Finally got to test fit the new wheels. Ignore the overspray on the tires, those are getting replaced. The stock lugnuts fit but the socket is tight in the hole, so I would like to get some proper ones if anyone knows the thread pitch. Please take a look at the second two pictures and tell me...

Mine's been sitting in the driveway for the last two weeks while we vacationed at Bellows AFS in Hawaii. Wrangled another beachfront cabin- 60' from the surf. While there we watched the Army drop and pick up soldiers in the surf down the beach. I didn't take any pictures of the military...

Why do you have to wonder? Why do you assume cruising? One of what guys? What kind of note? You're reading a lot more into that post than what I wrote. :?

Tow straps or tie-down straps on the front of the truck?

Don't know how to make the video work, only the still.

Saw this on a website that lists unsecured webcams. Looks like a HMMWV with the hood up. If it's you, lock them cameras down! :carnac:

I think this is it.

Smittybuilt's Beaver Step

My Jeep Grand Cherokee has terrible visibility out the back due to the height of the small rear window, and it's scary sometimes trying to back at night because the reverse lights are almost useless. My solution to the light was to incorporate two LED light bars into a receiver step, and plug...

I learned to ride motorcycles on a retired military dirtbike. Many years ago (early 90s) when I was flying C-141s I had, like most aircrew, a desk job for the time I wasn't out on a mission somewhere. I worked in what was called RED Section (Research & Equipment Development) and we were...

That's the one I got for my 1009 a few week ago; $333 out the door.

I like that you knew the systems well enough to know what you needed to get the truck home. You would have made a good Flight Engineer. :beer:

Thanks! Can you give me some details about the O-rings? Where do they go- on the line or just stuffed down in the hole? Is there a ring groove?

It was warm enough and dry enough to swap the radiator on the '09 after church today. It went pretty smoothly other than it never seemed to be in the right place- too far right then too far left.... I still need to connect the oil cooler lines. When I disconnected them one of them had a...

Hillbilly trailer lock- installed.

I put some rails on my topper to support the roof-top tent in the summer. The trickiest part was determining the center of the topper so both rails would be evenly spaced. If I had screwed that up I would have had to buy a whole new top due to my mild OCD about those things. The rails need...

Pulled my M1101 50 miles to Ikea to get a new couch. The box was just long enough that the tailgate wouldn't close. Then I pulled it 50 miles home. Then I started deboxing and found the center section was broke bad. aua Ikea's centralized customer service says return the whole thing which...

I don't even use the dipstick after an oil change. If the engineers that designed the motor say it takes seven quarts, I put seven quarts in. The dipstick presumes a level surface and my driveways have always had an incline (for drainage). I know people that obsess over getting the oil level...

I picked up a set of 6-lug aluminum wheels off craigslist and it never occurred to me to check the offset or hub-centric. Now that I see the pics I think after five years on the truck they need another coat of paint.

The only thing I did to my M1009 today is pull the studded snow tires off and put the BFG ATs back on. I also finished making the back-up lights for my Grand Cherokee. The visibility out the back is really bad, and I wanted some aux lights. I did not want to hack up my factory wiring harness...
