    I put Bio in my CUCV!

    I ran a 50/50 mix of home brew bio in my M1009 without a single problem...until it got cold outside. It gums up the filters very quickly.

    Converted van trailer to flatbed ?

    I did this with an M117 trailer. I welded a tongue from an M353 and added a beaver tail to make it 28' long. It pulls nice and with the single axle, it has a great backing radius. And by the way...it's for sale.

    RE: anyone have a CUCV Blazer bumper, or at least the bracke Front bumper or rear? If it's the rear, the shackle brackets are longer on the M1008.

    Lead paint?

    I have my M1009 listed for sale on Craigslist. I'm asking $4,500 for it. A few days ago, some Richard Cranium offered me $1,000 because the truck has lead paint on it. Needless to say, I told him what he could do with his offer and I was not nice about it. Not only was he insulting but...

    Need to sell my M1009

    I also have it listed on Craigslist. And would you belive, some Richard Cranium sent me an email and offered me $1,000 because he said, "It has lead paint on it." I told him to what he could do with his offer.

    Deuce off road shortcomings

    RE: Re: RE: Deuce short comings I guess I was just spoiled with my Unimog. I did some crazy stuff with it. A deuce is a deuce, not a Unimog. Thanks for all the input, I don't plan on doing ANY major modifications to my deuce. It was more of a curiosity thing. Also, I seriously doubt that a...

    Need to sell my M1009

    $150 to anyone from SS that can help me sell it! My Burban is a 1994 and only needs a dark blue cloth driver's seat.

    Need to sell my M1009

    I've had my M1009 listed in the SS classifieds for a while now. I've dropped the price and really need to sell it. I've got way more into it than what I am asking. It is my daily driver and I put on about 100 miles per week. I've outgrown the truck and moved up to a Suburban. I hate to sell...

    Deuce off road shortcomings

    RE: deuce shortcomings John: I sold my Unimog a year ago. Do you have an extra $40K you want to give me for another one because I certainly don't. I do recall driving your bobbed deuce and it didn't have a very good turning radius. As stated before, I'm not looking to modify or take a...

    New Mercedes Zetros Trucks

    Check this out...kind of a cross between a bridge truck and a Unimog. These trucks are huge! http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/24/mercedes-introduces-their-new-zetros-military-truck/

    Deuce off road shortcomings

    Mike...nothing serious going to happen. I'm just curious if anyone else thought of these options. I've had my share of rock crawling and beating on my Unimog for the past five years. I know a deuce isn't supposed to be an "off road" vehicle because of it's sheer size and weight. However...

    Deuce off road shortcomings

    Bruce: No plans for modification, just curious if there is a solution to a very visible problem. As far as the turning radius...I've found that most US military vehicles have a poor turning radius. My Unimog turned better than my Mighty Mite even though it is almost twice as long.

    Deuce off road shortcomings

    Ok...so let's say you have plenty of room. I've seen nickd on moguls and what I noticed the Achilles heel was the placement of the steps and fuel tank.

    Deuce off road shortcomings

    I'm curious since I am in the process of getting a deuce... I've done a lot of off road driving with my Unimog and have been on the trails with a few deuces. The biggest issue I see with a deuce is the location of the steps and the fuel tank. I've seen many a deuce not able to navigate an...
