    new M1009, lots of plans and ideas

    these tires and rims are the rigth price and look good, but I don't think they would be able to turn without at least a 4-6 inch lift and the size would probably need a gear ratio change my question is, will the axles hold up? Its not going to eba an extreme 4x4, just driven in the...

    new here, 1009 has bad crank, need new motor or rebuild

    the mechanic seemed to think that it was still good, that I could buy a crank and rebuild the lower end... BUT for the amount that woudl have cost, and payign somebody to pull the motor out etc, easier and quicker to swap in another motor. I may attempt to rebuild this motor, and maybe...

    Quick fixes/ emergency repairs/ jerry rigging/ inovations that will get you home.

    I plan on assembling a bag of stuff for this vehicle once I get mine running, zip ties, duct tape, hose clamps, spare belts assorted bolts and nuts, JB weld, vise grips etc.. you never know, I'm sure most of us have some non CUCV related broke down and rigged it fixes, hope to keep mine...

    new here, 1009 has bad crank, need new motor or rebuild

    drove to Charlote and back, retieved the motor and dropped it off at the mechanics.. hopefully have a running truck soon!!! Oh and I will probably have some leftover parts, intake manifold, basically almost an entire engine minus a crankshaft ;-)

    new M1009, lots of plans and ideas

    well thats good to know, for starters I just want the thing to run, will probably get some cheap tires that are stock or near to it, then after given it a long period of thought maybe go bigger... I do realize that if I go to a much larger tire a regear will be almost mandatory with the...

    new M1009, lots of plans and ideas

    well my thoughts are to go 32-33 on it with just a small lift ( 2-4) for now make sure the rest of the truck gets in good reliable workign order.. Maybe in the future, the humvee 37's taller lift and the banks ( with a regear as well) lots of good suggestions and pics... any...

    new M1009, lots of plans and ideas

    anyone know the biggest tire I can safely fit on a stock height one with stock rims? the stock tires are pretty small, I had 265's on my 2wd ford, and 285's on the 4x4 stock height one I had the truck just looks funny with the smaller stock size tires.

    new M1009, lots of plans and ideas

    well the turbo falls into the Optional late if I think I need it. and the humvee tires come mounted on rims that fit Military Tires the turbo would be a banks sidewinder aftermarket kit If I go with a 4-6 inch lift I can fit the bigger tires, Or I may just see what I can buy...

    new M1009, lots of plans and ideas

    on my notebook when I was thinking the 37" hummvee tires, I just budgeted for a gear swap.. now I'm not so sure, keep thinking not go so big on the tires and lift, keep it simple, just enough I have plenty of time to think about it...

    new M1009, lots of plans and ideas

    not sure if blown is the correct term.. when it wouldn't start, the mechanic and I started checkign things, like timing chain, glowplug voltage etc.. the mechanic ( who had been workign on the truck for the owner) kept saying it was running great then blam fubar. ( I wonder if GA would let...

    new M1009, lots of plans and ideas

    I'm basically making a to do list, and I have 6 months of time to think about what to do when I get back. the turbo is a wishful thinking maybe, I have to drive the truck some to see if I want more power. I will probably do a 4 inch lift and a decent size tire package, that way it will stay...

    new M1009, lots of plans and ideas

    m1008 Lift

    I think after I sort my engine out, I will need some of those rims and tires, and of course a 6 inch lift to clear them ( wow that added up fast) oh well still cheaper then buying a new truck...
