    Stopped by the NCSHP

    I've got the extra high cargo cover that you can comfortably walk around in. I welded the fridge to the floor, along with the sink and counter top. I have a microwave that plugs into the 110v outlet strips that run down each side. I have a kerosene heater that is bolted to the floor. Just need a...

    Stopped by the NCSHP

    i have a regular passenger plate on my deuce, not antique. I've been pulled over once, for running a stop sign. Was given a verbal warning and nothing was said about weight. However, I do know that the passenger tag is good for 7,000 lbs, and i believe you are allowed to tow up to total of 9k...

    account suspended?

    in your first post, you said you asked how to retract a bid, not to retract a bid. Could you clarify if you were just asking how to do it and they suspended you, or if you actually asked to retract a bid.

    painted my m1008 today!

    yeh i just don't want to drive that far for a bed. as for the cherokee that's pretty unique, never seen a paint job like that. Are you required to have fender flares and mudflaps in utah? I'm just so used to seeing all the jeeps around me with out any that it looks weird seeing them

    How do you mount troop seats?

    ughh, mine look slightly different, and i don't have any L brackets like that. I guess i need to get pics of mine to show. The bottom of the seats (the whole metal bar) is different than yours, it's more of a c channel than an L shape. pics will help

    Mpg/tire size

    well according to that gear calculator that somebody posted, 2700rpm is just about 55. It that a safe rpm to cruise at for 2-3 hours or still a bit high?

    Possible to get a military hummer for 10 grand?

    give me a hmmwv and i'll get it registered in NC. I've been through this kind of stuff before, and deal with the inspectors many times a year. It's not impossible.

    Show me your civilianized M1009s

    yeh that's correct. I was trying to think of what the difference was but couldn't....guess it's time for me to go to bed

    Show me your civilianized M1009s

    well the m1009's come with 6 lug 10bolts front and rear with a 3.08 gear ratio. That is the weakest set of axles put in the full size chevy/gmc trucks. If you go civilian, you at least have a chance at a 12bolt rear, which is a much stronger than a 10 bolt. ALso could come with a dana 44 up...

    Mpg/tire size

    what is the governed rpm at? or will it go to the point where it can damage?

    Show me your civilianized M1009s

    if you want to civilianize it, why not just start with a civilian one. Then you can have ac, carpet, radio, nicer interior, possibly even cruise control and better axles.

    painted my m1008 today!

    whoever drove it did not know how wide it was or how to drive. the poor passenger side has dents all over it. One day we'll get a new bed and door for it; but it's a truck, it's gonna get ding'd up getting used.
