Waiting for a comment from Lavarok at this point because he is the king of CUCVs.

I just went to Off Road Design and found superb photos of cross over steering and the highsteer system which answers a lot of my questions about those particular modifications. Now I have to pick out the proper amount of lift for my truck and go from there. Off Road Design has the best photos...

That's great info about the expectations of the 36's at highway speeds. I will probably do the lift and use the H1 rims & tires when off-roading in muddy conditions. My friend Lavarok bought some great road tires for his M1008 which fit on the srock rims and are slightly taller than what came...

Hey Kenny! She wants to move up this way and I am all for that! She's a singer and wants to work at one of the religious theme parks in Orlando - also teaches piano but presently an insurance agent near where she lives. I told her I would help her move with the deuce and an M105A2 trailer...

This is my beautiful cousin Lynne Spotts visiting from Palm Springs Florida. Her first time in a military vehicle. I did a real short video of Lynne just before taking her for a ride around the block. Her son and daughter enjoyed their ride as well - also their first experience in a military...

KENNY!!!!! Are you putting H1 rims on your M1008 too? Let me know where you obtain all of your lift kit parts and spacers because I really do not know where to begin. I am constantly taking notes from all the threads about the subject but really no further along than when I first started...

Thanks to all for the info that will be of great use to me very shortly. I really appreciate the detail that Allrevup provided and 86M10086.2L, nice truck you have! I knew I could get by with less than a 6" lift and that's about what I want for my truck. Thanks to the photos of your Blazer...

I have a set of those that I want to put on my M1008 as well but still confused about some of the modifications required for the application; things like crossover steering for starters - I would love to see photos of crossover steering in addition to sources for this setup. Cutting my fenders...

I just finished installation of a new filter block on my M1008 and made a video of the difference between the replacement filter base and the original filter base that came when the truck was new. After reading through several posts in this thread I now realize how useless my video is and will...

That makes sense! Thanks for that info. Sounds like a major modification but probably worth the effort.

What is "cross over steering"? I keep seeing this in threads relating to lift kits but still have no idea what this is. Getting ready to lift my M1008 6" and looking for all the information so that I don't screw up. Any threads showing the project from start to finish? I really want to get...

I am adding to this thread because I think there is a possibility that I might have placed and M880 cargo cover on my M1008. The cover is brand new and I have had it in the garage for years and completely forgot about having bought it from and Ebay auction. It was listed and described to be...

Lavarok's newest addition to his motor pool now has troop seats. He was fortunate that I had three sets so parting with one was not too bad.

The Ford had pretty big tires on it but not sure if they were for mud. It also had a very loud turbo (the truck was diesel) and all kinds of power but no traction. This was not in Canaveral Groves - never been up that way but have heard things can get bad in there too. I have been to Suburban...

No effort whatsoever! I wanted to be sure the I wouldn't get stuck because of the lack of trees around the immediate area to latch onto. The tow rope behind the Ford snapped when I started pulling the Ford out. He had his truck running and all four wheels were turning while I was bringing in...

Here's the short video of the Chevy almost on dry land again:

A Ford and a Chevy were mudbound in a Melbourne Florida swamp area and I managed to get them out with my trusty old 1968 Kaiser Jeep M35A2C with winch. I'll post a link to the video in this thread so you can see the Chevy coming out of the water.

Mike Hatfield of "MD Carriers, Inc., based in Ringgold Georgia delivers two more superb M35A2Cs to Lavarok's Motor Pool in Palm Bay Florida. This is the second time Mike Hatfield has delivered deuces to this location and each time he has been on time with no damage to any of the trucks. His...

That's pretty neat! It's a shame about the one just sitting in Powder Springs. I hope it did not get submerged during the flooding a few days ago. Powder Springs was mentioned on the news but I have no idea whether it was affected by the flooding. I would love to see that restored bus up...

I looked at the photos in the third hyperlink and the seats in the truck being restored look very much like ones that are being offered for sale on Craig's List in our local area: Vintage Rat Rod Bomber Seats - aluminum WWII?
