I got tired of the pigtails. Once they bend, you're done and also I believe, or at least my theory is, that the bouncing around that the pig tails allow contributes to the flaps getting caught up in the tires. So, I cut the pig tails off and bent the metal to reflect the 4" of depth the...

I'm in NEPA 18470. I'm in between you and Drum, but closer to Drum (3 hours) and right off your route (81s). I can't haul because I've got antique tags and fuel alone would be too expensive at 6mpg unloaded, but I do have 15 acres if, for some reason, you needed to store it or if another...

That was the best one I've ever done. Most of the time the bracket gets twisted or bent like a banana. That was my first 90 degree bend. You get better at it over time. Mikey

If these are about the same size 24"x36" I'll take 4 or even 6 if you don't mind. I replace these more often than filters. Anytime you go in reverse in a 931, you better have remembered to remove your mud flaps. Apparently I need a giant yellow warning on my dash because I never remember...

I spent a few hours tonight getting my mud flap mounts ready for paint. I seem to back over them at least twice a year. And as you can see, with a total of about 45 minutes welding experience in my entire life, you can tell I'm a grinder, not a welder. I hope others are getting their trucks...

Thanks! I took that picture but it's another members deuce. But rest assured pictures, even the ones posted in previous RC threads, don't do justice for some of the inclines and white knuckle driving you'll see and do. Every video I've seen going up or coming down into Lake Christy seems...

I'm not sure if you're bringing a tent or plan on sleeping in your truck. But just a helpful time, if you and your brother plan to sleep in the back of your truck, you WILL want to remove your cargo cover before wheeling or it will get damaged. Of course you'll have plenty of people to help...

This summer I went to cut up a fallen tree with my chainsaw. I didn't realize there was pressure built up in the gas can, it wasn't bulging or anything obvious and the thought never even crossed my mind. As I was preparing the saw out in the yard, I pressed the handy dandy button on the gas...

Here's a pic form the fall rally. The weather was great. The people in our group were great. Good times were had by all! If you're on the fence about going, do it, you won't regret it. Mikey

You should still download and read the operators manual. If you drove it home with no lights, then you also drove home with no brake lights or turn signals. Mikey

I know this thread is "what have you done to your cucv", not what has your mechanic done lol. I just got the M1009 a month ago today. I was going to tear down and inspect the front end, among other things, in the spring when it got warm. But the alignment being so far off was annoying. That...

Saturday I got an alignment done at Jack Williams. Well worth the $83. The toe was so far off that it didn't register on the machine. The steering wheel was cocked at a 45 degree angle. The difference with the alignment done is like night and day. They said they could not do camber or...

Got my CB installed. Mikey

Anyone who is interested in a convoy starting on 81 south near Scranton, let me know. I'm pretty sure Zach and I will be traveling together on Friday afternoon from 18470 in NEPA. If we get enough people interested, we can coordinate a meeting to attempt to accommodate everyone. Mikey

I'll be there, probably with 2. I'll arrive Friday night and leave Sunday and I'll probably have the M931A2. Mikey

There will be a new "official thread" for the spring rally soon. It would be best to wait for the spring rally thread to discuss dates so that we have all the comments and recommendations in the appropriate thread. Thanks Mikey

Last week I swapped out the driver side alternator. Funny thing is I got an itch to do this at 8pm and 12f with a wind chill of about zero. I need a heated garage! I have two rebuild kits on the way and I'll rebuild the passenger side and the one I took out and use that as a spare. I...

I also average 6.5mpg with my M931A2 and I'm meticulous about logging my miles between fill ups, so my figures are pretty accurate for my truck. That being said, there are a lot of members who claim 10mpg in a 939a2. I live in the mountains and I do like to cruise at 60 on highways, so I'm...

I see that truck leaning more towards the bad side than the good side as snow melts and the ground gets softer. The million dollar question is how many inches might the passenger side sink. A few inches and she might be ok. Another 10" or more and she will roll. It's a shame you can't anchor...

I've installed a non isolated alternator on the driver side of my M1009, DL7157 from Autozone. I understand it can only be used on the driver side and I understand it is not isolated. However, I'm not sure what I should do with the two ground cables that were connected to the isolated...
