I wonder… maybe I can get a C-clamp on where the captive nut is and squeeze the sides enough to back out the bolts?

Cool. Thank you. I won’t be able to use that idea though. I had the floor pans replaced and the welder was not the best at restoration welding. He did not weld the pans back to the supports. I am going to try using 1/4” square rod. I will bend a piece long enough to reach past the captive nut...

Thank you! I had not thought of the flap idea.

Happy Sunday! I am in need of some visual assistance please. I am in the process of changing all 6 body mounts on my M1031. The left front under the radiator support was coming apart. On the passenger side I am not able to remove the bolts under the cab. I believe the nut inside the cab...

I did have some success on my dad’s 06 rabger. He wanted bigger mirrors. I found some for a 2000 gmc sierra at the local yard. We made adapter plates to mount them. Much better view bow! Before Created a template and the brackets

Well, here I am, having the most fun ever! I have some body mount bolts that are spinning. I guess the solution is to cut a hole in the floor to get access? What about the bolts at the back of the cab? How do I get access to them? thanks everyone!

Sir, it looks new again. From every angle and every view it is once again a new M1009. You have created a new M1009. I enjoy looking at the work you have done, it inspires me to try harder.

I was going to set it up with a remote oil tank with inline filter and an electric pump.

I was going to do that to my 96 Ranger 5.0 but life had other ideas.

Has anyone ever considered running a single exhaust and plumbing in a remote turbo from the rear? Just asking…

Greetings, I am looking for the alternator bracket for an M1010 CUCV. I want to add AC to my M1031 and keep 24v system. Thanks for any help.

Oh the things we do to make things work! my engine hoist worked great when I swapped in a 5.0 on my 96 Ranger. But on an M1031, I needed to be a bit more creative without removing the radiator support. The hoist is at full extension in the pics. That was fun! now to clean up and reseal the...

Not sure what the unknown connector is. The brown wire with the rubber head on it goes to the brake sensor (cannot remember the correct name for the part) under the radiator on the crossmember.

Good evening. A question for the collective. I have an 86 M1031, 16 k miles. Currently resealing the transfer, transmission and the engine. The only issue for the IP is that it has is leakage at the external seals. If the engine is running well at all speeds and idle should I have the IP...
