    Need to borrow a trailer in WV for HMMWV haul

    I live an hour north of memphis and can help if needed. Honestly I would call Eric at Hotshot and just get it shipped. I have a some people ive used in the past that would haul it for about the same as going and getting it when you figure a two way trip.

    Expedition truck...

    I agree with Tennmogger. When your dealing with a vehicle that size you hit a point of it being too big to do anything practicle as a camper with any offroad capability. The reason the military can get away with having something as big as a HEMTT or 5 ton with a electronics box (camper) on it is...

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

    installed a solargizer from a parts m35a2 i had laying around. Mounted the solar panel on the hood because it doesnt matter to me where it goes. could have monuted it inside on the dash just as easy but oh well.

    cucv glow plug controler and 12v conversion

    actually with dual 100 amp altenators I dont see what you are going to gain by converting to 12v. Just run whatever extra your going to run off the front battery. The DS alt charges the front 12v side battery. The battery charging system doesnt become 24v until the post closest to the firewall...

    86 6.2 glow plug module repair

    :ditto:that is the easiest way to do it. the one i have now bypasses the control card completly. I have a two wires running to the switch in the cab from the glow plug relay. It came from the GL lot that way or i would be doing it as stated above. Ditto on the starter switch or similar momentary...

    86 6.2 glow plug module repair

    I would stick with the push button. The reason many of us converted is because the stock module is so problematic.

    Scavenging Fuel - Can a Deuce Do It?

    i think this is kinda a far fetched thread for allot of us. If a big disaster hits its probably going to be regional which means you can drive somewhere else in your green monster and use that all important survival tool..... the credit card. If its a global or nationwide outage or shutdown...
