Sounds like the 86 is the way to go then! It's good to deal with people you can trust. They are getting harder to find these days. I know you're excited about it. I've had mine a couple months now and can't go outside the house without at least walking around it! I guess I got the fever. What...

My $.02 Asmoday, Welcome! I'm too far away to go and look at them myself, but just by what you've said about the two, the 86 sounds better. Do they both have the same amount of rust in the floors? If so, that is not a determining factor on which one to choose. The transmission problem on the 84...

CPF240, Congrats on your new MV! I actually bought mine from an individual who got it from GL down this way, but judging by what I've read here on SS I'd take two hot 750 cca batteries, clean fuel, air tank, tire plug kit incase you find a leak and the spare's no good, coolant, oil, power...

Beautiful! Looks better than new! Do you have before pics, or was it that clean when you got it? NICE !!![thumbzup]

Welcome from Mississippi! Yep there's lots of information here and lots of very helpful people!

Rust repair (kinda) pic Ground, cut, and cleaned out the rust on the inner fender well where an old battery had leaked down onto it and rotted it. I bolted and riveted a piece of sheet metal in place over the hole from the bottom. Not perfect, but the rust is gone and the hole is gone. The...

Absolutely! My uncle was here today and he wants one! It really is handy. You can probably google "tire step" or such and find one. I looked today and can't find a manufacurer at all on it. They are cheap though. but will prolly fit a Deuce or 5 ton tire too. I weigh about 205 and it doesn't sag...

Thanks! The rusty spot on the fender will is in front of the pass. tire, it looks like a battery must've leaked there. I'm already cleaning it up, what I'll do is cut out all the rusted out part, form a piece of sheet metal as closely as possible to the shape there, and rivet it in place and...

I actually bought it at CarQuest about 4 or 5 years ago when I was working in Rock Springs, WY. You could prolly google it and still find them cheap. It's a lot safer than standing in a chair. I don't remember what brand it is but it shouldn't be hard to find. It's adjustable I've had it on...

Also, on the "heat/defrost" slide switch, make sure the cable isn't bent or it won't move the gate that re-directs the air from bottom to windshield. That, along with clogged, broken, disconnected duct work will do it. If the fan seems to be blowing hard it is probably a blockage or the above...

I don't know if this will work for everyone else, but when I hit the "SS" on my desktop and the spam or whatever that crap is pops up, I close it and hit "SS" again. Steel Soldiers always comes up on the second try. Takes about 4 seconds longer but it works. I'm still new to this site and don't...

Welcome! Welcome back, and thanks for your service to our great country! Hang in there on the hunt, your MV will show up.

Finally got some CUCV time and got 'er in the Shattered Socket. Had a small fuel leak on the #8 cylinder. It ended up being a rotted fuel line. Removed the batteries not only for more working room, but also to clean the area up a bit and inspect. Found that the batteries are both '09 models...

I just did a google image search......there IS a camo segway, looks like it's rock-crawlin'......and some with guns mounted....... funny stuff but I'd still rather buy TWO nice deuces for the price of ONE of those!

Cool !! Nice recovery! That's dedication! I'd be the same way cause I SOOOOO got the fever!

Very nice, and very well-planned! ....subscribed.

M52 That's a clean looking rig! When I was in the MSARNG in the early 80's we had M52's and M818's. I drove both and enjoyed both......I WILL graduate to a 5ton asap (from CUCV status, that is. My wife wants the 1009 so it kinda opened a door a little wider for me to purchase another MV for...

Looking great! The top of MY cab looks like someone did a rain dance on it or used it as a scaffold. Gotta get those dents out somehow before I can paint it. Keep up the good work and keep us posted with pics of the progress! Jim

Looks good! Looks like you lucked out and had a good solid green base to start with. I bet that helped in the amount of green you had to buy. The brown isn't marked camoflage on the can that I can tell, is it just a primer? Nice job ![thumbzup]

Perfect Troop seats are perfect, interior is perfect. Very nice work![thumbzup]
