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

[Another Ahab]

12k

Anything less, keep walking.

Good, solid, unmolested CUCVs are getting harder to find everyday.
Took me years to find the two really nice ones I have in long term storage.

So yes, it would take at least 12k for me to part with my daily driver M1008A1

If it was really clean, and in top maintenance, I bet you could double that and somebody somewhere might "bite".

I drove mine to get a milkshake and fueled it up with premium 93 non ethonal gas. She ran like a scalded app on the way back to the house

I already have .mil style tail lights (not chebby style) on my M1031...Debating on if I should get HMMWV buckets and flush mount them...I'd love the look but not sure about the lost cargo space.

I love the look of the lights recessed in buckets but can't swallow the loos of space. There is kind of a compromise. LED composites don't require the bowl on the back. By cutting a square hole, you only have slight intrusion (guessing an inch) and the 5 wires. Looking for a pic I took.

Here it is. Granted, mine is an M887 box but results would be similar.

Got the interior panels and dash pad back in. I am looking for one of the light control switches if anyone can help me out

Here are the pics

This is the switch I need


Interior pieces after SEM paint. The color looks darker in photos than it is in reality




Installed




And here is the kicker



Get some shark bite tubing 1/2" and install on your striker. Doors close so much better. This idea I got from here in the past


Center console is painted and drying for 7 days before install

Here is picture of doner suburban center console. Picture is bad as my garage was dark



Anyone know how to take apart the lock assembly? I have stared at but no luck yet. I need a new assembly

Replaced harmonic balancer, motor mounts, and belts.....Gates 7448 feels loose for power steering, but driver side alternator seems fine.....still need to adjust power steering pump out a bit?

My grandson and I drove mine to the Frosty Boy for ice cream and a shake.

That's a great name for an ice cream shop.

I'm sorry to hear that, CUCVLOVER.

Hope you had a little fun up to the moment that she blew.

Not really no sir.
I was turning from a T in the road and did a little rubber burn not much and when it went into second (had stopped spinning) I heard a little pop and it was stuck in 2nd. I had first and second and nothing else. It would shudder really hard in reverse then it just stopped pulling in reverse all together. The fluid is black looking and not that old I changed it right before ga rally.

Time for a rebuild kit probably some TCI transmissions make it stronger and better than it was

 

[computer54]

Sorry about the trans.. I had to rebuild mine before I got to drive it. here in Nashville I had it done at AAMCO in madison and they did a very good job too. But if you want to do it yourself try monstertransmission and get a rebuild kit from them only 700.00 but you well need to get a Monster Torque Converter for it too. not part of price.

 

[Recovry4x4]

NV4500 time? LOL. Sorry to hear that Chase.

 

[BradL84D30M1008]

Engine mounts are from ORD

Nice mounts,what brands did you use?

 

[CUCVLOVER]

Nah Kenny I'm gonna keep the th400 and later I will be adding a gear vendor overdrive box.

Computer 54 I'm probably going with a TCI rebuild kit and a new converter. My dad has rebuit transmissions before so we can do it. If needed we will get his buddy to come down who has been building transmissions for a long time.

Been working on setup of m101 trailer bed sides, bows and cover onto m1008. It is still a work in progress but wanted to share what has been completed

1. Gimpyrobb for the sides
2. Tinstar for bow corners
3. Amgeneral for the idea and answering my questions related to his build
4. Commander Zout for yelling at me not to scratch his paint job
5. Ziggo for new 101 cover

Great team we have here everyone!
