    DIY Bed/Cab Liner

    I've seen some of these DIY bed liners that are spray/roll on and I like them a lot. Before I go ahead and take the plunge I thought I'd ask and see if any of you have done this before? If all goes well in the bed, I'm also thinking of rolling inside the cab. Just on the floorboards and...

    Lifting Issues with a 1008...

    I know another thread about lifts, but I just can't seem to find my answer yet... I am looking at putting a 3.5" lift on a 1008. I understand you have to extend the brake lines but what else is there thats different on a military truck. If I buy a 1986 K30 lift kit, will it go on a m1008...

    Blacksmoking a 6.2

    Just wondering if you all would think it would be completely stupid to re-tune my fuel injectors so I could black smoke. To be honest there's really no reason for it other than the looks :-o. I wouldn't have it tuned to be smoking 24/7, just when i lay on the throttle. Anyway would this ruin...

    Painting a CUCV?

    I've never painted anything before and am planning on taking this to a shop to have done for me because I don't want to screw anything up. I was thinking desert tan with black bumpers and brush guards. Has anyone had their truck painted before, if so what did it cost? Also what could i do...

    Been looking around here for some specs, and have been having a hard time finding any. Thought we could use a thread with all the stock parts and stuff (i.e. stock rim size, starter, tank size, oil pan size, transmission oil, etc...) Just looking for anything to help ease maintenance and...

    New M1008 Checklist, Anything to add?

    I'll be buying a M1008 as soon as I sell my motorcycle to open the slot for a new toy. I'm only allowed one :(. Anyway, through my scanning of the forum, I've kind of created a check and repair list that I'll perform immediately, within a year, and if I have the money left over. I'll include...

    6.2L Power?

    Through my research of the M1008, I've been hearing a lot of complaints of lack of power. I know it only has around 210 for horsepower but the ft/lbs of torque should be high right? Anyway, do your guys M1008's have adequate power to climb pretty good inclines and similar obstacles?
