Ken, I havent checked my MPG's not really a concern not a daily driver. As for quieter i beleive so but installing cherry bomb exhaust at the same time, its really hard to say . Power - i would say it has better throttle response and thats about it. Mabe some power gain really cant speculate...
No pics but i bought a AIRAID intake flex pipe at Advance Auto $20 and installed it on my stock intake then ran the hose through the knock out in the grill. 10 min install. The tube was very tight to get around the oblong opening on the factory intake. Then i install a K&N. Done deal.
This wont help you in N.Y. But....
Here in La. i just registered my Cucv with military stencils in lieu of the license plate. That is complete now. And while i had the DMV on the phone I ask them about my M101A2. So i gave them the FIRST 7 serial #s as required and they ran it and said thats...
A Old Update.
My M1009 now has the LAST 7 numbers on the registration. Not the FIRST 7 like they ask for. It does turn out that
all first 7 numbers are the same. But its done now. While i had them on the phone I ask about my M101A2 trailer and gave them the first 7 letters and numbers and they...
Nice ride. I used hurculiner for the entire inside of the cab. $100 bucks and did it in 1 day. Also you can do a search on here theres a few threads on what people first do to theres when first receiving there CUCV. For sure check the front wheel bearings and starter bolts and bracket. For...
Heres a thread i like. I have and like the Ab-15 base and MS-116-117-118 cut down to 110" It works well for me. I run around a 7K acre deer lease and can talk to everyone in the area. It gets the job done for me. Mines connected to a Cobra Classic-29 You can get the base and sections off ebay...
I'm paying $32 a month for full coverage with State Farm. I have it insured for $5k.
For 3 months I was paying $8 a month as a antique vehicle. But after further reveiw they changed it saying it didn't qualify.
My M1008 I was paying $30 a month for liability. Now I'm paying $32 full coverage for...
I mounted the antenna mount on the back right side on the truck. Then I mounted the AB-15 to the bracket. It's a perfect fit. Then tied the antenna down to the front brush guard on the truck. I hope this helps.
Heres my first military trailer. Just put some fresh 383 RAPCO CARC subsitute paint on it. I still need to clean up the frame and repaint. And i might Hurculine the inside.

Well i just installed some cherry bombs. Followed AJMBLAZER instuctions. Im happy with them but probaly would have rather some nice flowmasters. 1-2nd there not real loud 2-3 its pretty loud. But running down the HWY i really dont notice them. It is what it is GLASSPACKS. I also installed a cold...
I like optimas also but on my M1009 I got 2-850 cca walmart batteries for $79 a peice I've been running them for almost 2 years and they hold a charge for months at a time with out use.
Good luck
Update- Heres the final product im overall happy with the look and the paint quality. Rapco paint isnt that shiny to me as everyone puts it out to be. The paint on my truck was already decent so the refresher only took 6 cans. I still got some left over for my m101 touch up
Mine is just a hobby i would never use it just for a daily driver thats just me. It came from a guy that had got from the LA-NG and is well maintained and everything works. since then ive done put over $2000 in maintance just to feel better about it. I love it and hope to never get rid of it but...
What kind of whips are you looking for? Something for looks or with a CB?
If going with the CB i went with the Mount Ab-15 base and MS-16-17-18 whip on my Oh-9 and it works flawlessly and looks great. Got it all on Ebay for $150. Other than that troop seats would be a nice add on like said...
