    Request Pictures of Stock Engine Compartments - Various Views

    The M1008 I recently purchased has been modified in various ways and I'd like to return a couple of things to stock configuration. To do that properly, I need to start with some really good stock photos for reference. Can some of you that have stock engine compartments post various views please...

    Request photos of an M1008 parking brake assembly

    I'm hoping someone can get under their dash and snap some good pictures of their parking brake assembly...engaged...not engaged. With the M1008 I purchased, the foot brake lacks the spring that keeps it raised up when not engaged. I've glanced at my assembly and then compared it to the pictures...

    UPDATED: Bad Experience with Mariano, Liberty Hill, Texas

    I was referred to a CL ad for a M1008 for sale in Liberty Hill, Tx so it peaked my interest. I called the number in the ad and Mariano answered. I told him I was interested in the truck, so we set up an appointment for 10:30 am today. He asked that I call before arrival. It's takes about 2 hours...

    ORD Shackle Flip and Stock Spring vs 4" Tuff Country EZ Ride HDs

    I called ORD today to finalize my order, but sadly Chris was not available. I'm going with a 4" lift, but can't really justify going with the ORD springs....just too pricey. So, I'm trying to decide whether to go with the rear ORD shackle flip mated to stock springs or to go with the 4" Tuff...

    Spinning Antenna Mount Bolt

    So, today, I was tired of banging my head on my M1009's antenna mounts so I started loosening the bolts. Wouldn't you know it. Most bolts came right out, but I have maybe three where the nut in the truck side is spinning. See image below. I really don't want to cut the bolts and drill. Any ideas...

    Bilstein Shocks for Lifted M1009

    I will soon be getting a 4" lift on my M1009 and have a question. When 0RD gave me a quote, they listed Bilstein F3 0RD SD shocks for the fronts / 5125's for the rears. I get the 5125's but what are the Bilstein F3 0RDs?

    M1009 Old Front Springs - Droop (What should it look like new?)

    I've had this M1009 for about a week now so I'm looking it over, up, down, around and trying to ascertain what all needs to be addressed. Since the tires are dated 2003, that's a place to start, but I'm also wanting to get the suspension and steering in order. The brakes are stopping fine and...

    Anyone Have This Setup: 33x10.5x15s on Black Rock 942 Wheels???

    So, I'm fixing to purchase a full set of wheels and tires and just wondering if anyone has this setup. These will be going on a 1984 M1009 that will probably get the Tuff Country 3" EZ Ride Lift with SX8000 shocks...but still need to research it some. Your feedback is always welcome. - BFG...

    I Bought My First CUCV; a 1984 M1009

    I just wanted to drop in and say hello now that I bought my first CUCV. This seems like the perfect place to be. In the past, I used to be into old BMW motorcycles and Alfa Romeos so the love of old things is always there for me. The CUCV I bought is a somewhat run down 1984 M1009. It certainly...
