I know this is an older thread, but I had to comment. No, no, and NO! LEDs are completely different than standard bulbs. Standard CLEAR bulbs put out a broad spectrum of light, and the filter, you guessed it, FILTERS that bandwidth of light. The standard red-red/orange filter is usually...

Doesn't matter how mindful you are. You WILL forget to turn it off one day, you WILL come out to a dead truck, and you WILL need to buy new batteries. I don't need to go into what deep discharging a starter battery does, do I? 8-) $20 for a switch/relay, or $30 for a timer... The answer is...

Hood - engine noise. still need to insulate. Back, still need to insulate, dunno but carpet or not. A few posts I've seen have said that carpet front/rear and hood insulator took it down to 'normal' diesel truck levels, Ie F350, 3500, etc. I want it to be quiet, and well insulated. Hence the...

Simpler, yes. proper, no. Not when you don't have an ACCY position. :D Leaving the ignition on, without running the engine, just to use a radio, isn't a good practice. Do it right the first time.

I've never done carpet before, FYI. The pan is fairly flat. I did nothing but trim to fit. There is a little extra around the trans hump, as you can see in the pic, but not a lot. Home Depot exterior carpet 18$ for 6x6, 25$ for foam padding 6x8, and 2.5 rolls of peel and seal, about $40...

suburban seats in. carpet finished. cluster removed, all bulbs changed, cleaned and painted. got new high vis steel chain from HD.

Quick update, most of the carpet is in. putting seats back in.

Picked it up for a song. All mechanically sound, but in need of some cosmetic TLC. Faded CARC, so faded that it looks foliage instead of OD. Trashed drivers seat, so went and got some replacement suburban seats. Pulled out all the trash and junk from the floor... The rubber was all...

1. Has anyone needed to thin their paint with water? (Behr states no more than 8 oz water per gallon) 2. How much paint is being used for an M1009? 3. Which sprayer has everyone been using? 4. What grit sandpaper are you guys using for prep? (wet or dry?)

Do want!

My intent wasn't to say that those particular lights weren't DOT compliant, more as a caution against people buying stuff just because it SAYS it is DOT compliant, even if it might not be. That being said, ANYTHING other than the factory lighting is considered NOT FMVSS compliant, so by...

What's even scarier, is that they trust those people with fully automatic weapons, frags, etc. :D

A word of caution. There is no such things as 'DOT approved', in the sense that they do not get approved by DOT. When a manufacturer stamps 'DOT APPROVED' on an item, they're self certifying that the item complies with DOT standards. In many cases, they do not. There is a lot of stuff coming...

There are timers that are available, fairly inexpensive, that will turn on/off your electronics, after a set period of time. ON with ignition, and stay on for (2/10/15/30,etc) mins after you turn the vehicle off. Most of them have a 30A output and 2-3 10A outputs. Last one I picked up was...

OK. Figured as much. Thanks!

The drivers side is toast, but the passenger side is in good condition. I will also be 'scrapping' the rear seat, as I don't need it, but it's in good condition as well. You're about an hour and a half from me, FYI. :D

I spotted one @ the JY.... Is this the proper mount? (rear) If the images are too big, lemme know, I can shrink them. Here's what I'm dealing with now...:mad:

I updated my signature with my vehicle, I forgot to do so earlier. I have an M1009. This is my concern. I don't want to compromise safety, but being as I'm unemployed right now, I can afford to drill holes and replace bolts, and even spend $50 on some new seats. Spending 10x that, however, is...

I'm a bigger guy, and I noticed a lot of people are swapping out seats. (Thanks to those that have confirmed what works and doesn't). My issue is, in addition to being large, I'm also pretty tall... My leg always gets pushed under the steering wheel as I'm getting in/out, and my knees are bent...
