The ones I had previously on my CUCV are here. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/the-weeniewagun-v3.205898/page-2#post-2512980 Those have a fuzzier cutoff - and also damn bright. Those are also the same as the ones that I currently have in my M1031. I will be selling my M1031 so I will...

It was tongue in cheek. The STE/ICE kits don't provide enough usable information on the CUCVs to make the price worth it. I think you get something like voltage from both alternators, RPMs, and some other minor stuff that's easily checked. I just saw the $250 price tag and was amazed, then...

I saw this pop up and was OMG WHERE DO I SEND MONEY?! ... then saw 2007.. and was like.. oh god. .no... someone necro'd a thread didn't they.:( Thanks for getting my hopes up, mdnrenergy!! (also, welcome). Please pay attention to post dates - this forum has been around a bit.

The CUCV has multiple things working against it when it comes to glow plugs. 1. The power comes from the 24V bus across a large resistor on the firewall. This resistor, in combination with the ~.5-1 ohm resistance of ALL 8 glow plugs drops voltage to around 10-12V. These glow plugs are in...

So, in between not crapping my pants or throwing up (food poisoning) and being that the Weenie bought an M1009 and researched some of the brighter headlights since he hasn't needed to buy new ones in like 5 years and technology is constantly changing... Y'all know (or at least should know) how...

I sure do miss being 200 lbs.... That was about 200 lbs ago ....:cry:

This followed me home last Friday. The guy who sold it to me is a member here, but not sure about his user name. I originally declined to buy it, because it had a lot of weird things about it, but in the end decided to put down a little more money than I wanted, and seller took a nice chunk...

The last couple cucvs I went with 12v plugs and bypassed the controller and relay ( it's a cucv thing). It's my understanding that (s)wellemans are to be avoided - but is there any other option at this point? Looking for a self regulating plug that won't swell and will last a while. I plan...

I often find DMV/MVA/DOL doesn't know #(%&. In fact, in my AO, DOL is actually giving out information that's contrary to state law. They state that ANY vehicle over 26K requires a CDL - when both the RCW and WAC (State law and adminstrative code) BOTH say that a CDL is only needed for vehicles...

The true and accurate answer is.... It depends. Some states have NON-CDL class A and B licenses that are required to drive anything over 26K lbs if not in commerce, even an RV - Like Texas Some states define ANY vehicle with 3 axles as commercial, and require a CDL - Like California Some...

There is a local PNW Steel Soldiers facebook page. We usually crosspost here and there for events but there are members who are on FB that aren't on here so some things get missed.

Yukon is local to me. They have a very solid reputation here. Some of their stuff is imported, though.

Doesn't matter. TCW3 is basically a more refined, usually synthetic, version of ye olde 2 stroke oil with a better additive package that resists moisture issues and has added friction modifiers over base 2 stroke oil.

I've painted a couple vehicles - 5 tons and CUCVs. I just took a 240 grit orbital and did a once over. I use grease or oil on the windows, mirrors, lights, etc. and go to town. Only place I ever had any peeling paint was on the door sill where I stepped on it 10x a day, and on my M1031 where I...

I haven't really got them up to speed.

Have you thought about a custom fiberglass shop? Maybe one that specializes on boats? That's kinda the route I was thinking I'd take - and yes, I know it'd be expensive.

Is there a way to adjust bump stops to limit articulation? Or is that gonna cause too many issues when offroading?

From what I've researched - HRVs are fine here in the PNW. And in fact, fine for most of the country. HRVs only recover heat/cooling. ERV handles heat/cooling AND moisture. ERVs are needed in the south and southeast (not so much the southwest) due to high humidity levels. If you're staying in...

Looks pretty easy to duplicate.
