Ok...this may be a dumb question but my Mite doesn't have any brake lights. I checked for a switch near the brake pedal linkage but didn't see anything. Did they come with brake lights? Is there a switch that I can get so I can have brake lights? I do have turn signals which are 12 volt and...

I took my M38A1 Arctic top and put it on my Mighty Mite. It's not a perfect fit since it is about two inches too long. It will fit well if I tilt the windshield to a vertical position. However, with the windshield vertical, there is a 1" gap in between the windshield and the top. I'll most...

I just registered my Mite today!!! I took it out for a drive and occasionally, the engine floods and is tough to start. I have an inline fuel filter which does not have much fuel in it. Besides rebuilding the carb, I was thinking of replacing the fuel pump. Any suggestions? Also, my Mite...

Does anyone have a copy (either paper or pdf) of a TM for a Mighty Mite? Thanks

Well, I crammed a Haflinger into my M101 trailer and am hauling it from Arkansas to Nevada. It's a slow ride going over mountains since the M1009 is loaded with a bunch of stuff too. On the flats, I can cruise around 60mph comfortably. Once I get the Haffie home, I will transfer it to my flat...

My Gen 1 light is on very faintly but my alternator is fine. It's so faint that I can only see the glow at night. Any reason for this? The belts are the right tightness as well. I'm making a cross country trip and want to make sure I don't have any problems. Thanks in advance!

I just added a rear factory tinted window to my M1009 today. Having the sides and rear tinted will keep the truck cooler in the desert and it will keep prying eyes off of my work tools. It will also add some privacy when I sleep in the back of the truck. Yes, I have pictures but I left the...

Ok...this may be a dumb question but I thought that all Blazers had the same size glass? I was at a local junk yard today and saw a 1989 Blazer with a factory tinted rear window. When I asked about it, they told me it wouldn't fit my 1985 Blazer. Is this true? The body and cap are exactly...

Has anyone ever converted trailer air brakes to electric? I have a military tilt deck trailer from the early sixties. It's only a 3 ton capacity but I think it is equipped with air brakes. I want to be able to tow it behind my M1009 and would like working brakes. Is there any way to...

Has anyone taken apart their injector pump to clean it? Is it worth doing? I had rust in mine when I pulled the top off. I just pulled the pump and found a mangled O-ring on the drive shaft. Can anyone tell me where the O-ring is supposed to go? It's on a 1984 M1009. Thanks,

Do the M151, M416 rims fit a Mighty Mite? My Mite does not have the correct rims and I want to replace them.

Here are some pics of a civvy tire rack that I picked up. I'm thinking of making some of these at my friend's shop. He's got a tubing bender. If anyone is interested, let me know. Mike Pop

Well, I've added a much better seat to my M1009. A few years ago, I found a guy on ebay who refurbishes trucks. He gets them new and guts them which gives him a lot of extra seats. He then sells them on ebay for a really good price. I've bought three pairs of these seats and installed them...

Has anyone done a turbo conversion on their CUCV? I noticed that the M1009 is slow on long inclines and steep mountains, especially with a trailer. Would adding a turbo help with this? How about gaining a little power at higher elevations? Thanks, Mike Pop

List, I was able to acquire a Canadian cage for an M101 trailer. I've used the aluminum wire mesh sides on my trailer and put the wire mesh cover on my Blazer. I've managed to moe than double my payload and keep the inside of the Blazer empty for my bed and gear. I've found it to be an...

List, For those of you interested, here is a trip report for my annual vacation to Northwest Mogfest. I put on 7,500 miles on my military Blazer in a period of three weeks. August 9: Left NJ and made it to Memphis, TN to pick up a Marine Corps trailer destined for Sheridan, OR. August 10...

I am leaving for a trip today and my CUCV won't start. Yesterday, the starter relay was acting up and letting the starter continue to run. In order to stop and start it, I just disconnected the relay. I went out this morning and tried to start it and got nothing. I had a new starter so I put...

I just agreed to buy a friend's Mighty Mite. It's an M422A1 that is in running, drivable condition, complete with bows, canvas, and doors. I'm so excited! I guess selling my Unimog U1300L was a good idea? Mike Pop

I'm making my annual trip to Northwest Mogfest again. This time, I will be driving my M1009 from NJ to TN to pick up a trailer and then onto my home in NV. From there, I will drive my Unimog up to Oregon. It's going to be a long drive as usual but at least the M1009 can do 75mph. Mike Pop

I am making a trip from my home in Central NJ to my home in Central Nevada and then going to a Unimog event near Salem, Oregon. Depedning on what has to be hauled, I will be driving my M1009 and an M101 trailer. I would have space for just about anything that would fit in the trailer. Let me...
