    Had an Aluminum top made for the m1102 trailer.

    real nice trailer, I have been watching a few 11 series trailers. I would like to build one up for some overland adventures. I'm wrapping up my 416 build now, and use a 101 for utility work. The military has such great trailers, great top and like it.

    Muffler suggestions for 3" single exhaust

    Oh forgot your question on how the cummins. We used to have a 5.9 cummins and guess what had spintech mufflers on that one too. Verdict after install and 16 hour road trip you ask? One I love that 5.9 and two the spintech was worth every penny. Told my buddy I was so sold on them if he bought...

    Muffler suggestions for 3" single exhaust

    If you want off road clearance, unique sexy aggressive sound and solid construction with great flow (better than Borla) check out a spintech mufflers. http://www.spintechmufflers.com/?ccUser= I had to redo my m1009 when I was stationed at camp Pendleton. The stock set up was leaking really bad...

    M1009 Rear glass replacement...

    I love the tailgate idea. Lighter and I guess stronger. The tarp or plexi however makes me less than enthusiastic. I think the tarp with the clear vinyl would be easier and cleaner. But I just rebuilt my tailgate, redid everything to include handle and re lined the glass track inside the...

    Corportate and AAM 10.5" 14 bolt hybrid. Thoughts and advise please

    I'd honestly not have an answer for your question. But I'd suggest ditching the Detroit for a few reasons. You would have a super easy install and same or better performance and quieter more consistent engagement/disengagement by looking at an Aussie locker or Yukon locker. All those are...

    M1009 Alternators

    Not sure why the same alt wouldn't work for both sides. I ordered a couple from rare electric. They worked fine for about a year and a half and one crapped out on me. The thing started whining and smoking so off it came. I keep a spare on had so that saved me. But my local diesel shop located me...

    Rear bumper for M1008?

    I picked up a bumper take off was missing the blackout lights but had everything else. I paid 100 bucks for it. Ended up putting on my m1009 and had to cut the frame back a bit and weld it all up. One of the best mods for use I've done to the 09. But can't say I would have paid a penny over $150.00.

    Just got my first genset MEP-831A

    Well I wanted a generator for a long time and can now justify getting one. Plan to use if for back up power to our home. It's a smaller one but hopefully it will suit our modest needs. Picked up a MEP-831A which I was using in the Corps as recently as 2013. So these guys are still in service and...

    M-1009 Transmission Coolers

    This is great info although old. I'm having an external cooler installed on my truck after reading this. Plan on plowing with this over the coming winter. This should help out quite a bit.

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

    New alt as one from rare electric died after about a year and a half, and rebuilt the tailgate after realizing summit racing tailgate was too narrow. Can't tell you how happy I am to have an easy to crank working tailgate. Also threw I. The towel on electrical gremlins so dropped it off at the...
