    Truck-Lite Headlights

    Will you post up pics of the beam pattern and light throw once you have them installed? Maybe even a 1 LED and 1 Halogen for comparison? Thanks in advance!

    Quick ? on sway with U haul style trailer

    If you rent a Penske or U-Haul trailer you will have to lie to them about what you are towing and potentially what you are towing with. Which then either way VOIDS the insurance that you have the option to purchase from them for additional coverage. If you by chance happen to have an...

    M1028 6.0 LS LQ4, 4L80E, NP-205 swap

    I picked up a Warn PowerPlant 9500 winch locally to mount on the ORD bumper since I mistakenly thought that the ORD bumper was setup for an 8274. Which is ok as I’ll throw the 8274 on my ‘63 Toyota FJ-45. I haven’t removed the stock bumper yet to see if I’m going to be able to keep my snow...

    Trailer ID?...old and rough with tail gate on each end

    Any help with ID’ing these 2 trailers guys? Neither seller can find an ID tag on them. I‘m looking for a model number so I can determine if they‘re capable of the task I need one for. Is the A-arms in the front of the second trailer bent up? Is that factory or damaged?

    M1028 6.0 LS LQ4, 4L80E, NP-205 swap

    Well…the saga continues…figures…about 6 months ago before I purchased the Warn winch bumper I posted a wanted ad on for an Off-Road Designs full coverage bumper. Exactly 2 days after I finally got the 8274 and the Warn bumper mounted a local guy messaged me on FB saying he had one for sale. So...

    404 re-power

    @Mogman Several things I can think of off the top of my head…. -Relative ease of sourcing an engine -Cost vs rebuilding what you have -Power to weight ratio -Availability of parts -Tune ability of the engine -Aftermarket support of the engine But ask those questions on BW. That’s where the...

    404 re-power

    There’s several guys on BenzWorld Unimog site who successfully mated a VW diesel engine to a Unimog transmission and a third one was done somewhere in Canada. I think there‘s a link on the BenzWorld forum as well. If you can’t find it PM me and I’ll try to post the links here.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Check out Super Bright LED’s their prices and color/brightness/quantity options are much better! I replaced all the standard bulbs in my M1097A2 several years ago since I didn’t want to spend the money for actual LED housings...

    M1028 6.0 LS LQ4, 4L80E, NP-205 swap

    I recently responded to a FB for sale ad with a Warn 8274 on a receiver hitch mount for sale in WY for what I thought was a scam because of the price. I sent half the money with insurance incase it was a scam with the balance paid at the time of pickup. Pickup went great. Extremely low use...
