    Grilling Tires.. Mmmm mmmm good

    Luckily you stopped at the light and noticed it. I've seen semis driving with trailer wheels on fire and throwing flaming pieces of rubber until they finally notice it. It could have been much worse.

    CUCV Long Term storage container

    If they sit in the sun they are an oven for sure. Mine sits in the shade just enough. So far the temps inside have been the same as outside. Now they the angle of the sun is changeing it catches some sun now, but the daily temps are much cooler. Checked it two days ago and temps were good...

    CUCV Long Term storage container

    A barn isn't bad if you don't mine mice damage and droppings everywhere. The cover works for a daily driver. The two I have in a container will be there for years. At least 5 They were properly prepared for this. No pics for OPSEC reasons. Other things are in the trucks.

    CUCV Long Term storage container

    The container I have my trucks stored in have 4 factory vents on each side. They vent but will keep rain water out even in a bad storm. No issues with condensation at all.

    Bought my first CUCV M1009, need radiator

    Welcome to the addiction! The originals aren't made anymore of course. I would give a radiator shop a chance to see if yours can be saved. If not, search the old threads about new replacement discussions. Lots of threads about this exact issue. These are old trucks There will almost...

    Oil Pressure has left the building.

    I would still replace the pump if it's original. Your already in there.

    Broken Axle - Outback ( way outback )

    Sounds like terrain will prevent most of the ways to get it limped out. The things that would work on much smoother ground would get ripped off where he's at I'm guessing. Sounds like good practice for a National Guard Chinook Unit. CH-47 would handle a CUCV without even trying. Then...

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

    Bought a M101A2 to use behind M1008A1 Some surface rust and no rot. Lots of goodies piled in bed including two complete sets of bows and brand new camo cover. Had lots of weird racks installed.

    Windshield wiper parking problem?? More unusual that your average case!

    I would bet that a good cleaning and new grease as mentioned on the joints will help a ton. Totally agree on the WD40. Perfect for lots of things. Horrible for lots of things. Cleaned mine and some good lithium grease on joints and replaced unit with a rebuilt ACdelco one. Flawless ever since.

    M101A2 with lots of racks.

    You can tell this trailer was made at the factory with all the racks. Close to 150lbs worth. Lots of holes in it now that their removed. Sideboards are in excellent condition. Was surprised to find the teak wood under the CARC. Looks to be original and only painted twice. Green camo at...

    M101A2 with lots of racks.

    Not bad for $200 Installed new bearings/Races and seals in it today. Also installed new trailer power cord and brand new military tail lights. The only thing wrong with it was it needs a new brake fluid reservoir cap. Will be here Monday.

    M101A2 with lots of racks.

    Picked this up Monday. Trailer stencils indicated it was from a Signal Brigade. It had a lot of strange racks on the sideboards and 4 big floor racks for who knows what. Any idea what these were for? The sideboards are teak underneath the CARC. Also came with two sets of bows and a brand...

    Drivers side front sag??

    Could you post the brand and part numbers that you went with on the bushings? Would be nice to have a sticky of all the Urethane rubber replacement parts and numbers.

    I was actually referring to the fact that the OP did not even know what size engine was in the truck.
