    hmmwv tachometer installation

    Outstanding. Going to try this type of install on a CUCV.

    CUCV m1008 bed conversion

    Looks great. Love to hear a little more about the SM465 swap, getting ready to do one myself.

    M116A3 axle trade?

    So, I have this trailer made of M101A1 and M116A3 parts I've been using to move stuff to GA. Long story short, it has a custom axle that has a 6 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern to use M1009 rims. It does not have any brakes whatsoever. I am looking to see if anyone on the east coast might want to swap an...

    BEWARE of Bank of America - now going after MV owners in wiring of money...

    And they wonder why folks want to hide their money in the coal shed.

    Surplus 6.5 Engines from Humvee's?

    If the injection pump is mechanical, it can be converted to 12V pretty easily.

    Anything dealing with this bank stinks of wrong doing.

    NP205 T-Case found!

    Good score. Should be pretty easy to figure out the PTO.

    Tell us about the HID scene flood lights Gimp? Is this brighter than the Grote Trilliant or the Pelican RALS heads?

    LMTV Flat Tire For My Birthday

    I have a host of the Milwaukee Impacts. The Granddad of them has 1000# ft of torque. Lugnuts aren't much of a challenge for it.

    Surplus 6.5 Engines from Humvee's?

    Verify this but it should be mostly accurate. Exhaust manifolds should interchange. Intakes will not. The center mount turbo has the bolts for the intake at a different angle. Oil pans may not interchange either. I remember Stonepicker1 going through that. If you are using an engine that had a...

    Got a new (M275 Tractor) project a few weeks ago

    Dave, you have everything to create your own M48A2 except the spare tire rack which isn't really needed. If you elected to do the 5 ton rack anyways, you could lose the spare tire carrier and add another tank like Ray did. Or, leave the spare and add a deck winch. Heck, everyone wants an...

    Thanks to Microjeep

    He is a great guy. Helped me a bunch with storage while moving one of my CUCVs and a trailer to my new home in GA.

    Congrats on your purchase. That truck has been well documented on here. Enjoy your new purchase and welcome aboard.

    More speed out of M1008

    Westy has 3.08 gears. I'll run mine all day long at 65 but it has 4.10 gears. SM465 is on the horizon for me, it's actually good for a couple of more MPH since it is 100% locked up.

    is this a M1008 Dana 60 front axle?

    I think the reason most folks will switch a 10 bolt to 8 lug is to match a rear that has been transplanted, likely after a 10 bolt rear gave up the ghost. Bigger diameter rotors offer some increased braking as well. I remember when I was an avid off roader with no budget to afford a 60F.

    Hello everyone!

    There is much to glean here for sure. Welcome aboard from next door to down under.

    How many tailgates Mr Gimpy?

    M116 all around trailer... Need a some ideas?

    I just did a similar thing but since it was temporary, I used wood. Mine also has a spare tire hoist under the front. It works great. Etrack could be helpful. You could put some on the floor and sides to secure engines and such. If nothing else, recessed tie downs. My steel topper has...

    fumoto valve

    They should call them "Fumunda" valves as they keep you fumunda the truck too long. Not sure I'm ready for one yet.

    Does the M1008 have a second fuel filter???

    I think 82-83 trucks (not CUCVs) had 2 filters.
