    My First CUCV

    I used the new wire ends on my m1008, most of my original ends were worn out and loose anyway. The ends work well, and I have been running the 60gs for two years with no problem. If you need to purchase the right size wire ends you can get them at any auto parts store.

    I have a 1984 M1008 with a receiver hitch mounted to the bottom of the bumper. I was wondering what other people have towed with a similar setup? Has the bumper bent or the hitch broken off?
