    possible brake issue (m1009 cucv)

    I havent driven my cucv for about 2 months. Today I jumped in it and reversed out of the driveway. It backed down the driveway just fine. I put it it drive and it wouldn't move on its own. Usually once you put it in drive it will roll forward under its own power. So I give it a little throttle...

    selling an m1009, quick question

    I'm selling one of my m1009. Right now it has a brand new softopper soft top installed on it. Would you guys think it would sell for more money with the soft top on, or with the original hard top?

    M1009 transfer case fluid

    I know ATF fluid is supposed be used in the np208. I noticed a small leak coming front the transfer case skid plate and it was gear lube. I guess the police department that I got the truck from put the wrong stuff in. Should I get it out ASAP and replace it with ATF? I've also go to figure out...

    New m1009 with rust question

    I don't think there's any Ziebarts near me. I can see where the drilled the holes around the doors and applied their rust proofing. On the frame the original undercoating has peeled off on a lot of places. I'm going to try to remove what I can then reapply more stuff.

    Thanks. I just didn't want to buy new seals if since I believe the soft top will seal up differently. Thanks again for the info!

    Weatherstrip question (hardtop to body seal)

    I'm going to order a Softopper soft top on my m1009. Right now, the hard top leaks where it seals to the body. When you install the new seals for the body/top, do they get put on the actual top or the body?

    Prebent fuel lines

    I need to replace the steel fuel lines from the tank all the way to the front of my m1009. Is there any where that sells prebent lines? Would I be ok just running diesel rated rubber hoses instead of steel lines?
