CUCV - M1008 vs M1009
So I've built bagged trucks, minitrucks, drag cars, etc, but never built a 4WD. Recently, I've gotten the idea stuck in my head that I really want to buy a surplus CUCV at auction. The M1009 better fits my situation since I have 2 kids who would love to ride, but the M1008 has the beefier axles and transfer case. I can swap all of these components out in the future, but I'm trying to get the best bang for my buck right out the gate.
Will the M1009 still be capable enough offroad to keep a 4WD noob happy? Is it worth giving up the cool factor and rear seat on the M1009 for the beefier driveline? Anyone ever bought surplus at auction and have an experience to share? Thanks for any input! These aren't the specific trucks I'm looking at, but this post seemed a waste with no pictures: |
