yeah i see what your saying, but if i need to move i can borrow a trailer. and hauling isnt something i do a lot. Im still on edge about it, but as it is now my truck is about a 1/4 full with my extra gear i keep with me. So it seems to me like this is the kind of truck i would get the most use...

What kind of CUCV do you have? my friend is picking up a 1028 soon so ill get a look at one, but if someone has a 1031 then it would be great to check it out before i buy one.

yeah the loan might not be a great idea, ill look into it see if its anything worth, but odds are your right and i will just save up. And i do know that but i mean it will drive 50-55, which will get me there right? i mean the only CUCV that is highway ready is the 1009 right? and that is too...

daily driving is what im looking for, i cant see myself having two vehicles, just unnecessary for me at the time. I already feel naked without my current truck, i wouldn't want to buy double just to have my general EDC and BOB kits in my second vehicle. Im just trying to get a feel for how much...

Im looking for ground clearance rather than just to fit beefier tires, but a lift may be on a list of things to do, but its not needed, so down the road when im squared away and ive got it reliable then i would like to do it. and for camping, im a make a shelter myself kinda guy, so a camper...

Alight im gonna write this to basically give everyone an answer somewhere in here, and good idea about giving some back story on me, here we go. My name is Joey, Im in Rochester NY and Im going on 19 in September, im in college for computer science, but i think im going to switch to electrical...

Best place to buy a CUCV? So Im wondering what the best option for buying a CUCV, from gov liq or from a owner whos selling it, Possible other places? Whats generally better option? I mean you have the gov liq, which can have loads of problems i know of, but buying it from someone who has been...

i wouldnt mind to get a trailer. on a side note does anyone know what the payload is on the M1031 with the utility bed, PTO and generator?

What kind of benefits? Or is that what I should read up on? Should be able to take one for a drive soon, my friend is driving down to Georgia to pick up a 1028 next week or so. I doubt I will do anything to it for a long while. Too much money right now and im talking as if I have one already...

Thanks guys sounds like most of you drive them daily and probably more than i would drive mine. But highway would give me an issue unless i just drove at 50-55. Has anyone installed turbo or an overdrive tranny? how much work/money is that and is it working well? I would want to do those two...

now is it $1000-$2000 having someone else do it? or is that parts and you did it yourself? Would it be any different for a 2" or 3" lift money wise or labor wise?

Now let me clear something up, I dont own a CUCV, But i would like to. Im leaning for a M1031, good or bad? What you guys like im curious what works for you.

yeah, i mean im not looking to haul a lot all the time, just but enough room to sleep back there if need be and transport a fridge or furniture. I cant seem to find any measurements and im not ready to trust my eyes on pictures, just today out of the blue I moved a fridge today, slid nice into...

Im wondering if I should use a CUCV, specifically a 1031 as my only vehicle, given it will have daily, generic commute use...or should I have another car too. Just wondering if its a stupid idea for that because of reasons i dont know of, im pretty new to this stuff.

doghead that would be awesome if you let me, Im right in Rochester how far a drive are you?

yeah i mean I don't need to use it for hauling stuff all the time, but i want to know i can fit something decently big in it the few times i may have to...like how tall and wide...maybe as wide as a truck bed if you cut it off at the wheel wells? is it an 8ft bed? and is it as tall as say a...

Well i meant, the panel right above the wheel doesn't give the wheel a whole lot of wiggle room, it looks pretty easy for the wheel to hit the top of that panel...or does wheel go up in the panel and sit behind it if it was loaded up or hit a bump...or am i just exaggerating how much room the...

So i'm pretty new here, and new to trucks in general, so bare with me asking these questions. I've been looking into a CUCV M1031, and it doesn't look like there's a lot of room for the utility box to lower down before hitting the top of the wheel, is that true? or is it just hollow behind that...
