    Unloaded at Banks

    A Marine unloaded this HMMWV at Gale Banks Engineering today. Could a Six Gun Bundle be in it's future? Any idea what this one is configured for?

    Local Pick a Part find

    Found this in the local Pick a Part. I'm not sure what model/version it is, but It must have been military at one time. Most of it is there. The seat frame and springs in the bed. The funny thing about it is it's location in the yard. It is presently in the "El Primo" area. "El Primo" is for...

    M1028 GSS Cobra seats

    Global Seating Systems, the maker of the Cobra model seat, doesn't even list prices on their website. Well at least I haven't found any...yet!

    Any M1009 owners running 32 11.50 15 tires?

    33x12.5x15 on mine. Had a suspension lift done for two reasons. The right turn rubbing and the suspension was shot anyway. Had to install a short wife assister step.

    doghead starter relay modifcation

    I’ve have become accustomed to the sound of the glow plug relay cycling. The click I heard was nowhere near as loud and only occurred as I turned the key. My wife said she heard a click as well. I don't doubt her. It's my firm belief that she can hear a cricket walking on carpet in the...

    doghead starter relay modifcation

    Performed the "Doghead" conversion this afternoon. It may have been the easiest electrical project I've done on the truck so far. Am I crazy or am I hearing the relay "click" during start up? :???:

    sensitive subject matter

    Bought my M1009 in April of this year for $3400 from a company that leases/rents military vehicles to the studios. So in a way I've got a movie star in my driveway!:p I did throw my wallet at it a couple of times, but it has been a great truck...so far.

    ever get a load of gas in your CUCV?

    Got the gas nozzle in the fill hole on my '03 Ram with Cummins and was about to squeeze the handle. Luckily I caught myself before I really screwed up. Any truth to the claim that fuel/gasoline pumped in Oregon will give better MPG than fuel/gasoline pumped in California? CA gas is full of...

    E Bay M1031....................

    This guy has sold alot of military vehicles. Everyone that I've seen listed by him has had the same spray paint rebuild done to it. Just look at his EPay feedback. Click on the item description when you find a listing for a vehicle. Unbelievable.

    Things I found at the pick and pull...

    The places around where I live don't have Blazers or Suburbans to pick over. Unless of coarse you want an S-10 Blazer, then you're in the right place. All of the places I've been to charge a buck to two bucks to get in. It's been that way as long as I can remember. Probably to cover the small...

    Under dash Light

    I have the same underdash light and it works. Does anyone know if there is a red bulb available to replace it? I plan on installing a couple more and want to use red bulbs.

    New M1028 HUGE!!! What do ya'll think?!?

    Nice ride. Sure is alot of green on it. Perhaps some black and brown irregular patches of paint would spruce it up?

    New 1985 M1010

    My M1009 had the same problem when I first got it. It would have to be nearly redlined before it would slam into the next gear. Vacuum module on the transmission was shot and most of my vacuum lines had degraded into mush. Replaced these items and made a minor adjustment to the shift points...

    Finally won an M101A2??

    That is a sweet lookin' trailer! At the risk of being rude would you mind telling how much the winning bid was? My wifey has kind of given me the blessing to go after one and I'd like to know roughly what one costs. Thanks.

    TAN vs GREEN paint...

    I would love to put that on the door if my M1009 was heavily armored.

    TAN vs GREEN paint...

    I prefer the camo look myself. Camo gets a lot of reactions from people...a lot of thumbs up or nods, compliments on my sweet hunting rig though I don't hunt. The majority of the time it's all good. Occasionally you do get a good god what is that thing? When it looks all faded it's time for a wash.
