Very Nice.

Took the opportunity to lube and clean inside the door. The windows really worked alot better after the wd40. Just hold the window as you roll it so it wont fall off track. Insert the new lock and make sure it goes in the slot on the arm inside the door. Put the retaining clip on inside of...

Inside door looking at lock (pic 1). I cut the paint from around outside so it wouldnt peel back when I pulled it out (pic 2). Pulled clip from cylindar inside door (rusty part of pic 1). This is easier if you give it a shot of wd40. There is a small tab that needs to pried up (gently) to...

I replaced the door locks today, and thanks to WARWAG for the pick and the write up. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/61076-cucv-door-lock-replacement.html Here is my write up with pics. Pepboys for the locks part# DL15250 less than $20. (pic 1) Pulled all screws from inside of door...

Wow! For that price I would definately have them do it. Figure around $425 with color match. We dont have anyone around here (that I know of) that does Al's or any product for that cheap. That desert sand would look really cool inside the green CUCV.

There are a few Youtube videos also. Looks like older versions of Als training video, and at least one home made. Worth a look. They kind of breeze over the prep work in the vids though. Its like 10 seconds of prep in the video and spraying is around 30 seconds. But prep can take some serious...

Yep. It stinks, and I definately recommend a chem filter mask. Harbor freight $19.99. I used this wile spraying but should have had it on when applying the Als primer. That stuff has some serious fumes. Takes a couple of days for the smell to wear off, in fact its still slightly there as of...

Yep, but the only colors that I saw that were stock were Black, Brown, and Grey. Not sure if thats tha same for you. I know there is some discussion about white. People use the automotive colorants for white, but I hear it can yellow quickly. Is the local distributor a paint shop? or a 4x4 &...

Its just the regular stuff. They sold crumbs that you can add and get a more textured surface, but this is more textured than I thought it would be even without the crumbs. I guess you can add any color of automotive color to match what you want. They do stock Black, Grey, and Brown but the...

Its about as thick as a Dime overall, but as thick as a Quarter where I went over it again. Seems like you can go very thick if you can afford it. The gun had about 1/4 inch of material built up in it. I would definately recommend taking the top off. Bending over and using the gun with a...

I am hoping it will get somewhat harder. Still feels like the ruberizer that you would dip tools into to give them new handles. Much softer than LineX. I can dig a thumbnail into it but it bounces back. No way with LineX or Rhino.

Chuck, Thanks for the pics of your fuse block. That is exactly what I was looking for. (Search is Great!) :beer: I know that you posted this thread for help with your wiring problem, but the writeups and walk throughs of modifications on this site are so helpfull. I hate to re invent the...

Ok thats it. Hope you like it. Cheers Josh

So I decided against the Herculiner and ran over to 4wheel parts in azusa to pick up the Al's liner kit. After reading some other members posts I opted to drop in at Harbor Freight and pick up their spray gun ($20 vs. Al's at $50). One gal. of Al's liner cost $99. Prep on the CUCV took a...

Green = The New Black.

Dave, Here is what I have mocked up. The kit is $19.99 and comes with wires switch and relay. I was thinking about throwing it on the same wire as the existing light, but since its all a complete kit... I guess ill just run the whole kit and kabootle out to the back. I'm having a rack...

Hey Dave, Did you ever put in upgraded Backup Lights? I saw a thread that you posted asking about wiring a relay for B/U lights. Just wondering what you worked out. Im trying to repurpose the rear blackout light holes and am working on reverse lighting for this area. I have fabed up some...
