LOL! No, I use 70lb tubes. Had them for a couple of years now and no leaks. Simple and easy "traction" enhancer for snowy conditions.

Looking good. Don't forget to wire brush those pulley grooves !

Put my pipe insulation "winter grill cover" on, sprayed Fluid Film underneath and in all the little nooks and crannies (inside doors, rockers, tailgate, etc), put my cheapo seat heater pads under my front seat covers, 400lbs of sand in the back and put an extendable snow brush and shovel in the...

I have Deka's in my 09 and they are at least circa 2014. Still easily cranking her over in 20 degree weather !

I'm no expert, but your truck sounds pretty strong to me. I couldn't make out any really strange noises or vibrations. With zero insulation, our vehicles are prone to see (and make heard) every single, little noise and vibration that you never hear in most other vehicles. It a rattle can and...

Corny as it may sound, one of the things I am really thankful for is all the good people on this site who help us all when we need it, both in parts and knowledge. Thank you and enjoy today with friends and family !!!!!

dc_cucv. I think most, if not all of us understand that your situation is not currently a good one. That said, folks like cucvrus, ezgn and others, have been doing this for a while and are deep into these trucks. They have also sorted through a lot of vendors, both good and bad. When they...

Leather ............ NICE !!!!!!!!

I'll have to disagree with you. I've used it on a variety of vehicles with no ill effects. Safe for aluminum too, doesn't etch.

Try this stuff https://www.amazon.com/Las-Totally-Awesome-FBA_22429640222-Purpose/dp/B007F19O8G It works great and doesn't do any damage.

Intercooler ! And then some cup holders !

LOL!! I drove my 1009 to him, 6+ hours, with a broken rear differential, for repair. I couldn't find anyone in my area that knew these trucks. I am learning to wrench on my own truck, but with my recent back surgery, I am very slow and limited in what I can now do. That said, I found...

I am looking at new tires now. A friend "gifted me" a set of Toyota 16" black steel wheels and I was thinking of using them on my 1009. I also thought of upping the stock 15" wheels with 32" tires (33" look great, but the acceleration penalty isn't worth it). I have eventually decided to...

Gunny, I went through this not to long ago. After replacing the vacuum pump (didn't need to, it was fine), the vacuum control valve (top of the IP and it wasn't working as it should), the vacuum modulator (at the trans, and I didn't need to it was fine) I finally found out I had a bad rubber...

Did you build the Brushbar yourself or purchase it? Looks nice.

That's why I only drive the 09 at night !!!:cool:

Hope you feel better Rick. Winter and the cold are fast approaching. I dread heating my house this year (oil fired ... YUK !)

I mounted my speaker in the grill and ran the wires to the inside of the cab when I did my radiator replacement. Can't really notice it, which is great. Still need to wire up the controller and test.

I have cleaned up everything (cowl, screens, drains, etc) mentioned above on my 1009 and I still get water from those vents. That's why most of us have bare floors. It's a CUCV, so don't expect it to be water tight. That said, you can replace the seals (LMC) around those fresh air vents and...

I also have a Whelen PA300 and an accompanying speaker. Loud enough, like Mainsail said, but not bad enough to piss out the neighbors.
