broke in yet. I bought mine in 2011 with 70,000 on it for $2600. Did some body work added accessories and have about $6,000 in it now. I drive it every chance I get "in the summer" and wouldn't trade for twice that.

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

    That looks great. Nice job. Now that I see yours in camouflage I think ill do the same when I repaint. Where and how are you going to mount your license plates?

    Talk Me Out of This M1009

    Photo # 8 shows some shiny oil soaked steel from the engine compartment. You may want to check to see where its coming from and use that as a angle to lower the price.

    Twisted body on M1009

    Rick, If you run it back to Rausch Creek and go back down the same trail in the opposite direction then your body should twist back to its original shape; No?

    Headlights flashing on and off

    That's handy, I manually turn my headlights off when backing up at night to see better. But I don't think I will spend the time to tear down my column to modify it.

    New M1009 Owner

    You may want to check for fuel leaks under your intake.Take off the air cleaner and check for wet areas in the back. If its a fuel leak it tends to drip down the drain channel in back of the motor and drops it in front of the tranny. Looks just like oil by the time it hits the ground. If it is...

    M1009 Rear Glass to Sash Relationship (What keeps em together?)

    As Mg84648;1683118 said. The only difference on mine was I used urethane windshield caulk and the rubber seal that came with the track from LMC. I just let the caulk dry over night before my install. That was a recommendation from the glass shop.

    How to make a M1008 military whip antana work with a CB?? Can this be done?

    A MX 6707 base with matching whip works fine on my M1009. Just had to turn the tuning knob manually till I got a good radio match and cut about 10" off the antenna. Works great for a few miles out even tied down.

    It looks great! Sounds like you know what your doing. I think we should be asking your advise on upgrading not the other way around.
