    M1008 37"tires

    Thanks that's helpful. Everyone loves the tires on it now but for me personally I like wide look. Thinking about putting 36x15.5 on it. My hunting property is a lot of mud and swamp. I should be able to fit them.

    M1008 37"tires

    M1008 suspension So when I bought my M1008 it already had HMMWV tires on it 37" I thought the suspension was all stock but it doesn't seem like it could be from reading the threads I've been reading. Obviously I would guess it has spacers on the front just by looking at the hubs compared to...

    Transmission disappearing fluid

    M1008 started slipping yesterday. pulled over and checked the trans fluid. It wasn't even on the stick? I looked all over for signs of a leak but I don't see anything???

    Keep Military OEM or change scheme looking for advice.

    So Ive only had my 84 CUCV M1008 on the road about 4 days now. It draws a lot of attention I've noticed especially since it still has a lot of the USMC markings.
