My new M1009!

[blackhueys]

Well just bought my new cucv about an hour ago. Going to be picking it up in about 30 days when I get bac from Iraq. Paid 3500 for her I think it was fair what about you all? Still has the rubber flooring in it! Tires are good all the way around. Did not see any rust on the rear qtrs or anywhere else for that matter yippy! Now when I get back I am going to have to go out to our maintanance building and see whats out there for old parts already got the ok from the chief. Here is a pic. Yes that one tire is going to be getting flpped around! and yes the hood closes all the way as well.

Welcome back to the US in a few days!

Nice ride. Should be a fun job personalizing it.

I think I am going to leave the paint like it is not sure though we have a full CARC paint shop and the painter there has been painting for years. He is trained on digital camo like the uniforms as well maybe I will do a digital paint job wont cost more then the materials and my time.

Hope you have a safe trip back! Looks like a nice truck, you should be very happy with it, I love mine. Welcome to the madness of owning a CUCV lol....

That dealer is a good guy. They also have a store in Castle Rock. Thanks for your service. Jim

I like it.... get tired of it... maybe my driveway needs three! Thanks for your service, glad you are coming home. Glen

Here is what is on the doors I am going to leave it on. Good to here that the dealer seems to be good always get a little bit nervous when I buy without seeing something but I had a good gut feeling about this truck. Was wondering about the side windows are those stock?

 

[LTWVARNG]

They're not stock, but since the cucv is essentially a civilian vehicle anyway, many were modified to meet unit specific needs.

 

[blackhueys]

OK then sounds good I think that these windows are a better deal any how as I will be able to open them up by the looks of it. Any good suggested places on;line to get parts from? Also what would be needed to install HMMWV rims as I can get some for free. Over here there are some 1008 s with them on but they look like they rub some. Lots of good info on this site glad I found it. Here is another pic for you all.

M1009 is six lug wheel, it would take some work to fit the HMMWV wheel. My understanding is the M1008 just needs a spacer in the front as it is already an 8 lug hub. Great looking rig!!

 

[jbingvtx]

has anyone ever cut out and changed the centers on the HMMWV wheel? I think they would look great on there but it seems like it would require difficult mods to fit them.

 

[blackhueys]

Oh I see thanks. Yes I have heard of people cutting out the middle and rewelding it back in flipping it around etc. Does Anybody know where I can get a new seat cover as mine is ripped I dont want the cheap one from the parts store but an actual factory cover where you use the hogrings etc. Thanks again.
