    CUCV m1008 bed conversion

    I think if I weld a frame at the bottom of the trailer around the wheel wells I can keep the shape of the original bed. I will play with photoshop tonight and see what I can get it to look like. I agree that the frame showing doesn't look as good. My current bed is more fiberglass than steel...

    CUCV m1008 bed conversion

    Yeah I had them on a CJ7 and you couldn't stop them in the mud. On the pavement they make you pay for the off road performance. They wear fast if you keep them on the pavement.

    I know I will have to mount Jerry cans in the front of the bed behind the cab to hide the width difference.

    CUCV m1008 bed conversion

    Rusty the guy I bought my trailer from had a few m1101 and they are huge. They looked nearly 8 ft wide. They are also aluminum, making it harder to modify. Unless you can weld aluminum.

    I have an 85 m1008 that I restored recently and I want to build an off road truck out of it. I also recently picked up an m101a2 trailer to do the bed conversion, but once I hooked the two together I want to restore the trailer and keep them together.

    Gen 1 Light - Overcharging

    yeah that is what I am thinking. I was converted to 12 volts before I got so I need to do some wiring to get both alts functional. I will run a few test, but most likely rebuild both of them. Where is the best place to get a quality rebuild kit? Can I get kits that beef them up more than...

    Gen 1 Light - Overcharging

    donally1 thanks for the check list just what I needed. I have an 85 m1008 with 4000 miles on it. Drives great no issues. I installed a 12,000 lb winch today and after spooling it back up my gen 1 light is steady on. Have you guys ever seen a winch burn up an alt? I will check the wires, but I...
