Circumstances beyond my control have entered my life. I do not want to go into detail as the situations are deeply personal. It is with a heavy and hurting heart that I must make difficult decisions, and something must go. I have decided to dissolve my Central Florida Events Mailing List. I...

I talked to cucvrus a couple days ago. That guy is a world of knowledge and is very helpful!! I asked his advice about battery cable size. He suggested that I buy 2/0 AWG wire. 3/0 is too hard to work with and 4/0 is expensive overkill. I started a ‘might as well list’. I might as well go...

I attended a local MV rally last month. My M1009 had no problem starting and getting me to the event, which was 40 miles from home. At lunch I wanted to move it under a tree for some shade. It didn’t want to start. :-( Quadjeeper used his Polaris to pull my truck close to Rayzer’s Taj for some...

I talked to Doc last night. Here's the latest to-do list: - Install the brake drums, bleed the brakes, and figure out why the pedal is so low to the floor. The master cylinder has been rebuilt twice. Ugh. aua - Rebuild the carburetor. Again. For the 6th or 7th time. I've lost track. It's still...

The hard cab has value, at least it does to me. I hereby modify my earlier evaluation. Try to knock the price down to $500. If you're successful, load that sucker up on a trailer and haul it home!!

Walk away. That jeep has been hacked up far too badly. What scares me isn't what you can see - it's what you can't. I bet the entire wiring harness has been butchered and needs to be replaced. Brakes, brake lines, master cylinder, fuel tank, the list goes on and on.

Thanks for creating the thread and posting the video!!! :-)

Doc installed the bell housing and throwout bearing. He cleaned up the differential and surrounding areas.

Hopefully rustystud will see this thread and jump in. He's our resident transmission repair expert!!! [thumbzup]

I (thankfully) took the recommendations of my Goodyear tire representative many years ago. I bought a set of Duratracs for my M1009. The tires have amazing wet and dry traction. I can't speak for ice and snow traction due to my location (Orlando). I routinely drive through flooded streets during...

My 2cents + tax: walk away. Don't waste your time, effort, or energy trying to rescue a green machine from a scrapper. Doing so is like trying to pry a tasty bone away from a rabid dog. Save up your pennies for a nice truck that won't burn a hole in your wallet. I believe it's better to buy a...

Doc took the flywheel to a shop to have it resurfaced. [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for posting the FL statutes, jabayer. I often see vehicles running with their flashers on. I was eastbound on I-4 Saturday night, southwest of Orlando. I saw a dually hauling a fifth wheel flatbed car hauler at 50 MPH in a 70 MPH zone. The flashers were on. I heard myself say out loud...

I bought the front wiring harness for my wife's M422 Mighty Mite from Vintage Wiring of Maine. It was absolutely PERFECT! If I ever need another harness, I'm calling them before taking on the task of building my own. Hope that helps :-)

She asked if she'll have the Mite for Memorial Day. I was afraid to answer her at first, fearing Murphy would rear his ugly head and create EVEN MORE problems. :roll: I skirted the question. The more time I can spend wrenching on it, the sooner we will bring her home.
