    LED Head light upgrade. ....

    In your research, have you found any DOT compliant, replacement headlamps that have the LED turn signals integrated? That would be the cat's meow.

    cleaning up after a successful outing A little rattle can touchup on the rear bumper, hose out the spilled coffee, hey, we're good. Six vehicles on this trip, the other 5 were Jeeps of various vintages. "Represented" well with the CUCV: I was the only one who took the Chute, the others took the...

    poly motor mounts & ORD X-member That....was...a...lot...of...work, with the engine in. It wasn't technically difficult, its just that with a fully functional vehicle there is a lot of stuff you can't get to. Got it done in less than a day, but would have been way easier w/out the front axle in...

    Glove box hinge fix

    The standard 19 inch rack mount blank was an easy install with the nut-sert tool. In the future, if i want to put something electronic there, its ready to receive a standard size instrument. On the trail, the door would pop open dumping the contents, I'm better off with out it. The trail tells...

    Getting my CUCV road worthy!

    The conversion utilizing two alternators in a 12V configuration is straightforward. See the REC newsnote #10 published by Roscommon Equipment Center, Northeast Forest Fire Supervisors. It has pictures :) Your challenge will be understanding, then undoing, the previous owner's handiwork.

    Lift!

    I'm doing the U-bolt reversal today...hope I ordered the right kit, based on the diameter of the axle housing. I kinda wish I did this the last time I had the springs out: the previous owner did not realize that the aftermarket rear spring packs weren't centered so one was mounted backwards. I...

    24V & 12V busses I'm not sure if this answers your question: I re-designated the ground bus (front & rear) to be a 12 V bus. The passenger side frame rail now serves as the ground bus. The intake manifold engine ground attaches there, on the frame rail. There is already a hole atop the frame...

    CUCV Starting issues

    Huh. I'm thinking of a CUCV specific accessory: It would be a large, plunger type solenoid, pipe-clamped to the starter housing. Commanded by a dash mounted push button switch, it would energize the solenoid, giving a good whack to the starter. No more crawling under the vehicle with a big...
