Okay, I know this is really about getting military equipment from Point A to Point B, but still, me, my daughter, 2 little dogs, and a trunk full of stuff will be headed to South Carolina from Washington State the first week of August. Granted, my Ford Fusion is about as military as your...

So guys, Thinking of moving about 3000 miles east. Someplace in the Charleston, SC area, Boeing. So tell me the good, the bad, the ugly. Kinda need to know where to look for homes, where to stay away from. Big plus is 30-45 minute commute from Boeing. This is information only. Moving is not a...

So, another question about the M1009. I do know VIN are year specific. The last six are just the number for where the rig was in line on assembly. What about the other? What would be a valid VIN for the years they produced the M1009, mid 80's? I saw these for the three years I believe they...

Are these pretty common? For a m1009? What should I expect to pay for one? Common, meaning will I be able to hit up the local parts store and get one off the shelf?

Just for clarification, because of a craigslist ad, would you say the diesel engines in the CUCV, the mid 80 GM version, are junk? I had thought that these engines, while similar to the ones that came out for civvy use, at that time, were better engines, due to being built, designed, or what...

If anyone is nearby, is going there, or could just check something out there, I'd really appreciate it. PM me for details. And thank you!

Has anyone brought a vehicle from Canada? If so, what did you have to do to get it titled? I know they don't have titles up North, so how do you get it titled down here? How do you transport it over the border?

Well, it did it again. The cable on my m101A2 decided it didn't like being on the pulley wheel. This is for the port side parking brake. For when I do get around to removing the surge brake system, I do plan on keeping the parking brakes, so what is an easy fix to keep this thing where it needs...

I saw this, through a Facebook page I'm subscribed to. Kinda neat for your not so run of the mill landscaper... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh50Y0vAVOI

Are these like the GM CUCV and all the same, or are they unique to the individual truck? Yes, I did do a search... Stuck keys... Other vehicles... Nothing on ignition keys....

Okay, so I see many different Dodge trucks of the mid 70's there, but what are the designations? I've seem M880 and M882 and I think I saw an M886.... Basic pickup? Shelter carrier? Ambulance? (I know where there is one for sale local to me) And so on...

Okay, before yesterday, I thought this was a term for the ammo carrier trailer just because all the ones I've seen on line didn't have fenders, and therefore, looked like chariots. Well, I found one on 7/6 and went back to take a better look and found out, via the data plate, the reason is...

Not trying to step on toes or anything, but Idaho Motor Pool is clearing out all their m151 and MUTT parts....

Does it belong to anyone here? Nice looking truck, if so.

So, yes, trying to do some modification to make it tow easier, but a weekend of garage cleaning, plus this hunk of concrete we dug out of the backyard, meant it was a trip to the dump, again. Decided it was time to weigh it, both ways. Full it weighed 2400 pounds! Empty, with just a spare, no...

So this is my trailer as it sits now. Since I got it almost two years ago I've added the bows and covers, LED tail lights, the wheeled tongue jack, and replaced the safety chains. Plan is to remove the bed, to get to the undercarriage better and have a friend weld an adjustable hitch system...

Is it possible? Or is it all or nothing? Kinda thinking of what harleyhouse did, http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?82301-Rebuilding-MY-m101a2-BY-harleyhouse&highlight= except keeping it as a utility trailer, not a camping trailer. Mostly going to modify the tongue to make it a little...

Walking a very thin line here: A pre 86.5 GM/Chev is a CUCV while a post 86.5 is a CUCV II, correct? They don't seem to note the difference when looking them up. My main question is, between a civilian rig and military rig, is there any real difference in the CUCV II (Post 86.5 GM)? It seems...

Say you have an m101a2 trailer. It has bows and cover and you've done a few things to make it easier to use, LED lights and a wheeled tongue jack. Now, you've been looking at the newer trailers, m1101/02. Dang they look nice. Nice tie downs in the bed. Some even have hardtops! Question: would...

Looks fairly stock and complete. Has tow bar on bumper :-/ Even has the shovel and axe. Runs. Needs brake work. Round figure for value? Not mine. Saw it elsewhere. Checking rust issues.
