    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I just put together the Army Equipment Record Folder with proper documents for my truck. When I had bought the truck the empty log book had been sitting in the back. It's been sitting around my place since and figured I mine as well put it to use.

    It was the bracket that people were mistaking for the gas cap (or I guess I should it should be the gas cap door?). On my truck the military installed a HUMVEE antenna bracket that's very boxy that's just behind the gas cap door, so when you are driving directly behind from the driver can only...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I got an antenna for my truck. I installed the base, this way people stop telling me my gas cap is open while I am driving. I am not sure yet weather I will permanently be leaving the antenna portion attached or just occasionally put it up for show, since if somebody wanted to, it is real easy...

    I had ben getting vibrations in my truck over 25 MPH and occasional squealing noise when beginning to accelerate (that was rapidly becoming more and more common), so I was working my way back from the engine to determine what it was. I was thinking If I disconnected the drive shaft I could let...

    I was changing the oil when I noticed this plugged rubber hose that at the bottom was partially broken. it's held in place by the same bolt as the upper radiator hose. Does any one know what it is suppose to be for, and if it is something that is fine being plugged? Edit* I am not sure if that's...

    I sanded my front bumper hoping to reveal some of the originalbumper numbers. When I had been getting ready to paint the bumper there wassome chips in the paint peeling which I had taken my knife to knock the chipsaway. It ended up pealing a decent sized bit of paint so I tried again to knockthe...

    I used a paint roller with my truck which allowed me to paint it in my aprtment. I beleive some people use the power sprayers, which than if you have a friend with a drive way you may be able to do it there. The good news for me is as of last night when I checked I had found ony a single...

    No I cant. I live in an apartment complex so I do not have a covered area, as well as my M1009 is my daily driver so It is not really practical to garage it for the week or so that it would need for the paint to fully cure. I had done the hood last year to test the paint out, and had lucked out...

    well the good news is that so far today it has held off raining, though it sure looks like it will be some time later today. I was planning on giving it a second coat any way so the bubbles should not be a problem. At least not yet, since Ill probably be facing a similar situation for the second...

    Yes it was Behr Paint I was using. Unfortunately where I am getting a week straight of no rain seems to be rare in my experience so far, Since I have two weeks off from wok I decided I mine as well take the chance, and hope for the best

    My truck Is now all painted except for the bumpers grill, and brush guard. I had been planning on giving it a second coat today but the weather forecast changed and now its suppose to rain tomorrow. I really hope that the rain is not going to mess up the paint, I put on it yesterday.

    Sanded all the spots where the paint has chipped away to prep my truck to be painted Tuesday. I am now convinced that at one time my truck had been painted tan, since As I sanded there was a layer of tan over another layer of green. So maybe my truck was in Desert Storm, or less likley in...
