M1009 cucv

My friend got a ex military trailer a few months ago from a guy in the desert who sells military surplus, and he had a few of the M1008/9's around. Ever since then I have been wanting one.

I know stock the 6.2 can get up to 20 mpg cruising with 4.56 gears. How well do you think it can it do if it were 2wd, a 3.42 rear end, and backed by a 4L80? Maybe a banks kit to bring up the power for DD. Some people claim over 25 which would be amazing to me or did they tune the engine to the utmost?

Lets be honest I don't go wheeling, and I just need a decent ride height to go fishing. The M1009 will be lowered for easier access for me. Or about 2 inches lower then my C20.

Hopefully I am on the verge of a better job again, and would like to get one when things clear up around my house. Namely my projects that I have to restart.
