There's a guy on my local craigslist selling some doors made by these guys. They might be able to help.

I don't know how it did that. I'll see if I can change it. Weird, I didn't mess with any of the color settings. Fixed.

I had an old Ford Courier that didn’t have power steering. When I bought it I noticed that the steering wheel was hard to turn, after a turn the steering wheel would not return to center on its own, I had to “unsteer” after turning. I lived with it like that for a few months until I got jammed...

I've been able to wiggle mine into the accessory position, but not reliably.

Doghead starter relay conversion - a must Everything else - opinions At least that's the impression I've gotten reading these forums. I did the starter relay mod, but the glow plug thing and the 12V conversion advantages seem dubious. Sine mine is working great I see little reason to change...

I replaced the shocks today. The truck is pushing 97K for miles, and I think the shocks were originals. They all came off without drama, reminding me why I am SO glad to be out of the rusty states. The backs went on ok, not much difficulty. The fronts were slightly more challenging because...

I ordered four Monroe shocks from RockAuto, should be here on Friday.

Wow, nice work. Can you send me the drawings? I would like to have a storage box made that exact size.

Every time is see one of these with new paint it makes me want to repaint mine. Then I'll need to fix that broken dash pad, then the interior paint won't look so good, then..... I really want to do mine in desert tan, since I was flying over there during the Gulf War. I thought you had a...

Good info even if I wasn't going to put LEDs in my truck. When I built the lightbar I used amber LEDs behind the amber lens because they only had amber LEDs. So it worked out!

Wait until you get it off road. The first time my BFGs threw a rock up into the rear wheel well it sounded like a gunshot. Some sort of liner in the wheel well might help too.

Have someone weld the bolt down so it doesn't move. Clean the cover out really well, then write what you know of the story of the bolt on the inside of the cover with a Marsh white marker. Someday another owner may find it and it'll be a cool surprise. We used to use those markers to write...

Well, I ended up at wal-mart and got the Purolator anyway, but that's good info for my cheat-sheet. Five hours, three oil filters, two air filters, and 21 quarts of various oils; the PM at my motor pool is complete. I did the M1009 last, and wouldn't you know it- the oil filter was dented when...

I was planning to do oil changes to the M1009 and two jeeps today, and remembering the frustration of trying to find the proper filter using the list in the stickies, I did some research and compiled this list. If anyone sees a problem with it just let me know. The sticky list has filters I am...

I don't know whats supposed to be used, but standard bullet connectors will plug in either (or both) side. That's what I will use. If I don't like the bullets, I'll pop the connectors out of the grommets and just run some 10 gauge wire through the hole. The solenoid relay I'm using is...

OK, I turned the picture and zoomed it in some. I think I see how you did that. Very ingenious! Did you determine which side is UP in any special way?

Great job! I also bought some bulbs and cans from Popacom, only mine came without the trim rings needed to hold the bulbs in- but he's working on finding me some. I have the wiring mostly finished and only need to mount the cans. I'm using a solenoid relay mounted in the engine bay on the...

Cup holders. Add some velcro and a radar unit and go out to play Trolling for Taillights.

I was walking by a chevy van in the junkyard yesterday and saw one hanging out the hood by the rubber hose. Checked the number when I got home and sure enough it was the same.

I walked the junkyard today looking for a few parts, but mid 80s trucks are getting hard to find. As we were leaving I spotted a coolant overflow bottle hanging out of an old Chevy van that looked a lot like the one in my 1009, so I wrote the number down to check it when I got home. Sure...
