I'm going to be installing a train horn on mine. I don't use my horn much, but when I do, I mean it!

Ok, today I removed the interior from my M1009 and proceeded to repair/refinish it. It came with a rubber mat and under the mat was 1/2" of foam, similar to what is used in couch cushions. The foam was pretty wet, and probably has been for quite some time, and there was a lot of wet dirt...

I'm looking for options for Air Conditioning for my M1009. Two promising ones seem to be the Vintage Air Mark IV under-dash kit, and the OD Iron CUCV kit. I've got a few special considerations for any AC I put in. 1. I have replaced the dash with a custom unit, so factory ducting most likely...

to install a modern radio (AKA anything with a disc player) you will have to do some cutting, but in reality it's really easy. Crutchfield will have everything you need.

I'm talking about the hoses that run from the P/S pump to the brake reservoir, and a similar looking hose that runs from lower down (presumably from the transmission) and into the radiator. Is there a decent ghetto fix for these things? I'd rather not pay out the ass for new hoses, on top of...

theoretically, the power steering reservoir goes dry while driving... what's the worst that could happen? burn up the pump?

I'm thinking replacing the hoses will be the easiest first step... any good source for them that won't bankrupt me?

My M1009 is leaking AT LEAST power steering fluid sieve! It also appears to be leaking transmission fluid and my coolant is magically disappearing, though I haven't seen any evidence on the ground of it. Looks like some or most of the cooling lines going to the radiator seem to be the...

i drove through danville the other day on my way to go hunting. that's a helluva work commute! I'm one of the jstars pilots on the red-headed-step-child side of the base

i had a wild ride in the mud the other day in the 1009. I was going down a VERY muddy downhill (and by mud I mean GA red clay, which makes ice seem grippy)... anyway, long story short, the ass end came around and i nosed into a ditch. No big deal, a little 4wd and i was out of there, but it...

just to clarify, i don't intend to cruise at 80, but i have noticed that this thing tends to creep faster if i'm not paying attention. my target cruise speed will be 70, but i want to make sure if I creep much faster I'm not exceeding any limits.

My 1009 is about to go on a road trip. With the wind noise and all I can't really hear the engine over 65mph or so to get a read on how I'm doing RPM wise. Am I safe up to 80, or is that beating the horse a bit too much? The TM says 55, but that's for ALL CUCVs. I know the 1009s have some...

do i need to change the oil shortly after adding seafoam to the crankcase?

I've got M1009 that I think would benefit greatly from some significant seafoaming... where in the intake system would be the best place to introduce such a magical concoction?

I'm seriously considering getting an A/C kit, probably the ODIron one. On a scale of 1 to "OMFG I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy" how tough is this for a NOVICE to install?

I'm looking to put an inverter in my M1009. Is there any major advantage to using a 24v one, or should I just stick with a 12v one?

Gentlemen!

YIKES! I've been outed! TO THE PETERCOPTER!

i'll post up some pics when it's done. basically going to fabricate it out of sheet aluminum. it's a simple project in my head, but we'll see how it pans out in practice.

Ok, so here's my plan, tell me what you think I'm currently fabricating a new dash board, and built into it will be an AC inverter, so I can have AC power in the dash. Right now temperature is not a factor because the heater in the Blazer is more than sufficient to keep me warm; however, the...
