    Reliable EMP proof bug out vehicle options

    Bicycles are brutally dependable for such an event. Unless you have your own fuel supply and hand pump, vehicles won't be of much value. If you do have a fuel supply, you will likely have to post a century to guard it. Generally, the doomsday, prepper, foil hat conversations are prohibited...

    Official '15 Ga. Rally Info thread

    Hope everyone is rushing plans to completion, 37 days left. Almost down to 36.

    M1009 axle swap questions!

    That is correct on Ujoints. The SYE is a great upgrade on the M1009, especially if you plan to lift it at all.

    tim292stro's M1009 (formerly math1960's)

    No, they were not. At last count, several years ago, there were 4 trucks parked in the back with no front axles. He has long since got out of CUCVs and the trucks are all gone (found 2 in junk yards) but I surely remembered and implemented a few security measures with my stuff.

    M1009 axle swap questions!

    The front axle will bolt right in. You will need to use the spring plates and brake lines from the Oh8. The rear will need the spring perches moved out (wider) and new shock mounts. Another consideration will be the rear driveshaft. You will need to have a new yoke installed or use a...

    tim292stro's M1009 (formerly math1960's)

    All of my CUCVs have the original keys. It doesn't make them easier to steal but it does make them easier to enter. After a local produce farmer had a number of his CUCV field trucks stolen and recovered without front axles, I learned that a few extra safeguards might be warranted. It will...

    Secm trailer

    Oh, I hear you on that one. I ended up getting a bed off an M116A3 which is what I really needed. Add a light frame and put it to work with the father in law unit.

    M1009 Rear Bumper Spare Tire Mount

    If one were to fabricate that kind of carrier, I have a thought that might help. Consider building it where you could bolt a front spindle to the bumper and use a hub and wheelbearings to attach the spare tire carrier to. Not only would it swing effortlessly, you would have a spare hub...

    Tires for my xm757

    Wow, that's great. Now we can expect to see you in GA next month! LOL

    1028 to 1009 body swap

    What do you plan on doing with it? Anything is possible but it might get costly. Mighty stiff and I'm not sure you could load that kind of weight into the truck short of lead bars and the like.

    My wife informed me I can't buy anymore toys

    Haha, I don't have much but my wife is still a little befuddled. I only have 3 CUCVs and 2 trailers but I'm storing an M200 with genset, a car trailer with a knuckleboom on it, a deuce wrecker and an enclosed car trailer. The other day I had the tan CUCV that I've had a couple of years out in...

    My wife informed me I can't buy anymore toys

    Did she sequester the checkbook or the punani?

    Secm trailer

    I am the wrong person to ask this question. If I grow to like something, I just don't sell things. On the other hand, when I grow weary of seeing things, they sell at any cost or get scrapped. I sold mine for $750 and should have probably looked more for $1400.

    Secm trailer

    Wow, that was quick. Another build forthcoming?

    Another 700r4, plus a turbo addition

    A question if I may. Rebuilders here want $100 more for a rebuild of a 4x4 tranny. Is there more work or more expensive parts or just a way to gouge the off road crowd?

    Official 2015 Ga. Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Sounds good I will ask Tim to be on standby in th event it's ready.

    Official 2015 Ga. Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Was hoping to get it at the rally as shipping could be prohibitive. Think it might be too big dinensionally for UPS.

    Flat towing an M1009 with an M923

    This is not meant to perpetuate a disagreement but to make certain that the original poster gets factual information. If the front hubs are unlocked and the rear driveshaft removed, why would the trans and transfer need to be in neutral? The only reason I can think of would be the fear of...
