We've recently within the past few years gotten FMTV's. I have done tons of work on them but there is one thing that I do not understand. Why do they have brake reservoirs and an air over hydraulic booster tucked between the step and the front bumper on each side? My new Wrecker even has it...

Last call for Vote's Ya'll. I'm down by a few and could use the Support of the CUCV Crowd. They must not know there are 3 in the running this month which may explain the low turnout from that group. We'll try our best and be victorious soon and then we'll go for MV of the Year Honors. I've...

I just got 2 more votes!!! One gentlemen sent me a PM explaining why he voted for Sarge and he's spot on. The story of how Sarge came into my youngest son's life is priceless to me. I do know one thing, he's down on the votes in this forum but Sarge will always be Briggs Favorite. That...

I'm locked in 3rd at the moment!!! I need 8 more votes to pull ahead and then quite a few more to keep that M932A2 / M146 combo clearly in my rearview!!! If you're going to Vote for a CUCV, let's keep my momentum going!!!

I can get some from a local MV scrap yard and I'd be more than happy to help. I'm curious to hear how the original ones got destroyed during removal. I've done this same job quite a few times while helping friends and I've yet to have this happen to me but I'm always open to hearing what could...

I picked up a vote today so I'm at 7 until I cast my vote. I'd still be short but I'm counting on the momentum to push this truck to the lead!!! My youngest son Briggs is counting on the CUCV crowd to push ¨Sarge¨ to Victory. A Vote for ¨Sarge¨ is a vote for ¨Supporting the Troops¨ including...

Bump for the morning shift!! I need the CUCV group to step it up in the voting department. There are 3 nice one's to vote for this month but they are all short on votes. That nice M932A2 with the ring mount is killing us at the moment. Smaller trucks have won this thing but a CUCV has not...

The USMC 7 tons run a C-12. Alot of MRAP's were upgraded suspension based on the Oshkosh Tak-4 suspension which would share common differentials and planetary hubs with an MTVR. I'd need to see a picture of the gauge cluster to confirm which family of trucks it's common to. PM me for my phone...

The Caiman shares a lot with the Medium Tactical Vehicle family of trucks that the Army uses including a lot of the wiring and the gauge panel is the exact same. The Caiman runs a C7 Cat and Allison Trans common to the MTV and I believe the axles are the same. The Marine Corps 7 ton parts are...

The half track is picking up momentum. Think about this. Can the half track make it 190 miles each way to the GA Rally at a 50 mph average on his own power? Can it roll down the road without gaining a lot of attention from the local Sheriff's office? It's a Display Item, albeit a very nice...

All who vote for Sarge will receive an autographed picture of him signed by Briggs in person at SSGR-15. No one else is topping that no matter what they offer. I hope to bring many pictures to hand out!!!

Bump for the morning crew!!! A Vote for my truck = A Vote for Supporting The Troops!!! Notice it is carrying some GA National Guardsmen along with Briggs in the bed in the 2014 Leesburg Christmas Parade!!!

All, Vote for my truck and your New Year's Resolution will go better than you ever expected. I'm kidding, I want Sarge to win for my youngest son Briggs. He fell in love with the truck at a very early age in October of 2010. There came a time when it looked like the truck was about to be...

What are you looking to find out? I know where quite a few of these are located and can check them out and tell you what you would like to know.

Kent, See below. You choose which one you think will campaign the best!!!

6,900 original miles on that one. 2,164 when purchased and 2,189 when I first drove it home. Save for a CD player install and new glowplugs with a DH resistor bypass, it's all stock as it was the day it rolled off the production line. Search NOS USMC in the CUCV forum and you'll see it's...

Tossing Sarge back into the Poll in the event not enough people nominate their trucks. He's never won and he's the most original CUCV in private hands. The people in ACU's in the back are National Guardsmen participating in a Christmas Parade. The little man with the red hat is my youngest...

Wish you were closer. I'd offer a bed with fiberglass uprights, bows and a cover in good shape for that box. I like the campers guys make out of the boxes.

I just saw this. I wished I would have seen it a month and a half ago. We run into this quite regularly on these trucks and I'd have gladly pointed you in that direction. So glad you got it fixed.

I could nominate a second friend's truck but I'll play by the rules IFS!
