    CUCV custom bumper

    I'm very satisfied with the price. Went with paint, that way it's easy for me to modify and touch up with rattle can.

    CUCV custom bumper

    1/4" is correct for all the plate. Went to 3/8 on frame connections. Not sure on the pipe in the center, sorry. 5 ton shackles aren't a bad idea at all, very clean mount. I mainly mounted mine this way to place the jaw of my hi-lift under the square stock and let the shackle hand and prevent...

    m1008 w/plow over heating?

    I'm putting a 7.5' plow on my 09 and was concerned about heat as well. I was thinking deep tranny pan also but think ill run it stock first as we've never had any issues with the 09 yet. We are however re gearing to 4.10

    New to me M1009

    Welcome! Those 09's are tons of fun and simple to work on, just don't rush and don't forget the beer. Looks like a great helper. I'm sure you will all have fun exploring in the beast, my boy loves it as he can see everything.

    M1009- from forgotten to restored, my story

    Those floors are looking good. I'm planning on finishing mine asap, one more rocker panel to go and a rear panel. Keep up the good work. Line x is excellent on these once all cleaned up.

    cucv won't start

    I too have excellent results with the AC Delco 60g glow plugs. Won't put anything else in the cucv anymore and they drop right in. But like doghead said they require .25" female connectors. So give yourself maybe an hour or less to do it all, hopefully in your garage. It might be helpful to have...

    New mep 015a

    Nice score, not very familiar with that unit but any running gen set at that price is a score!

    Welding rig I made from an M116A3 trailer frame.

    Sharp looking trailer, I believe these military trailers give you lots of quality for rock bottom prices. I have a couple trailers and love each and everyone of them. I've been eye balling a few m116's but can't justify one right now. But again Sharp trailer

    Just got my first genset MEP-831A

    Good advice. I'm going to ask around at my local airport to see what I can locate. Otherwise ill pull the trigger on a new one despite the obscene price. I've got the generator and don't trust expired ebay batterys so hopefully maintained unit can be had from some guys Cessna lol.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Sounds like the same issue I had when the IP went out. The o rings just started to fall apart and the pieces were clogging it up. New IP was put in my the mechanic and good as new.

    Just got my first genset MEP-831A

    Thanks and will do. These batter's are used on everything from Cessna 182's to pipers and even beechcraft. So ill locate one eventually. Even if I come out $500 I won't loose to much sleep. It will be new and last a very long time. I want a trusty battery on my emergency generator. But again I...

    Just got my first genset MEP-831A

    OK so after many calls I have some info for guys on this mep931a battery. The original battery is a concorde aircraft battery rg-24-15a1 which is sold only to the military and not sold to any of the concorde distributors. It is exactly the same as the civilian available rg-24-15 battery with...

    Just got my first genset MEP-831A

    thanks and will do. Not looking for it to do anything crazy, we heat off of wood anyway. Mainly a backup for the fridge and well, maybe a few lights. Im hoping it will do that. We had a couple of these while I was in and I always thought they were handy little units and figured if I ever saw...

    Opinions on MEP-831A

    so I got my MEP-831A delivered awhile ago and just dug into it. WHAT A SWEET little generator! It's very clean and super low hours on it, im going to replace all the regular stuff and attempt to fire it up asap. Having an electrician come up to set up a transfer switch hopefully this next week.

    Browsing GL I saw the exact same trailer I towed as a young PFC

    there is something very special about a piece of gear you carried while in or a piece of gear you used. Very glad you were able to secure the trailer and im sure it will continue to serve you well. I followed a specific m101a3 while with 1mardiv and bought it when it went over to govliq, I was...
