    M1101 Camping build

    At least the trailer sits level with the truck. The top looks good. Trailer doesn’t look bad at all painted white. A clean canvas awaits

    New M1008! Couple of questions!

    Looks great! Recommend you black out your license tag number ASAP You would be amazed at what can be found out about you with it.

    Tossing the push button start

    I always love reading the stories about guys bypassing an issue.......instead of actually fixing the issue.

    M103a3 axle

    No idea on the weight, but Dexter Axle will have something for a replacement. They are a supplier to the Military. Did you look at the axle tab already? It will have the part number and weight rating, etc.

    New M1008! Couple of questions!

    The engine definitely needs a bath. Car wash with hot water will clean her up nice. Just stay away from alternators.

    Rear Axle Came Loose...

    I would also check the fluid levels in everything else in the truck. Everything.

    Can you run JP8 in the CUCV M1009 ?

    You can do that with almost zero issues....... But......do not let it sit around for a long time with Prist added to fuel. It does not store well when mixed and will cause fuel system issues.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Put a can of Seafoam additive in your tank and 1 can each the next few tanks. It will clean up dirty injectors and improve the entire fuel system. You might have other issues but the seafoam will not hurt anything.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Definitely When our wife’s last met, they both had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Especially when they were imitating us justifying our latest surplus purchase to them. Yea. Keepers both.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I haven’t done a thing to mine. Haven’t even seen it in 3 weeks. Temporarily assigned in Northern California with flying and really miss my M1008A1. My wife sent pics of her driving it. ........made the CUCV withdrawals worse.

    Can you run JP8 in the CUCV M1009 ?

    JP8 an inferior fuel?! ........Hardly JP8 is an excellent fuel and has several additives that aren’t available in the civilian world. Run it all day long without worry.

    M1101 goes deer hunting

    Good idea. Looks to be another good deer season. Those wheels definitely need painted.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Not around here they don’t. And I see you missed the point. At this point, all the “scientific evidence” you are clambering for wouldn’t matter. Complain for complainings sake

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Fram is sold at Walmart. That alone speaks volumes Personal preference To each his own.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Installed new rubber on my tan M101A2. Identical to the ones on my M1008A1 Cooper all-terrain Stock size Load Range E Trailer definitely rides smoother with the new rubber.

    S-280 Shelter. How do I get Cellular/Radio Reception Inside?

    Outside antenna is white, inside antenna is black. Did not paint anything. The pole is galvanized and no paint either. Would love to paint the shipping container and antenna pole OD. That would require at least 10 gallons........@ $70 a gallon for the good stuff. Can’t justify that expense.

    New CUCV Owner! Has some issues, needs assistance .

    Have you looked at all the information on SS related to the “Death Wobble”? Threads and videos? It’s not going away on it’s own and will continue to get worse. Regardless, you’ll need new parts. Might as well start stocking up now.

    S-280 Shelter. How do I get Cellular/Radio Reception Inside?

    I do but not for online posting. Basic install. Very easy and the 30’ pole I anchored to a shipping container. Doesn't matter on interior antenna placement as long as it’s inside. Great signal inside no matter where it’s placed. Worth every cent.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I use new trans oil, not used. Nice sunny and hot summer day for application. New wood soaks it up like a sponge. Old Chevy bed trailer we found on our property. It was upside down in a small ravine and trees growing through the rotted bed. Installed new flooring, wiring, lights, tires...

    Chinook Mishap @ OK Vet's Day Parade Investigation - 11/2018

    Unfortunately the Hook pilots will get disciplined because they know the effects of their rotorwash and should have known the crowd was too close. Rotorwash from a chinook is over 100 mph. Initiate a go-around and radio that crowd is too close. That simple. I used to fly that type (MH-47E)...
