    Offroad Lights

    I run 55w hella lights from Wally world, they seem to light up enough of the dark road between Fairbanks and Wasilla pretty well as I can't see hardly anything with just the low beam head lights. I have them run through the relay that came with the set so that they come on with the high beams...

    Manual Glow Plug Help?

    just my 2cents, but I live in Fairbanks, AK, hihgs in the 70's lately; the glow plugs come on first thing in the morning for what seems like the correct amount of time, 7-10 seconds, starts after a few cranks. Then the rest of the day restarts even before I finish turning the key. I'd have to...

    GPS Help

    You might try theses guys for getting your batteries re-celled, its where we send our survey instrument batteries, Coastal Instruments Might be cheaper just to go buy a hand held garmin from Wally world though.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    the 09 was screaming, 3 hours and 10 cans of krylon later its back to its OD roots... I really liked I think it was Combatmedic's two color camo, but I'm thinking it might need a little brown to balance out the black.

    Dangerous Situation Today With My M1009

    That one small piece that you thought was part of the spring is the snap ring. Your bearings are defiantly FUBARed. I had to just keep banging and rotating my hub to gradually work it off the spindle as the rear bearing race was seized to the spindle. Good luck with that and don't forget to...

    Hello from Alaska

    I was looking at those big boys too, not sure how much they went for but the one looked like you could almost live in the back! If you need help with the recovery let me know, I've been looking for an excuse to go into "town". I made the trip from Fairbanks to Anch at least a dozen times last...
