    M1008 Wheel Wells

    I ordered wheel wells for my m1008 from LMC. The old ones were a nightmare to remove, just b/c the screws were all rusted out, but once they were out, the inside looks really good, and all the clips are in good shape. Is there any sealer or anything that i should put in between the new sheet...

    Zero Rate Blocks

    Zero Rate Kit Issues i am installing a zero rate kit from ORD on my m1008 now. ORD is really helpful and easy to deal with, but they didnt tell me exactly what i needed to complete this. This is for my m1008 only, might be different for an m1009 1. You need the U-Bolt flip kit, or you need...

    Registration in CT question

They really didnt give me too hard a time. Things to remember, definitely get the emissions done if it is under 25 years...

    m1008 Paint issue

    How to remove M1008 Bed

    replacing fuel lines is a great idea. It is cold as **** in Ct recently, so i might have to wait a few weeks on this. Glad to hear its not too much of a big deal though, thanks.

    How to remove M1008 Bed

    Looking to remove my M1008 Bed, so i can access the underside and really get off all the rust, then paint the axle and frame. Is this quick and easy, or not worth the effort? Can it be lifted off easily with two guys? Anyone know what the bed weighs?

    floorboard rust repair

    I was just cleaning out my new m1008 this morning, and found the same problem on the drivers side. I only have about 6" of the rail missing, and an 8"x1" hole in the floorboard, so its not too bad. Not sure what i am going to do to fix it yet, but seems like a common problem.

    1984 M1008 finally arrives

    Finally got my M1008 from an auction i won in early Nov. After the auction, fees, and shipping, it cost me an arm and a leg, but seems worth it. Paint is in excellent shape, no dings dents or major scratches besides a torn off side view mirror. The interior is in excellent condition, with the...

    Hmmwv beadlocks on m1008

    I know this subject has been covered alot, but could use some ideas on the easiest way to get these tires on my M1008. The tires are brand new, the rims in great shape, and i would love to use them too, b/c the tires are already mounted on them. So, as far as i can tell my two options are. 1...

    m1008 Sparta

    dr greg, you bought that m1008 from sparta? Is it in good shape? I guess i overpaid, that sucks. How many miles does yours have on it? I was gonna have it towed, but that will just add to the cost, so i might pick it up and just settle in at 50MPH and take my time.
