Cup holders. Add some velcro and a radar unit and go out to play Trolling for Taillights.

The second speaker is installed on the grill, so both 100 watt feeds are working now. I got the horn ring connected to the siren box, so the air horn blows when you mash down on it. The wires are mostly loomed up but I need to re-do some of it. Next up is the landing lights for the grill...

Looking at page 60 of the LMC catalog, I dont see anything that looks like my tank. http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/CSB/full.aspx?page=60 Mine is split beyond repair, so I'd rather just get a new one. In other news, I got the Whelen siren connected to the horn button on the steering wheel...

I wish mine was there. It's behind the grill just inboard of the headlight. Does the grill itself come off? I really haven't looked too hard. I tried pulling the radiator overflow bottle but that doesn't get me there. By the way, does anyone know if the overflow bottle is unique to the...

No, no problems at all. I've been driving it almost every day since I got it and it's been 100% even when it's cold here. The only negative right now is that I have to park it level or nose down if I'm not going to drive it for a day. I think the fuel filter has a very slight seep and nose-...

I found the clear lenses on ebay, in fact most of the parts that I didn't already have came from ebay. On the back I was going to go with just black lenses and no lights. I didn't like the way it was looking so I cleaned up two of the amber lenses and was going to just use them without...

I converted a Whelen Edge police lightbar to an offroad light. I removed the strobes and flashers, modified the reflector cups, and installed HIDs. So now it has SIX 35 watt HID bulbs in the reflector cups, TWO 55 watt halogen bulbs in the corners, and I left the stock bulbs in the alley...

Have I mentioned how really great it is to have a working fuel gauge? No new work to report, but I did take the 1009 out to spend the night at a trailhead before a hike. I like to get on the trail before anyone else shows up and spooks the wildlife. I took a few shots of the CVT tent...

I got the box with the door seals and new fuel gauge after work today. Before I could get to either of those I wanted to run by the self-serve car wash and check the body seals and window seals now that the roof is back on. Those all checked out good, the sliding windows will leak...

Wow, putting the roof-tent on the fiberglass top first was a huge mistake. I had one friend to help and it was all we could do to lift it up. I hope the seals stayed put and I have no leaks when the rain comes. http://www.topohiker.com/news/newspics/CUCV/RoofOn1.png...

GP? I'm building the 1009 to serve as a hiking and backpacking vehicle. I have a beautiful 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I'm nervous to leave at the trailhead for several days. It's great for day-hikes though. Incidents are rare, but it could be life threatening to be out somewhere without a...

I got quite a bit done today. I got all the new seals installed so the roof can go back on the truck. After that I got to work installing the Solargizer. I installed the panel off the hood with rubber washers to isolate it from vibration...

Busy busy busy for the last few days. I scraped the OEM seals off the bottom of the truck cap. Two down and two more to go. Today I installed the new side rails on the truck roof, which is in the garage. It's a lot easier to do with the roof on the floor of the garage. The...

Now that the back is off the 1009 I need to do a few things to it before it goes back on. Prime and paint the sliding windows Remove the solid windows and replace them with sliders Remove the old seals and clean it up for the new seals Install the roof rails Install the rooftop...

I got to work on the fuel gauge this morning. It never goes above ¼ tank and drops from there as I use the fuel. I disconnected the ground, the fuel gauge did not move to full, that supposedly means the gauge is bad, but I went ahead and performed the next step anyway. I disconnected the pink...

I got them from Classic Parts. Here are the four seals: 01-817 (1976-91) Blazer - Body Side Seal - Le1 $29.95 01-818 (1976-91) Blazer - Body Side Seal - Ri1 $29.95 01-813 (1976-91) Blazer - Upper Header Seal -1 $34.95 01-814...

Took the top off to change out the seals as they're all cracked and dry rotted. Since the weather is absolutely fantastic I think I'll be leaving it off for a few weeks. I have some sliders I want to install, and a rack is going on top for the roof-top tent. That will all be easier on the...

I had the idea that I would like to install a clock in the M1009. There isn't a clock of any kind in the truck, and I have an aircraft clock hanging around, so that seems like just the ticket. Now all I need to do is figure out where to put it. I hoped to put it alongside the...

Now that the tires are on and the truck can drive down the highway without rattling my teeth loose, next up is some 12 volt power inside the cab. The military didn’t see a need to run a GPS or charge my cell phone, but I do. A few years ago I picked up a three-outlet lighter plug that used to...

Well the tire dilemma is over. I found four BF Goodrich All Terrain TAs, the same ones I have on my Jeep WK, for sale on craigslist. They're almost new; still have the tits on them even. OK, now I need to get them mounted and balanced. After shopping around I ended up back at the auto...
