    The buyer needs to do his homework. I've inspected and won some pretty nice stuff from GovL. There is no possible way they can know the condition of every item they sell and if you read carefully, it will tell you this. BTW, if you bid within the last 15 minutes, the auction will automatically...

    Windshield washer switch.

    I just bought an all black turn signal / washer arm from GM and it looks right at home in a mil vehicle as compared with the chrome one. The arm seems to have a lot of play in it, so I'm hoping the switch will fix that problem. Warren

    Transmission Options

    Will a 700R4 work in the M1009? The reason is I do a lot of freeway mileage and am looking for 4 or more speeds. Anyone? Warren

    Driver seat done!

    I have a trophy shop that does it here in San Deigo.They do a real nice job. If you want, you can send me your data plate and I can have them do it, but I'm sure you have a trophy / engraving shop where you live and they could probably do the same thing. Just make sure you get a sample of...

    Desert Rat, I have a local upholsterer do all my work. He charged me 97.00 to cover the driver seat. I used heavy duty foam.I have to pick up my passenger seat when I have some time. I made new plywood bases for the bottoms and backs, as I didn't like the military's contruction...

    Driver seat done!

    Hi Gary, The "Jockey box" has yet to be restored...I'm looking for a velvet lining, perhaps Mob red! Or maybe I'll go down to T.J. and buy a cheap velvet Elvis painting and line it with that. The dash is done...see photo at bottom... I had the data plate professionally engraved. It turned out...

    tire size selection /brands

    What are you guys running for tires? Brand, size, wheels (stock or after market)? And how has the increase in tire size affected your gas mileage, handling, and fender clearance? I would like to know if I went to 32" or 33" if I would have any problems. I don't want to get too far...

    Auxiliary gauges

    Does anyone have "real gauges" hooked up on their CUCVs? I would like to know what the motor is doing and hate the idiot lights that usually come on when it is too late. Are there locations to put sending units for the coolant temp gauge and oil pressure? Warren

    Flat Towing A CUCV Question

    I don't think so, since it is going to rotate in normal operation. It is just that the rotation source is coming from the rear wheels instead of the transmission. When we impound vehicles through the police, they are usually always towed with the front of the vehicle being attached to the tow...

    Driver seat done!

    Here are two photos of my duece seat. I made a plywood back out of 3/4" finish grade plywood, and attached it to the seat back panel with 1/4-28 bolts. Don't forget to drill the wood back panels for air release or you'll sit down and the seat will remain a bit depressed. The foam I used is...
