So it ran 4 years ago hmmm. I often wonder when I see one in front of a VFW post how many nights it would take a person to cut the welds on the hatches and tracks fuel it up put in batteries and dride it away. or at least winch it onto a lowboy. but this seems like a lot less work.
how...
Man that sounds familiar.
I have had blazers and cucv's for 25 years never had a flat. So on nov. 16 I took my spare out of the cucv to make room for a couple of nice deer. besides I would not be going far from camp. on nov 18 a hunting buddie's ride home left without him so I oferd to drive...
how much diferance is there between the 6.2l from a cucv and 6.2 or 6.5 from a hummvee? more to the point i am shure the swap into a cucv is not too bad but can you use the headers from the humvee motor?
what would a m88A1 go for on GL? I realy could use one to get my m1009 home if I had a problem or to just crush the s*#% out of it when it breaks.
drove one for 3 years in army. You guys think it costs a lot to keep a duece running this would be crazy expensive.
BUT I STILL WANT...

I have three quarts of black and three quarts of brown left from thre cucv I just painted. I put them in new qt. paint cans for future use but cant see ever needing that much. I used less than a qt. of each on my cucv (gallon and a half of green). this is the single component carc from sherman...
I got mine from redstone got it really cheep because it was non running. when i got there it started with a jump and to this day still runs great. also very little rust and no bent shafts. i know i was lucky but it hapens
had mine off all summer also the winshield all glass doors ect. ect. it has been a long summer between this and the race car. I just got the camo started (very difrent) anyway I lovem topless. i'm thinking of taking a top and cuting and glasing a pick up style removeable top for it. also where...
o.k. now I want one insted of the surgery.:-D how much of a preformance gain can I expect. and what are the limitations? and how much beter would I be with a 6.5 turbo? this would be for my disasembeld waiting for a new paint gun 1009.
jrou111 is thinking the same thing as me. ez to make angle iron frame. Just dont forget the plate light. you never want to give them a reason to stop you.
