Sir i am encountering a lot of issue logging in from my pc and laptop, i keep getting the "403 forbidden - spammer tollerant host network", what can I do?
this thing is debated since.. well I still remember that at school we had argument on that.. and I got my diploma in 1993.. anyway, injecting water into engine is nothing new but this is an addition to the main fuel. today it is done in addition with methanol for the same pourpose with the added...
Excuse me Sir. As you can imagine english is not my mother language so, many time, it is difficult for me to express my toughts properly.
I will try to take this story as short as I can:
When the CUCV have been first inspected the standard light didn't pass, the reason is that they was not in...
yes Sir, they are the stock ones. I don't have the pics because I don't have signed for the CUCV m1009 already (and I would like ot check this and other things before doing anything else since I will have the inspection upon registering the property transfer of the car)
Sir I am looking for the size of the complete assmebly: I would like to check if there is any particular assembly (I mean with any given specs) that the Inspection will look for: the actual owner of the CUCV have been rejected because he had some aftermarket headlight and then he changed those...
can somebody tell me the dimension of the light? I am asking because it seems that there may be a requirement for new, road compliant turn signal housing/visibility or whatever they look for (there have been issue with the headlight also) so, when the time come I want to be ready for the...
LOL Rich that one was good.. about the lifting they are way less agressive than about wheels.. but I am not sure.. anyway, I will take a look at the options (ORD has some interesting options for lifting and steering.. but before anythign else I have to take the beast home)
Sir excuse me if I keep asking question: do you have any lift kit? I have read that a m1009 can be fit with 33" tire with no modification but then many says at last a 2" lift is needed where in othe rplace some people claim that 2" lift are not enough and you also need a body lift..
About the...
Sir that sound.. I am addicted to it.. amazing video!
As I asked to your youtube channel: which tire are you using? they looks like Pro Comp Extreme All Terrain, is that correct? and the rims? are they the stock ones? thanks for your time

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try to see if I can find some younger CUCV to compare to this one. the fact is that, as you can imagine, CUCV (and American cars in general) are not so common down here in Italy.
Add to this that most if not all those available have been imported in an...
I have met with Antonio (the owner of the CUCV) and this man is a real MV lover, he belong to SS way more than me :-)
Anyway, the situation is as follow:
1) CUCV is in very good shape, very little rust in the under body, actualy only in the front wheelwell - driver side.
2) Engine changed with...
I am doing a massive search on that.. and I am in deep s**t.. besides some minor stuff that can be found here (oil filter, air filter, same grade different name oil) all the rest have to come from the US.. advantages is Euro vs. Dollar exchange rate.. killer will be the transport fee.. have to...
The CUCV will not be my daily driver, i have a Golf td (company's car) and a Peugeot (personal car) but again the fear of a situation like that is what is keeping me at bay. I can read a mechanical drawings, i can read an electrical drawing but between that and being able to solve an issue.. as...
i live in the middle of the Motor Valley: 90km to Ferrai Plant, 50 km to Maserati (even if now some are made in Turin) some 80km to Lambo, 65 to Pagani amd more or less the same to Ducati.. I grew up with car like this all around me.. Because they always test the baby on the street.. And the...
help = scared me.. then yes, you helped me :-)
but I have to admit that this is my biggest issue: I am totaly mechanically challenged. the reason why I sellected this particular vihicle it is because the actual owner is a professional that restore car, this is his personal CUCV and the car...
Hello everybody
I don't post a lot mainly because I have more to read than to write.
So said, this next Friday I will go and take a look at what will probably be my first Military Vehichle: as per the title it is a 1983 CUCV m1009.
it have been registered for road use here in Italy in 1993, this...
