    m818 recovery ---Done and Home

    Congrats on the recovery. Sounds like you plan and it paid off. Also looks like you have a cool MV collection.

    Troop Seats Refinished

    Nice to see your truck getting back to its military glory. I'm guilty of modifying everything, so I can't fault anyone, but soon it will be hard to find one that looks original. Nice work![thumbzup]

    Looking for a driveshaft M1008

    Just for info anyone looking around NJ, I used a shop called Mr. Driveshaft. He was good and reasonably priced for re-tubing and balancing a shaft.

    4x4 CUCV Preparations

    Doh!:roll: Not sure how I missed those vids! Reading comprehension owns me. Nice though. I never get tired of those types of vids. My 3 yr old loves them too.

    4x4 CUCV Preparations

    TCUCV, I was bummed not to see you make the ledge in the vid.;-) Thanks for posting. Looks like great wheeling. I'd love to get out that way someday for some trails.

    Recovered my M35A2

    haha. I didn't check mileage but I think I was getting about 8-10 mpg

    Recovered my M35A2

    Yeah I was pushing it pretty hard weight wise. My superduty only has a 5.4L but it gets the job done. The 6 speed and 4.10 gears help.

    Recovered my M35A2

    Well, I bought an M35A2 hoping to do a Bobbed Deuce project. Well, I certainly got the project part right. I think this one will be my parts donor. Towed it about 150 miles back to NJ. I had some other stuff on the trailer too. 1 deuce winch, 3 generators and 5 CUCV axles. I stopped at the...

    So you want to buy a cheap truck from GL?

    I've bought trucks from GSA and GL. There is no way I could have driven any of them home. I only previewed some so I planned to trailer them. I guess anything is possible... but based on the trucks I have seen, they aren't ready to go. Good info in this thread.

    cucv price?

    Looks like some folks have gotten some nice deals. If you are looking for the M1009 you'll certainly save $$. The M1008s value is driven up by the axle value (like Cheif_919 said) and it seems everyone likes the M1008 for cargo duties. Around my area, a M1008 ready to jump in and drive seems...

    72 M35A2 Recovery

    Man, that stinks. Although if you sold your bike, you would be in a nice position to pick up another deal. Not sure what the bike is worth but I have seen nice working deuces around me for $5-6K sometimes less. I'm picking up my first M35A2 Friday. I think its a basket case and may be a...

    Eaton Locker for Dana 60 Front Axle

    Depends on your definition of messed up. Its stock Jeep CJ steering trying to turn 35" tires. The problem is not really the steering but that the jeep sometime pushes through a turn rather than the nice handling I was used to with only the rear locker. For the record, I usually don't wheel...
