    We lost out today guys!

    ABN, Well follow up on it, and press him for a better answer. To find out for sure if it has been detroyed or not. So, if not, maybe someone here can save it.. Heck, if they did not destroy it, and they will take $300 for it, maybe (keyword maybe) I could take it, as long as someone can...

    Hi guys, Those two pics are examples of what NOT to do to an MV. It is just that simple. I belive in keeping vehicles stock, the way they were designed and intended use. Just my $0.02 cents....

    Atlanta, Ga area salvage yards

    Hello Zout, Again, thank you for the offer. I will let you know about the shocks. But I do not expect to get anything for free. As for doing any work on my truck, I would like to do as much of it myself as possible, so I need to learn. If it is something I still cannot grasp, or do not have...

    Atlanta, Ga area salvage yards

    Hello Zout, Thank you for the words of wisdom... I understand the issues with the CUCV, and I am slowly getting those issues in mine taken care of. I did the doghead mod. I replaced the two under dash relays next to the doghead relay with relays I got from CUCV electric. I got the started...

    Atlanta, Ga area salvage yards

    Hi guys, Thanks for the information, and the tips, advice, etc. Also, usually when I do find a salvage yard, I ask for parts for a 1985 chevy blazer, I do not always tell them its for a M1009, or CUCV because I do not expect them to have such things, unless I see them in their yards already...

    Atlanta, Ga area salvage yards

    Thanks for the info guys. I think I would head for CSI first then, since I do know they are strictly military. I was just hoping there would be something closer. If I cannot find anything at CSI, then I will go to pull a part then.

    Hi guys, Any of you know of any salvage yards in the Atlanta or surrounding area, that one can find M1009's and/or their parts? I have tried Marietta salvage for looking for civy blazers or equivalents, but that has not worked out so well yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank...

    M1009 rust repair

    Hi guys, Can anyone recommend a good yet reasonable body shop, to do some rust hole repair on my M1009? I would do it myself, but welding is not my area of expertise. Also, at some point I would like to get it painted in the same OD green that it is painted on the inside.. I would like to...

    Atlanta area: M1009 batteries

    Hello Timber, Thank you for the post. I do not believe that was me in Palmetto. Where is Palmetto? Besides, I work on Fridays.. But thank you for the battery information. $70 each new sounds pretty good if they will work. Compared to the typical price of batteries with that CCA. You are...

    Pop went the weasel. Any ideas?

    Hello epartsman, If all else fails. Just take it to L&J Diesel, and have them diagnose the problem. It could not hurt, and most likely the estimate should be free. Just my $0.02 cents... Good luck, wish I could help you more.

    Jerry Can Strap

    Hi guys, Thank you for this thread. I was wondering how to strap in my Jerry can too, now since I read this I unbolted my bracket and put the strap underneath. So now since I did that, my Jerry can is much more secure, and does not move around as much in the bracket, and now someone cannot...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Hi guys, Joe, do you have any idea what vehicle that center console came out of? Or do you think it was after market? Just curious, how much would it cost for me to get one of those racks put on my M1009?, by you and that friend of yours, that is, if it would be okay to use your design.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    re: Father's Day Projects...... Hello Joe, Your mods and your '09 look good. What kind of center console is that, and where did you find it? Also, how/where did you get that safari rack? And with the rack, can you still put your roof back on?
