    2019 Portland, Indiana MVPA Show September 13, 14

    I'm going but ain't got a deuce. Will possibly be looking for a M103 cover, some m1008 cucv stuff and possibly M38A1 stuff. In desperate need of 2 rims and tires for one of those. Might be talked into a trailer m100 or maybe m416

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Im happy to get the opportunity. Im also lucky that its present owner will be hleping me out and has answered dozens of questions already. I also have a local guy that does great work with restorations in the IN MVPA chapter I belong to so I will likely use him for sand blasting and painting as...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Well looks like Im ressurecting this one a bit... I havent done anything except agreed to buy one from a member here. Its a 54 M38A1 and... well its rough to say the least. Basically a frame with axles, transmission, and a transfer case. It also has one fender and a grille! So started shopping...

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

    Still trying to sort out the dragging issue and some electrical. Turn signals arent wanting to work. But looks like the rear end isnt too bad and is working as it should. When I jack up the front wheels they dont spin quite as freely as the rear. Who knows, might be a transmission issue at this...

    CUCV recovery kit - recommendations?

    How jacked up are the tires? the one I got that was surplussed out of GSA had plenty of tread but horrendous dry rot that eventually lead to failure.

    After getting the driverside turn signal socket replaced the driverside was extremely dim.... replaced that one, now turn signals dont want to work and its alternating on fiddling with it. Ugh.

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

    Still got more problems to hunt down, cleaned a couple grounds, need to clean more of them or do a better job next go around. Still need to find out what suddenly has it dragging like the parking brake is on. Wasnt like that when I parked it a couple months ago. Somehow the shift indicator...

    Need some advice from the experienced D-max swap?

    Id probably find a civy truck to start with. More creature comforts in place, less to mod on the interior, thats probably the best bet.

    M1008 multiple spare tire mount ideas needed

    Could always bolt one to the brushguard as well... thatd give you 4 spares. One on the brushguard, two in the bed, and one under the bed. If you get a headache rack you could mount one there as well and I have seen some mounted to tailgates as well. But the bed mount from a M1009 is something Im...

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

    Thanks for the channel lock tip. I just need to find time and dry weather to get it done. Also noticed it seemed to be dragging. Think the parking brake may be out of adjustment again.... ugh. Spent all last summer rebuilding the entire rear brake system.

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

    Moved around the M103A3 with the gensets to their semi permanent home. Noticed a newly formed electrical bug. Left turn signal stays on constantly, no more clicks. Is dim/nearly visible ubless left turn signal is depressed/on. Otherwise the front marker light and turn signal dont want to work...
