    86 M1008 No lights...again?

    It might be time to just replace the headlight harness with a new one. Before I sold mine, I kept losing my turn signals/headlights. I replaced the headlight switch thinking that was the culprit, but it didn't help. I just ended up ordering that heavy duty headlight harness kit from LMC and put...

    Looking for my M1009

    I've not been on for quite some time, mainly because I sold my M1009. Another member on here bought it, but I've forgotten his name. I was just wondering what happened to it. I'm also thinking I've got that itch to get another CUCV, but in truck form this time.

    Brake pads/shoes

    I went with whatever NAPA had on hand. However, if you want your brake system to work as well as possible, then you need to dig deeper into the whole system, not just the brake pads/shoes. The best brake pads/shoes won't be worth a nickel if a line breaks or the brake booster fails. Replace...

    Will CUCVs continue to appreciate in value?

    I would counter your argument with, after all of these years of people making that statement, how come no one has ever come forward and said these were special cases. Because they were the standard stuff. As for the CUCV's, they are a great way for someone to enter into MV ownership without...

    M1009 Exhaust

    I've got Cherry Bombs on my 1009. The exhaust is also re-routed to come out in front of the rear wheels. I think I have a thread on here about it.

    Part number correction for *better* fitting belts

    Well this sucks. I've already picked up what was listed in the Wiki. I haven't used them yet. I guess I will go back to Napa and try to swap them out to the smaller ones.

    Where to put Speakers

    I went the cheap route and have the following: 1 - $20 box speaker mounted over the driver side rear wheel well. 1 - Jensen boxed shelf speaker, from my old Mustang, mounted over passenger side rear wheel well. 2 - House box speakers, cut in half, bolted back to back, then mounted in between the...

    Tires for M1009

    I'm currently running General Tire Grabber series tires. I can't remember the exact one. I think it's the AT series. Decent tread on them, so I think they will be ok for what I do.

    Finally got the Roof Rack M1009

    That is one clean looking M1009.

    Dually Conversion (For looks)

    I'm digging the dually M1009. I've seen a Bronco setup like that before and it looked pretty good.

    32000 miles or 132,000 What should clue me in on M1009

    I hate to admit it, but I agree with Patracy. The only time I am concerned with high mileage on a vehicle is if that vehicle is not any older than 5 years from the current latest offerings of the manufacturers. If it's as old as these MV's, then I just plan on repairs/modifications/upgrades...

    No Longer a Parasite

    Good job. Looks like you are really enjoying your 1009.

    Introducing Smokey

    Nice score. I'm with you combatmech, I'd like to add a 1008 to my stable as well.

    M-1032e1

    Nice project. Wish I had time to undertake something like that.
