6in SkyJacker (leafs front, blocks rear)

Finally got my milsurp tires on, one had a leak so I plugged it..

I agree, looks good!

Bought 4 HMMWV 37" take-offs from a milsurp place about 2 hours away, got home and realized one is cut really badly where the sidewall meets the tread. On the hunt for a single in decent shape..

Engine & weight in the front, kinda makes sense you'd want beefier shackles up there if you're lifting the whole truck by them. My 1028 is missing the 2 rears.

2nd truck isnt going to work either, if I was buying them close to home it would be different, but to hop in and drive 1,000 miles, I'm not confident in either of them. I am now just looking for a civvy truck to obuy, and maybe flip after I get up north. Thanks for the help in this thread, but...

Just got done looking at the truck, and to be honest, I'm a bit torn. Bodywise it is in great shape. It seems to run down the road fine too, but at idle there is a bit of a missfire and surging that makes me leery of the drive home. I am not sure if there's a bad injector or something along...

Duct Tape is a given!! Maybe I'll grab a can of "fix-a-flat" too.. The more prepared I am, the less likely something bad will happen!

Just outside Elmira, NY, barely across the NY/PA border. Thanks! I just hope I have an uneventful trip... I'll probably stop by Harbor Freight before I head out to buy some cheap tools for the trip home. I figure a socket set, pair of vice grips, screwdrivers, multimeter, maybe a spool of...

I think I've come to an agreement with the guy selling truck #1, he's planning on installing the radiator this weekend, and I'm most likely going to fly down monday the 24th to purchase the m1008, then I will work the rest of the week at my FL office, spend a little time with some family, and...

I was thinking the same thing, the first truck has been sitting about 3 months due to the radiator, but before that he says he drove it daily for 3 years. There's likely to be a lot less wrong with it. Plus it doesn't look quite as beat up. The 2nd truck has bent bumpers and dents in the...

Here is what I consider option #2, it's a 1986 m1008 which has been parked a long while. the owner says it could use new tires, has a bad front u-joint (could mean bent drive shaft?), and the tail lights don't currently work, at all... (electrical demon!) But the price is more in line with...

I got a pretty good lead from my CL wanted ad. This truck is a 1985 m1008, it looks pretty solid, We just need to come together on a price, he is asking $5500, which seems a bit high to me, and doesnt leave me any wiggle room for the return trip home.. (he included a picture of the brand new...

Round bales aren't that heavy, but they can be fun to try and stack, I had 9 on this load but 5 fell off before I made it to my destination, lol I like your set up though, seems like it would be real handy around the farm..

Unfortunately it doesn't seem that a visit to the Treasure Coast is in my near future, the hunt is still on!

I had just read that thread a few days ago too, I'm surprised it's not listed FS on here!

You are a wealth of information. I shall see what I can do...

Thanks for the HU, I'm trying to stick to below $5000, and even less if possible.

Atempting to plan a find & recover from Tampa, FL to Upstate, NY I am going to be flying down to Tampa for work for 1 week starting the 24th. My plan as of right now is to buy a round trip ticket, but hope to find a CUCV pickup to drive home instead. Right now I only have one lead, its about...

I had found another post on here that said if your fuse block isn't bolted down tight, you will have no tail lights at all (brakes, signals or anything) I'm guessing it's grounded from being bolted down?
