It was the bracket that people were mistaking for the gas cap (or I guess I should it should be the gas cap door?). On my truck the military installed a HUMVEE antenna bracket that's very boxy that's just behind the gas cap door, so when you are driving directly behind from the driver can only...
I got an antenna for my truck. I installed the base, this way people stop telling me my gas cap is open while I am driving. I am not sure yet weather I will permanently be leaving the antenna portion attached or just occasionally put it up for show, since if somebody wanted to, it is real easy...
Do you happen to have or know where to find a picture of the second part? I kind of curious what it looks like. Now I wonder when it was installed, to bad these old vehicles cant speak. Maybe my truck did not have a radio, until it was possibly prepped for the Gulf War so they just grabbed a...
While it looks sort of like the M38A1 antenna Bracket, it appears that if it were a M38A1 antenna bracket, the side with the reflector should be open as well as much smaller in order to match the shape of the M38A1 antenna bracket. The hole pattern does not appear to match up, and at least based...
For a while now I have been thinking about getting an antenna for my truck, just for show. I figured by installing the antenna people would stop trying to flag me down to tell me my gas cap is open, and it would look cool. So the past couple of days I have been looking into what the proper...
I am going to say it is probably because he was driving behind your motorhome the whole way. The motor home will reduce the drag for any vehicles that are following, so they don't waste as much energy trying to push through the air resistance, which in turn means it take less fuel to propel the...
I bought my M1009, back in 2009, and have been using it as my daily driver ever since. It occasionally breaks down but as long as you are mechanically inclined it's generally pretty simple to fix. I have put about 45,000 miles on my truck so far. If you can keep it at 45-55 gas mileage is...
I had ben getting vibrations in my truck over 25 MPH and occasional squealing noise when beginning to accelerate (that was rapidly becoming more and more common), so I was working my way back from the engine to determine what it was. I was thinking If I disconnected the drive shaft I could let...

Here are a couple of videos from the rally. They are 3d videos for thos of you with the capability to view 3d videos. If you do not have that capability than if you click the "3D" button at the bototem bar of the video you can turn of that view if it automatically starts in the 3D View. ALso you...
I was changing the oil when I noticed this plugged rubber hose that at the bottom was partially broken. it's held in place by the same bolt as the upper radiator hose. Does any one know what it is suppose to be for, and if it is something that is fine being plugged? Edit* I am not sure if that's...
This is what I did for a cup holder. It's cheep, effective, no permanent alterations, and takes all of 2 seconds to do. You will want tie the two sides together because of the slight angle, the weirder shaped 20 oz bottles, or extra large /tall cups could fall out otherwise.
Well If any one has an antenna for a CUCV I would be interested, even if it is just the base of the antenna. It gets kind of annoying when you have people that wave you down to tell you your gas cap is open. I figure with the bas there if not the whole thing people will stop mistaking it. and if...
