Alright, so I just purchased some used gear vendors that came off of a Ford c-6 transmission. I know you have to buy an adapter for the Chevy np208, but is there anything else that needs to be done? For instance, will I have to buy a new speedo cable? Gear vendors also come with a 4x4 lockout...

So, the passenger side of my M1008's bed has had a pretty decent dent since I've owned it. Is there a good way to pull it out with out removing the bed. Not too sure I can squeeze a hammer in between the two shells. Have you guys used any techniques that work!? Thanks in advance!

I was planning on doing a 5.9 Cummins swap. However, I would like to split the swap up to conserve funds. Anyway I can put a 47rh behind the 6.2. Any adapter plates available?? This maybe a long shot question.

I'm selling my sport bike and would like to play around with different ideas that I can go through with on the M1008. The idea I like the most would be to swap the 6.2 and the th400 for a 5.9 Cummins and Allison 3060 (5 speed overdrive) transmission. Now I've been doing a lot of research, but...

Alright so I just installing 37" run flats on 2" steel spacers. I had a long day Saturday fighting with them. I trimmed the fenders and bent in the wheel well back just enough so the tires don't scrub when fully turned (I have a permanent solution coming soon). However, the inner part of the...

I want to ask this and see what kind of responses I get. A little bit of this has been discussed around the site, but I'm looking for some direct answers to these questions :mrgreen:. A lot of people on here think I'm crazy for trying to chase storms in a military vehicle, but I want to say that...

I just bought my first M1008 for $2300. The odometer reads 39,000. The interior is in ridiculously nice condition, with no rust or tears in the seats or dashboard. All of the weather seals are good. It needs a good oil change, and for all the other fluids to be checked. I have some plans for it...

A while back I started a thread discussing storm chasing vehicles in The Deuce forum section. I would like to bring that discussion into the realm of CUCV's. What are some of your opinions regarding using an m1009 as a platform for a storm chasing vehicle. It seems fast enough, roomy, reliable...

Bought my deuce from a guy in Morrison, TN last week and drove it almost 230 miles back to Atlanta, GA. She drove wonderful, even in the pouring rain! Just started a little restoration work. She's insured and ready to go. The odometer reads a little less than 17,000 miles. Its a soft top, but...

I'm new to the forums and was very impressed with the steelsoldiers website, however I would like to throw this idea/ aspiration out here on the forums. Feedback would be much appreciated. I have always been fascinated with extreme weather, especially when I get wind of a developing tornado...
