    M1009 6" lift

    I only wanted 4". Not wanting to spend more on the lift than I did on the truck led me to RC. I added 37s to reduce the rpms. I had to trim the fenders a bunch to just get it off the trailer. 6" was the only lift I could find for the k30 with the exception of ORD. They were way to expensive with...

    M1009 6" lift

    That's what I hear but don't understand the logic? The driveshaft is coming out of the transfer case and is rubbing the crossmember. If I lower the TC how does it not reduce the angle? It's looking like I'll be pulling the crossmember to replace the TC mounts and cut out a clearance spot for the...

    M1009 6" lift

    I was thinking about cutting out a space for the ujoint on the cross member. Just didn't think I would need to do this. Doesn't the motor mounts keep the motor in line and not move it? another thing I noticed is the motor sounds different now. Rpm specific. Is there anything else I might be...

    M1009 6" lift

    Trying to not start another thread. Installed 6" RC lift on my 1008. My front driveshaft at the TC is rubbing on the cross member. I used the stock hardware to drop the TC but it's still rubbing pretty bad. Can I make my own drop spacers and if so, how big should they be? Hoping to tap the...

    Confusing 12 volt conversion.

    Sounds like the alternator is bad. As mentioned, load test the batteries and replace the alt. I got a 100 amp from autozone for less than $100 brett

    Corportate and AAM 10.5" 14 bolt hybrid. Thoughts and advise please

    Honestly I hate to see your wanting to strip a perfectly good axle. Why don't you just order the 4.56 ring and pinion and a Detroit locker for your axle that already has the disk brakes? You could sell the cucv axle to pay for most of it brett

    Adventures Of My New M1101 2010 Silver Eagle

    I think I paid around $400 for mine. Complete except the canvas is a little weathered. Sun had been rough on the zippers. I love how useful the trailer is and would like to pick up another. My current one is my mobile workshop. Texandy-8 th400s huh? Pretty good deal? brett

    Adventures Of My New M1101 2010 Silver Eagle

    I am in the market. Just need two I think. Mounted all my 37s do dually rims in preparation for my cucv wrecker build. It looked funny with dually wheels on the rear with the srw bed so I robbed my 1102 for its wheels and tires but the front still has the dually wheels. Would like to be able to...

    Talk about a make me jealous post! Congrads for winning those. You got a great deal! If you end to not hitting a tree, keep me in mind! brett

    Bay Village, Ohio pickup and transport to GA Rally. Dually rear fenders.

    How in the world did you score those? I was scouring the world for a set! If you don't mind me asking, what did those set you back? brett

    CUCV community tool box

    i have the 60gs waiting to go in. Only need about 2-3 seconds with the glow plugs on for her to start right up. This winter should be a good test to how they are performing. Brett

    East Texas micro-rally!

    Haha! Thanks. Need the lifting abilities! When I get it blasted and corrected, I might have to give you a hollar. I don't have any trees large enough to use as an anchor thus the need for a gantry crane! brett

    East Texas micro-rally!

    If you need a place in tx to park your wrecker for a few weeks you can use my place. Just figured I'd throw it out there. Sure would come in handy for my wrecker conversion! however, if you come across a gantry crane in your travels please let he know. I'll try to make it to CS. I'm about 40...

    Rusty, Recovry and Panzerwillie's Wrecker Builds

    I measured them both. I wish we had the AC conversation earlier! I wonder if it would be easier to move the axle back of cut the fenders wide on the front. Here I thought this wasn't going to be a headache! I'm really only concerned with how to safely and easily move the bed around to weld...

    Rusty, Recovry and Panzerwillie's Wrecker Builds

    If I remember right, the ca length is within 1". The only thing that concerns me is I might have to cut about three inches off the rear of the frame. I'll go out and measure everything again. Brett

    Rusty, Recovry and Panzerwillie's Wrecker Builds

    Here's a current pic of truck, wrecked bed in pieces and the reason my wife is less than thrilled I'm building a wrecker! The house isn't going to be yellow either! Brett

    I would love to get in on this. When my glow plugs take a dump a removal tool would sure be handy! Brett

    Rusty, Recovry and Panzerwillie's Wrecker Builds

    Been tearing apart the bed to prepare for sand blasting. Not making the progress I wanted to with the weather being a little on the warm side, building our house and smashing my finger which blew it open! So far the boom is apart and all the electrical is stripped. I have been pricing elec/hyd...
