    Buying first CUCV and in need of advice.

    Actually the 101 is even too much for a 1009- they were intended to only tow the M-416. The stock pintle hook setup is pretty flimsy.

    OK, after a whirlwind day the truck and trailer are loaded, M105 is converted to 12v and to electric over hydraulic brakes, I am headed out early tomorrow and will be there about 8:00-8:30.

    Identifying trailer.

    Needs more than that- the M1009 bumper and pintle are not rated or suited for that much weight. You will end up like this...

    Identifying trailer.

    Am I seeing that the front has a tailgate as well? If so it is an M104.

    What do running M1008's go for on GL?

    Don't forget to budget a driveshaft- almost every one will have a crunched one.

    Recovering an M923

    Are you getting a known truck from a private sale or dealer, or a GL purchase? The two call for somewhat different approaches.

    Has anyone ever bought a truck without a SF97 or title from GL?

    I don't know about FL, but I have done it in NC. Requires you to document the history of the truck- where you got it, where the prior owner got it, why it doesn't have a title. Get all your ducks in a row, call the DMV, schedule an appointment, they inspect it all and photograph VIN data...

    Tried the $35 WalMart LED light kit yet?

    I built a use the wireless lights for when I do recoveries and towing. That makes it super easy to install and move between trailers and vehicles in tow. It works great, but for bigger/longer trailers or towing something like a CUCV I found that using and extension to move the transmitter up...

    I just got 2 of the field sinks, one of the ones with one plastic basin and one with the double vinyl basins. Both are brand new, can run from 110v or 220, have foot operated pumps that include a heating element. $200 each, great for 109 camper conversions.
