WOW then I would say they did a stupendous astronomical job. Because I have a few 1984 model CUCV'S that are still all stock wiring and never even had a battery cable end or glow plug terminal changed on them. Lets see the warranty was 12 months 12,000 miles. So they exceeded the warranty by 31...
Have you ever camped in one of them M1010's? I hope you are a midget. I would put a hitch on the back and get a nice tow behind camper. Or get a pick up camper and mount it on back in a bed. That's Me. I like comfort. Not being able to stand up and being crowded in the back with no windows is...
