PB I have reached out to a good troop, he is in dependent on his boys advancement to a playoff final. So worse case he fills in for somebody that does not show :)

Have you bought one yet? Time is wasting

PS: Just drove my M1009 to 73M819's with my 101 trailer to unload my stuff from the M1101 trailer into the M101 trailer after dragging to many trailers to the GA Rally. Bottom line I LOVE MY M1009. Ran great, I was daydreaming about other modifications and upgrades and thinking how MUCH I...

Only after reading Warthog's many posts and studying his diagrams does the CUCV electrical system become simple. At this point after much reading and some encouragement from Warthog do I feel the electrical system is managable. One day I hope to be like WH :)

The headlight relay system is a pretty important mod, if you feel the fuse on the M1009 when the lights are running you can burn your hand. Worse case you fry the fuse box around the light fuse. The mod is cheap if you buy from LMC under $40 dollars. Not the best quality but it works. How...

Where is the Wounded Warriors link that used to be on the main page of the site?

PB can you put me down with my M1009 please, I am going to work hard hard to make it!

As many of you may be aware, the fine state of Georgia will not legally title the 900 series trucks or any military truck that is younger than 1986. I have been working behind the scene with different contacts within the Georgia Government to get legislation in place that would change the...

I am at $4,000 pretty quickly off the top of my head, not saying that all this needs to be replaced but historically I am not to far off. Brake system - $500 Master cylinder Wheel cylinders Hoses Airpack Wheel Seals, wear rings 100 Brake Shoes (If Necessary ~ $450) Fluids (Oil, Gear etc)...

The 6602 gasser motors are rock solid. The brake system would be a hydraulic with air assist not air brakes. The weight is around 22k on these so figure closer to 2 for scrap value. Can you get everything to run again, probably but plan on sinking another 5k+ into getting one running. That...
