They may be cheaper than an alignment, but I'm not into magnetic angle finders and Jack Williams laser will be way more accurate than my tape measure lol. Mikey

Thank you! Your write up is absolute gold. Just another reason why I love these forums. The TM's are no substitute for real world experience or the people who share those experiences. Mikey

Thank you sir! I met you at RC when your cucv broke down (fuel filters if I remember?). Perhaps I'll see you at the next rc, although I'll still wheel in my 5ton. Mikey

Thank you and Semper Fi devil dog!

I just picked up an 86 M1009 in what appears to be very good condition. I drove it home about 500 miles with no issues except Gen 2 light coming on. I'll test the high side battery and if that passes rebuild the regulator on the high side alternator ASAP. I've read the -10 tm and will read...

I'm looking at buying an 85 M1009. The seller states that occasionally when put in 4wd it pops out while driving. Occasionally, but not always. He thought it might be the hubs so he replaced them, but the issue still occurs sometimes. I have absolutely no experience with CUCV's, but I'm...

Maybe I won't need that CB after all lol

Just an FYI, NAPA part# LMP 4800 ($16.09 ea) will work with the 939, if you're willing to cut 1/32" off the brass OR change the connector at the end of the cable for a slightly wider one. I had those bulbs sitting around for my M38A1 and my M37. I just tried one. I cut a tiny sliver of brass...

No NAPA or other part # for a headlight?

I have a deuce engine to overhaul and another deuce that needs a head gasket replacement, so I'd also like to know if that tool worked. I've been searching big auction sites for months for 4276A without luck. Thanks Mikey

Sorry it didn't go as well as you hoped. Looks like you need to buy a wrecker to get that engine out ;) Mikey

I have read some people are experiencing problems with Behr Marquee, although I have yet to confirm this myself and I'm not able to verify that it isn't poor surface prep of failure to cure properly. SOME people assume that the primer in Behr Marquee may be a factor as it is designed for wood...

Bad news... When you take into effect the bulge in the sidewall, 85.5" at the widest part of the tire. Mikey

GREAT SHOW!!! I came home with A LOT of stuff that I'd been searching for unsuccessfully for a long time such as a wiffle tree and wrecker block and all at GREAT prices. It was wonderful to meet and buy from SSG Gibb, talk to SteveKuhn who's email regarding an M37 I never got, meet old friends...

The wheels are not flush with the outside of the body, but I can't tell you definitively that they would be less than 85", although I believe they would be. I can measure for you and get back to you tomorrow if that helps. Mikey

when it does get wet for the first time, even after it cures, don't be shocked when it streaks and you see little soapy bubbles. I'm not sure what is being washed out, but that's been normal on every part or truck I painted. When it dries the streaks are gone. Also, if you can scratch the...

Ive used the Behr paint on a number of parts and on a whole truck. You really need to give it time to cure. What the Behr paint LOVES is sun and heat. I left a freshly painted deuce in the sun for four straight really sunny 90f days and it was cured as hard as a rock. Other items that I...

Post in the Sussex thread, if you haven't already. With the amount of members going to Sussex from all over the country, someone may have one they can deliver. Mikey

i don't care what other groups think when we're rolling. We pay to use the park also. We weren't blasting music late at night or revving engines like some other groups. You put that many people together and you're bound to have friction. But I do get stressed when we're not moving and were...

Youre just happy that you got your axe back. I was happy to see a magnesium fire!!! this weekend was my favorite rc event to date and it was my 4th going back to 2011. Thanks to everyone like Chip and Joe that put it together. It was great to see some new faces as well as some old ones. Mikey
