    A question on the daily drivability of cucvs?

    perhaps what i said in my first post got lost in the conversation. I said i hardly drive to work in manhattan from the island, i TAKE THE TRAIN IN. So, really, is it worth paying 420 a month to drive my civic around town and to the station, or could an m1028 accomplish this task? And could it...

    A question on the daily drivability of cucvs?

    heh, i guess ill do the rhino then as long as theres no rust in there already (which there shouldnt be with the ammount i want to spend) I dont plan on driving to work in the 1028 unless i miss the train, and thats an hour and a half i guess at most. Though i may drive upstate, but that might be...

    A question on the daily drivability of cucvs?

    okay, so i guess im gonna go with this petroleum oil type stuff for undercoating. It seems people think oil undercoats the best so ill do that. The place says if i rhinoline the bed itll save me 50bucks, but im not sure i wanna do this on a cucv, opinions?

    haha, yeah i have a glasspack now on my blazer, i didnt think putting an new pipe on a diesel would make any difference. Thanks for the replys ill check out undercoatings on ck5. MY friend lives like 5-6 hours upstate, thats the longest id ever go with it.

    A question on the daily drivability of cucvs?

    oh yeah, assuming i find a truck with no rust underneath, what kind of prep and undercoating should i use to help protect it from that crap around here. I dont want to destroy a mint truck and i want to try to do what i can to protectit. IT will be going on the beach in the summer (and i do wash...

    A question on the daily drivability of cucvs?

    hmm, true, as i said the only issue is that i owe alot of money on the car still and to pay 300 more a month for the car to just sit is insane i think. I frequently drove my truck around town and i dont mind the ride, but thats a k5. Train stations only 4-6 miles away methinks. Plus if i were to...

    Newb looking to get a cucv on LI. Educate me!

    i was looking at that website actually, esp the m1028. But i dont quite have that type of cash right now, and if i did id expect super low miles, no rust and generally just mint. That true? cause then im def interested if so. Currently killing myself in OT to build up funds asap

    A question on the daily drivability of cucvs?

    well i found out that along with the normal unknowns for a 20 year old truck, it wont go over around 50mph, will be loud and it has no stereo. I figure i can buy a deck and speakers and use a whip antenea for the hell of it. But i never owned a deisel, any differences i should know?

    A question on the daily drivability of cucvs?

    yeah i forgot to mention i want the m1028. I dont have the skills to drop in an OD tranny, but maybe some bigger tires. Im thinking 33s or 35s BFG muds on a 4inch lift eventually, but thats down the road a bit.

    A question on the daily drivability of cucvs?

    Reposted from ck5: The story is i work in manhattan, i live on long island. So i take the train in now and that wont change at least for another 3 years when i make the jump from EMS to fire. I work 5 days a week basically, the only thing my 03civic is doing is getting my to the station and...

    1985 CUCV m1008 lift ideas?

    sorry, but 86M10086.2L, you do that lift yourself? Im planning on 4 inches and eventually putting in a winch, let us know how you mount it. /unhijack. Oh i wouldnt go with liftblocks but thats just me. I beleive i was looking at the tuff country 4 inch suspenson lift.

    No, never did. The only cucvs i saw from him were the two white ones he had listed on ck5. I didnt want to PM him asking "Hey, got any extra ones? 100%military please?" HAHA I do watch craigslist often and ck5 so i guess if he has him hes not interested in selling. That or im missing alot. :(
