How fast do you run the ole M1010 with those Toyo 255 85 16's?Drove the M1010 to the Flying Leatherneck's air museum at USMC Miramar. Looked right at home there.![]()

With the Gear Vendor OD, I can cruise comfortably at 65 mph and can get to 75-80 if needed.How fast do you run the ole M1010 with those Toyo 255 85 16's?
I was thinking about using a similar relay install for the problem of the slow wiper blades. Have you heard of anyone doing this or any other way of speeding up the blades?Did the LMC headlight relay install, went very smooth I changed the connections on the grounds so they would fit the factory ground better. The headlights are considerably brighter and now removed from the overloaded fuse that was vexing me earlier. I have been looking into the LED units but still have not decided.
Didn't do much other than pay for the last two steps but finally got the M1009 back from the body shop for the exterior liner, then to the mech shop for the lift kit and 33's. Now I'm afraid the TH-400 is on it's last legs. It never ends. I've started work on refurbishing bumpers and I'm welding on that winch mount that winch mount that is sold on Ebay. Completely unrelated - anyone know of a source for plasma cut bridge plate numbers? I have the plate but not the other pieces. If I had a template I'd probably plasma cut then grind/finish my own.

Also, I know that door line doesn't quite match up. I just replaced the pins and both doors close easily now but I can't see how that body seam ever matched without shims. I may shim it.
Oh, when I was welding in the new rockers I added those side steps. I reinforced the inner rocker with another sheet of 18ga steel then through-drilled it and welded in 1/4 bolts to mount the steps.
I have not heard of anything for the wiper assemblyI was thinking about using a similar relay install for the problem of the slow wiper blades. Have you heard of anyone doing this or any other way of speeding up the blades?
Slow wipers are usually a sign of mechanism alignment or the motor brushes going out. Check motor amperage, should be under 10 amperes. If too high, check alignment. If much lower, brushes are going out.I have not heard of anything for the wiper assembly
if you mean that the windshield wipers are slow at the beginning and after a short time they get faster .......... that comes from the three capacitors......... they dry out over time and need a moment to build up the full tensionI was thinking about using a similar relay install for the problem of the slow wiper blades.

The capacitors are radio frequency noise filters to shunt high frequency to ground. They should have no DC resistance and only react to 10 kHz and above. But if the dielectric breaks down, they could bleed DC to ground. Simple DC resistance to ground with wiper motor off to verify.if you mean that the windshield wipers are slow at the beginning and after a short time they get faster .......... that comes from the three capacitors......... they dry out over time and need a moment to build up the full tension
