    brought home a small mv

    That is small enough to drag to the GA Rally. I like it!

    Looks good Cory and sorry in advance but you are going to be Stanley more often than Cory. LOL

    On the fence about a cucv

    Let me add this. This is a forum for ownership of MVs. Naturally, when things are going great, you won't hear much from folks. There are a ton of MVs working daily out there. IT's just that here is where MANY folks go when they do have problems. Look at it as kind of like a doctors office...

    Pictures of my first MV. 1953 M35A2 REO Deure & Half

    That is a real nice looking truck and it surely enhances the neighborhood. Congrats.

    Moving 20 ft Conex containers

    Many manufacturers make them, Fontaine is one. Why is that important on your build? Use the term shipping container trailer or intermodal in your searches and you should find a voluminous amount of info. http://buffersusa.com/HTML_Site/menu3.html

    On the fence about a cucv

    Mine seem to be pretty dependable and not too demanding. The ambulance is soon to go as it no longer fits my needs.

    move to north carolina

    That's a pretty substantial hike. I'd guess between 400 and 450 miles. Worth the ride though, no finer folks than those at White Owl.

    working on a M1031 few questions on the gas driven generator

    Perhaps check the contact points. The Wisconsin engine is durable but the points do go funky after sitting.

    move to north carolina

    The area is fabulous, you will love it. I took this pic the other day in Hayesville NC. The wife and I were just out for a Wednesday drive.

    M1008 and M1009 Owners... Roof Rack Possibility?

    The bed rails are not significantly weaker. Statically, the rack would be fine up there. There are pins that locate the top which may occupy the same real estate as the rack though.

    Rear fuel tank m1008

    I've done exactly this before. Instead of setting up drawing fuel from 2 tanks, I used the right side tank as a transfer tank to the left side. Added a second line and could pump to other vehicles (gensets) as well.

    Will Circular Runways Ever Take Off?

    Circular airports will never take off, they lack an adequate propulsion system. For my Christian flight aficionado friends, one of my favorite pastors here! http://www.keylife.org/player/dream-on

    2017 Denton Buy Sell Trade

    Doing my best to make it up for a day. Just throwing this out there, I have outgrown my need for the M1010 ambulance. Before I whack the bed off and do a flatbed, it there anyone out there that might want to trade a difference CUCV for an ambulance?

    Jeeperjoe's build thread

    Please don't dispose of the isolated ground alternators if you have them. Folks are always searching for rebuildable cores.

    CUCV 6.2 K5 Trailer wiring?

    All CUCV trailer wire supply is 12V. There are 3 good options. One is buy an adapter. Make sure it's from miltary vehicle to civy trailer, not vice versa. The hoppys plug in adapter sounds good too. Be certain it is for a 1984 blazer regardless of the year of your truck. Third is build a...

    Living with a HMMWV

    This is exactly the draw of military trucks for me. A purpose built machine that the lowest possible consideration was the comfort of it's operator. My only gripe with most of them is a lack of effective windshield wipers.............................on the inside.

    Florida off road only

    In my honest opinion, unless something comes down the pipeline from the admin, you will never be hassled. Not drawing attention to yourself is always key. Just because you can legally cruise down the road with your gas fired ma deuce on the ring, doesn't mean you should. Every one of my...

    Florida off road only

    This is exactly the reason I mentioned beating the rap, not the ride. Sure, you will likely prevail in the courtroom but for many, missing a day of work for the arraignment and a day for trial adds up to much suck. I also agree there are better things for the Police to do but if it becomes a...
