I just parked this picture here quickly and headed off to work for the day. As you can see I was designing a license plate holder and lamp attaching point. I think this will be the place. I am using standard automotive/truck parts I pick up in my travels thru life. I spend a lot of time thinking...

After thinking about the front clearance lamps over the past several months I have decided I am not going with this design. It is a great LED lamp I just think it is not protected and will be suspect to damage quickly. It has a glue pad on the rear of the lamp. I was surprised that I had to pry...

Not much to report. I did some final scuffing and cleaned the hood with the DX330 wax and grease remover. I painted the hood after taping the edges and left it in the shop while I went out and mowed grass and worked on my trailers. I was out till dark. Long day. Off to rest and back at it again...

Thank you for the update. Take Care. Enjoy the M1009.

I hope this Built in a Barn unit is doing well in Germany. I hope the repairs came out great from the accident it was involved in. Take Care and Be Safe. This picture showed up on my Wife's Facebook as a 2 year reminder of completion. The Goodyear MTR tires make the final touch. Take Care...

That is the look I desire. SICK. Now imagine it in 3 color camouflage with black 20" wheels. Get it? Got it.

After being in the Susquehanna River for 2 weeks this is what I found on my camera. The camera was found and so was Nemo. Win, Win. I spent most of last night fixing the unknown left door dent from last year. I also installed the painted hood hinges. After that I lowered the truck on the jack...

I worked on my project last night for a few hours. I scuffed and clean a pair of hood hinges and painted them. I will need to lower the front end from the stands to get the hood installed. The M1009's at a nice height to work on but a bit high for paint and reassembling the body. I will try and...

I still have it soaking in a bowl of Rice. I think it is fine. But after 15 days in the river I am cautious. It is probably a $200. camera. I received it as a gift. Glad I found it. It may be outdated but it still serves my needs. I don't need the latest and greatest. But I do on the daily...

WOW. Ohhh what a lucky man he was. My Brother offered a fishing trip yesterday afternoon. I went along. We went to the same place in Conowingo Maryland and fished. The water was low and where I was fishing, I decided to look around for my lost camera. I knew where I was when I lost it and...

I finally received a title, VIN tag, and license plate for my M1102 trailer. I bought it with a mishandled SF97 that was worthless. It was bough 5 years ago and handed from owner to owner. That was not legal. I took the trailer to a Pennsylvania vehicle enhancement shop and had the trailer...

No pictures. But it did happen. I managed to get the fenders aligned and properly shimmed. I still have the body semi floating on the frame as the cab mounts are all loose. Next up I will be getting the hinges and hood reattached and aligned. Being that I had the body lifted from the frame all...

Since you will probably never be filling the vehicle from a tanker truck I would opt to just install a standard civilian filler neck and hose. Use a hole saw and cut the unleaded restrictor out of the filler neck and call it a day. Unless you are lucky enough to find a diesel. CUCV parts are...

5/8" heater hose.

Does a used one come with a warranty? I don't think so. If it don't leak at the time of install you are a winner. And finding a good used one is 3/4 of the battle. Warranty or no warranty you found one. I am happy for you. I have a brand new one in the box and it has no warranty. But in my mind...

I have a few of them switches. Send me an address I will send you one. An OEM take off. I never had one fail. Make sure the Orange wire is plugged into the transmission. And make sure it has continuity. I had more than one that the wire was disconnected and one or 2 that had no wire. It was cut...

I would check everything up top. I would pull vacuum pump and use some sealer on the mounting surface. I would inspect the vacuum pump closely. I had one leak up the shaft. Only one but if it happened to me it could happen to someone else. Check your valley under the injection pump. But putting...

I recommend you remove the axle shafts and drive shaft from the front axle. Reassemble everything and see if the sound goes away. I mean at least if you take it down that far you are bound to find something. And if not reassemble without the axles and drive shaft and drive it then. see what you...

I am going to say the person that changed it aligned the seal seams with the main cap. I seen it many times. Getting the rear seal in can be a bear at times. I have had to loosen all the main bearings on a few just to get the crank to drop a bit. Others I oiled and slipped right in. Getting it...

I removed several hundred swell glow plugs from CUCV's over the past 30 years. I had to remove entire inner fenders and a steering shaft a few times. I never had to remove a cylinder head. I used a curved jaw locking pliers and went in thru the delivery nozzle hole and broke off the tip if...
