My first CUCV M1031, My first SS post
Thank you My PTO generator is fully operational now so I don't really want to sell it unless you want to pay me enough to replace it with a nice quality 8000 watt diesel genset. I would be searching Pirate4x4 inthe tech section, there should be an NP205 bible writeup. ColoradoK5 and Novak... -
My first CUCV M1031, My first SS post
I would have to think about putting a regular pickup bed or ambulance body on it. I think I may just keep my body and buy a trailer. Not quite sure yet. I am looking to sell my generator setup very soon. When my truck was running, I engaged the PTO and the generator spins. My frequency gauge... -

Skinny is the name because that is what I am...although as I get older, it is getting harder to keep the name. In another 10 years, my nickname will probably be CHUBBY. It looks like good company. There is so much useful information on this website. I like your rig, it was one of the trucks... -

Update on my progress... I bought a pair of Exide 1000 CCA group 31 batteries from Tractor Supply for $100 each. Much better than the $170 each for the cheapies at NAPA. I hope they last... Now it cranks very fast now, happy with results. When I put the batteries in, it fired right up but it... -

No plans to tow anything specific. Just a general work mule. If a buddy needs to pull a boat or work trailer, I've got no fears. No long hauls on the highway, just local. I think I've narrowed it down to a 285/75/16 E tire. BFG KM2 if still available, Goodyear Duratrac, or a Treadwright... -
My first CUCV M1031, My first SS post
The 255/85/16 appears to only come in an E rated BFG KM2 which rocks for $190 each. They are slightly taller and skinnier than the 285/75/16...decisions decisions With a little bit of reading, I think the best option would be to have a small gas Genny like a Honda EU2000i in the back to run any... -
My first CUCV M1031, My first SS post
I've got the TM's and have been lurking through the CUCV section for the last week. It has been much more entertaining than staring at the wall all week with my foot up. Do you have any pictures of your truck with the Duratrac's on it? I originally wanted to do HMMWV takeoff's but have... -

Hi guys I will skip the hokey forum introduction and just say the SS is a pretty cool forum. I get on Pirate4x4 often because I do some custom 4x4 builds but this is my first military spec vehicle. I am looking forward to building my new toy. I burned my foot with some boiling water last...
