    Might get another M886

    I'm thinking about getting another M886, Why? because it's there. With 2, I could keep the current one original, and make an olive drab / camo camper special put of this one. An extra leaf in the springs, all the way around and some Humvee tires? Anyone have a pic how a Humvee rim fits / works...

    Improving the gas mileage of the M-880 series

    While I'm sure there are a few things that can be done to improve the fuel mileage. but these things weigh well over 4000lbs, have the aerodynamics of a brick and 4.10 gearing. They could never get good mileage. I firmly believe that a small 4 barrel & a RV cam would help out. I think headers...

    Re: RE: Cheap M880 on Ebay! :lol: Well I gave my Dress Blues away to a new young Marine years ago. They would have needed to be let out a little anyway :oops: I'm guessing since I'll be 47 next Friday, that the Corps isn't interested in having me back though. Anyway I just re-listed the...

    Cheap M880 on Ebay!

    Yep, It went pretty cheap, except for the fact that it was a deadbeat bidder :twisted: Will be relisting it again today. Body is pretty rusted but engine & drivetrain are very good. If it wasn't so cold here now I'd part it out and scrap the rest, would net about $1000 that way. :?

    Re: RE: Doing Some Research... Aerodynamics :lol: Carryover design from way back. with the passenger seat that folds forward it makes for real easy movement to & from the rear compartment thru the passenger door. Neat place to mount the spotlight :roll:
