    First “Legal” Trophy

    I keep a beach blanket over the seat. There’s a lot of minor rust that needs to be attended to and one large chunk at the driver’s side door. I’ve been practicing my air gun spraying so I don’t waste any paint as it’s the same batch the truck was painted in years ago. Thanks for the positivity!

    M1008 Snow Plow Set Up

    I’ve plowed the last two years with a belt driven system off 12 volts. Never been a problem.

    First “Legal” Trophy

    Monster entered a show in Danbury, Ct over the weekend and scored 80/100 getting a second place trophy. This was the first registered show I entered and got a trophy. The first one I was only accompanying my son to where his friends were. The second one I received was merely a fluke. This was a...

    86 M1008 Drum Brakes

    No leaks at all in this drum. The OTHER one has a little leak. I’ll try to get the bearing out next time. Luckily, the brakes are still manageable. Though they do need attention. The worst thing is doing anything the first time. Why can’t we just start with the second time around and have it...

    86 M1008 Drum Brakes

    Yes, it can spin freely. I can get it off maybe 2” and then nothing. No wobble. Just changed the differential fluid recently. Can’t do pics right now…put it back together because I need it for transportation.

    86 M1008 Drum Brakes

    Trying to change the drums but they won’t move. Any videos on removal and installation anywhere? Got as far as removing spindle nut. Wheel bearing looked like it wanted to come out but it wouldn’t. Can’t find Jack anywhere. Also…are the shoes and drums the same as an 86 K30? Thanks in advance!

    Surprise Win

    Went to a car show with my kid on 9/11 so he could visit with his friends. On arrival I was ushered into a parking space with other show vehicles. Had fun yip yapping with everyone there while my kid was with his friends. They awarded 3 trophies that night. One to a fire rig, one to a 31 Model T...

    Don’t know Glow!

    What causes your glow plug light to shut off early? Real new at this but I’ve gleaned enough to know they need to fully heat before ignition. Now the light goes off after 6 or 7 blinks. Won’t start. Figure it’s not hot enough. Wait for the equivalent of 13 and Monster starts up. Reasons?? Btw...

    What d30 12v glow plug

    D30 novice looking to gain the mask of knowledge and enlightenment. Learning day by day. My Monster is an 86 D30 M1008 converted from 24v to 2 12v. What series of 12 v glow plugs should I be purchasing and from who? When starting up in the mornings, glow light flash for 7/8 times. Won’t start...

    Warbirds

    Anyone going to Warbirds in Reading, Pa behind the Airport at MAAM the 1st weekend in June? Me and my kid are taking the M1008 out for a spin from Ct and would enjoy meeting any members. We’ll be there all three days.
