I have looked at some but they seem to be even more expensive. I am on a pretty limited budget. I see you can get CJ5s with military headlights and paint pretty cheap but I would like a real military one if possible. Too bad they never put the buick V6 in the military versions though, that was a...

I would be happy with any but my top three are the M38a1, M38, and GPW in that order. The mutt in that add looked good but a little out of my range.

I'm not one to turn down an invitation like that!

Don - My house number is 724 but that email address was taken when I picked that name on my aol account so i scrambled the number. Im just a young buck but I haven't crashed yet, Luckily michigan police dont give a crap about speeding so i still have a perfect driving record. You have been all...

If you can get me out there I will bring it back to the smitten mitten for you, I could go for a good ol' deuce road trip but can't afford my own

You could try the Idaho Motor Pool. Here is their link: IDAHO MOTOR POOL - Military Vehicles and Supplies For Sale They have a lot of trucks in their inventory and its in that general area

Thanks for the pictures, that is some pretty serious rust. I that fixable or scrap at that point?

Both alternators are the same and they are both isolated ground but only #2 needs to be an isolated ground. You can swap #2 with #1 then just buy a regular 100 amp one out of an old cadillac for #1. There are a few threads that talk about and have links to specific parts

Thank you. That is a dangerous web site. I can tell you were the time I was supposed to be productive with for this week just went

I just sold my CUCV which has left me without an MV and I am itching for my next fix. I am not stranger to old CJs and what to look for when buying one but I am lost on the military ones. It seems like most of the military jeeps are either big projects or fully restored and big money. I am...

Paint make such a big difference. Looks like it is coming along nicely.

Those are some good looking trucks, well done

I agree with dstang, leave it 24v. There are way too many problems when people go to the 12v.

Welcome to the obsession. It may not be a boat but be prepared to Bust Out Another Thousand anyway:-P

The improvements are looking good, take your time and do it right. Measure twice and cut once right.

If that is the case I would be worried about a different appendage than my fingers!

The guy changed his mind last minute and decided to pay me cash for my 1009 which leaves me without an MV. Its a little disappointing but oh well, time to look for a new MV.

Even better, it is just bolted in so it pulls right off. Thanks for the input guys. If i buy this thing tomorrow i am sure a lot more threads will be following as i discover other quarks and customizations to the truck.

They are both 6 wheel drive. Not to nit pick but that is different than all wheel drive just like 4WD and AWD are not the same.

Just swap the gen 1 bulb and the gen 2 bulb. I wish my gen 2 light would flicker, it never comes on and my voltmeter is dead too. I did have a charging problem with gen 1 and was able to find more than enough information to fix it on the site, there are lots of posts on the cucv electrical issues
