Leaving from Kansas City driving my M35A2 (bumper number 6025) and hopefully arriving just north of Dayton 10 hours later. Will be flat-towing my M1009 CUCV on a Med towbar. This weekend looks like rain, guess I had better pack my goretex.

You know how they say "Pictures or it didn't happen"? Well it hasn't happened yet :-P For now this is a sanity check, to see if bringing my M35a2 home is nuts! Inside of four days, 14july11 to 17july11 I have to: - fly to Dayton - Rebuild two rear wheel seals (never done that) - Fix a leaky...

I just got done replacing my axle vents with rubber lines. Next step is to check and repack bearing that have been washed out by 90w gear oil. Anyway, I took some pictures along the way and the mod was "easy" to do if you are small enough to sit under the truck and wiggle in around the rear...

No I didn't repaint anything. I used an M35a2, and here is a mini story attempt to describe it. Nothing fancy, just a road trip in a deuce. Back in early May, I started out near Lawrence KS, and drove, and drove, and drove..... to Ohio. It took about 18 hours of traveling, and about 25 days...

I've got an older truck, that has been updated over the years... Currently it is wired up with a (Broken) ether injector. The little sensor snapped off, I guess I should just hot wire it now. However, I pretty sure it also has a flame heater. It has the little high pressure pump on top of the...

The good: Yea! I won a M101 trailer in Oklahoma City, and the EUC cleared! :grin: The bad: On the same day, I also blew out the torque converter (and probably the tranny) on my CUCV. Now I have less than two weeks to walk down their and pull my trailer out... like a rickshaw! (its only a...

What exactly do the surge brakes look like? I've been eying M101 trailers for a while now, and its starting to bug me, that I can't pick out the difference other than looking at the wheels. Is it related to the boxes on the hitch? Like the one pictured below. Or are they some sort of do-hickey...

Yes I replaced the bulb(s)... So, after many days of wandering the SS site looking at Alternator threads, and studying the TMs and FMs. What exactly is happening if the GEN 1 light doesn't come on at start up (or ever for that matter) I'm curious since I roughly understand how to fix the...

Ah, CUCVs and electricity the two should never have been mixed. Anyway yesterday I went down to look over my 'new' M1009 down in Lebanon MO. The site employees were fantastic, and offered their 1008 for a jump but also offered to help get the old girl running! If you ever have a choice these...

Title says most of it. I managed to buy a M1009 from the forestry service. And since it doesn't run, was hoping to flat tow it home on Monday. Great plan, except none of the 'U-haul like places' seem to rent tow bars anymore. So I figured I would ask here, before buying one. Trick is I...

Howdy, I've gone from lurking to buying a M1009, and figured it was high time to join the forums. So far this place has been a great resource, although the size has made the search function fun to use! See you around... maybe sooner if I can borrow a Towbar real quick, Steve
