    New 1009

    Exactly A bit more expensive, but you’ll get the closest thing to OEM as you can. They do excellent work. Just don’t be in a hurry. You do get what you pay for.

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

    Installed today yet another Gates #33924 thermostat. This is the third one since I bought truck. Second one in about 2-3 weeks. They are now made in China........Shocker. Yes it’s installed correctly and is the 190 degree thermostat designed for the 6.2L Diesel application. Last one worked...

    M1101/M1102 Trailer Body Panels

    The salesman gets paid off sales totals The more the better. Company knows by the paper trail, etc everything that’s sold and to whom. If any issue, then salesman wouldn’t have agreed to sell anything. A DMV person gets paid by the hour. Whether they see 1 or 100 people a day, the pays the...

    New member, new m1008 extra battery wire?

    Welcome to Steel Soliders. As mentioned, a pic would really help. Don’t guess and possibly hook up batteries wrong!!! Lots of problems can happen.

    M1101/M1102 Trailer Body Panels

    I’m kinda surprised that they even talked to you. Every manufacturer of military equipment usually will not respond, let alone sell anything, to a civilian. Doesn’t matter if the person is a veteran either. So your doing great in getting as far as you did. Recommend posting the SIlver Eagle...

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Want another one and of course the surplus supply has dried up. Portland is too far as shipping would be killer. It’s been very handy to hook up and tow around for ranch for power. Beats lifting up my other generator into the pickup/trailer bed. Having the light available when I need it has...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Buyer can arrange shipping. Still cheaper than a complete trailer for just the axle.

    Can anyone identify what model trailer these bows fit

    Look like they might be from an older generator trailer.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I saw a stack of NOS ones on eBay. Good price too. Axle, brakes, drums and all.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Couldn’t edit old post Factory Kubota radiator cap. This is a perfect fit and is designed for the radiator on this unit This supersedes the old post on another radiator cap that, while worked ok, was not a factory part.

    Anyone paint their aluminum radiator?

    Cost is exactly right. Plus bare aluminum will eventually corrode depending on its environment. They did a very good job painting mine. Nothing clogged or blobbed up anywhere. Not even a run in the paint. Most of the scuff marks were from me.

    Anyone paint their aluminum radiator?

    They still make the copper/brass one. OEM design and quality Exact fit. Factory painted black. $435 if I remember correctly. (from the local radiator shop). Part number has been posted in several threads. I started a thread when I bought my copper/brass radiator. You get what you pay for.

    101A2 Adventure Trailer

    Just curious on how much weight this is adding What’s your estimate?
  18. Tinstar

    Electric brakes on 101a2 and 1101

    Not sure how yards equates to weight. Definitely depends on material. 1-3/4” gravel is what I buy. The scale at the yard is what I was going off of. As the front end loader was dumping the gravel, I was watching the springs and axle bumpers. When it was close to where I wanted it, I would...

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

    Knew about the trains and they were mentioned a few post earlier. Someday normal cars and trucks will do that to the same degree. Maybe
