You can do this. I can talk you thru it. No rocket science. Lets do it.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it but that auxiliary tap into the fuel tank will only draw the fuel tank down to a 1/4 tank. That was a smart thing to let the vehicle have a 1/4 tank so you could drive and get more fuel if the equipment you were running off the tap ran out of fuel. Good Luck. It...

Good News is I have a brand new OEM GM M1009 right 1/4 panel if you are interested. Let me know. That area that is damaged on yours is a tough area to get straight. Lots of unreachable pockets and detail work to get everything fitting correctly without filling it. Good Luck. I just wanted to put...

I have completed the 4 spring addition on several CUCV units for snow plowing. I bought the spring packs at Stanley Springs Harrisburg PA. https://www.daytonparts.com/DPweb/App_11/Info_site/info_enter_iframe.asp

And in this case with color match issues I would opt to have the entire vehicle repainted. That is what happens with special colors. If the vehicle was damaged by another party it could be discussed in a civil tone to have the paint job redone. I would not get loud and claim things that are not...

https://www.cnet.com/home/smart-home/these-color-sensors-take-the-pain-out-of-paint-matching/ I do hope this person stopped and had insurance. How would I ship a liquid paint to Germany?

Fresh off the assembly floor. The Built in a Barn. Now living in Germany. I hope you are still enjoying the M1009 German 1008.

I made it from a HMMWV rear cover. That M1009 also had the front bed wall installed in it. That was my Little Mule Pepe.

I bought the M1102 for the legal towing weight of the manufacturer. I wanted the 4200 GVW. That is also what the generator trailers are rated at. That little nomenclature tag was worth the legal part of it. I would not want to find out after the fact that I was involved in an accident with a...

Well with this being how they were handled anything is possible. I replaced and repaired everything that was broken, bent and missing. I am using this trailer on the top to haul 8 FT logs and scrap wood. It will have a good life now and get treated with respect.

I wondered why my trailer jack on my M1102 generator trailer was so hard to crank. So far, I bought 3 trailers, and everyone had issues with the trailer jack. This was a 2013 trailer and I thought all was well. But NOOOO. The master cylinder is broken off and the jack is packed tight with mud. I...

This same day the bilge pump quick working. just like that I was getting damp socks. But as you can see from the picture, Terminus was vaccinated and up to date of its distemperment shot. Took a licking and kept on ticking.

This is a 5-year-old picture of my old M1009. This M1009 did not have a straight panel on it and was stacked on top of another M1009 when I bought it at a scrap sale. It was a FITG 28 infantry vehicle. It had no tires, wheels, starter. or alternators on it when I bought it. That was in 2002 and...

Fixing it is easy if that is your goal. And I have been working with CARC for over 27 years. Like anything I am not doing it 24/7. But if you are not fussy and in a hurry it could be repaired with a minimum of expenditure. But if you pay someone the costs add up quickly. I never fixed my own...

The thing you must do up front is ask yourself. Do you want a trailer queen or do you want a survivor that has a few good strong patches and everything works and operates as designed. I had a few real puss bucket M1009's and I patched them up and drove the pants off of them off road and on. I...

Time won't let me.

The picture of the brakes appears that the wheel cylinder has no contact with the brake shoes. Are they there in place? I can't see them in the picture. Just asking.

Today I was outside working and decided to go in out of the snow and wind for a while. I rebuilt a pair of M1009 rear window guide tracks. The main reason they fail is that is the sash guide ends get rusty and dig and gouge the felt from the window tracks. These are new sash, but a person can...
