That's EXACTLY what I said to the SAAB mechanic. He just shrugged and said that's what SAAB told them. They replaced BOTH mirrors and used some kind of special polymer two part glue. One part on the mirror, the other part on the plastic part of the mirror. They taped them in place and told...

Plug and play to your hearts content Gear Ratio Calculator Personally, I'd swap in a set of axles from an 08 and then put the gears at 3.73's. MUCH heavier drive train, including larger axle shafts, and either the 3.53's or the 3.73's are supposed to deliver the best mixture of mpg vs hp...

OK, they 'hook up' via a 1" pin through the shackle bars front or back. When attaching to the front of a truck, you are generally pulling it. But the neat thing is you can hook it to the rear of the truck (via the pintle or shackle bars) and push the truck where you want it. I can pull a...

I actually talked to a retired motor pool Sgt about that part - the gray replacement dash pads. He told me that's the way the came from GM - and the DID have some paint, but no one in the motor pool was willing to spray it on. if you didn't do it correctly, well you know. Yes, seat belts...

I've got an M1028A2 and an M1009. With the correct military tow bar, it makes a great package for sure. I love this setup. I can run the Blazer at highway speeds. The M1028A2 will do 65, but it only gets 10 mpg at that speed. But it will handle a load for sure. The only mod I'd make to the...

First and foremost, GM has the date of manufacture PRESSED INTO THE BACK OF THE PAD. So you KNOW when it was made. At least the one I BOUGHT had it pressed in the back. AND I'm talking about a steel form, covered in some form of foam and then the vinyl pressed around that. It IS an OEM spec...

OK, I finally got the power switch for the whoopee lights mounted. Pix worth a thousand words... I still have to permanently mount the power supply. I know where and as soon as I get ONE more connector replaced, I can finish this sucker up.

Then come on out to Denver Stitch. I'll let you REMOVE MINE and inspect it. Then you TOO will understand. Until then, PLEASE STOP SAYING GM DOES NOT MAKE NEW DASH PADS. They do. They are correct and they are they are the MOST EXPENSIVE ONE OUT THERE. There is a reason.

STITCH. No offense. But you apparently do NOT KNOW what you are talking about. The dash pad I bought LAST YEAR was literally BRAND NEW. It had a manufacture date of less than three weeks from when I bought it. And it said original GM PART. I got it from the GM CHEVROLET DEALER. The color...

OK, ONE MORE TIME... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/39009-making-progress-summer-projects.html#post429441 http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/43124-whats-maroon-colored-interior-2.html#post568007 I replaced my worn out dash pad with a GM original. Then PAINTED IT with the correct vinyl...

OH GREAT. Another item I'm JUST GONNA HAVE TO GET. And unlike most you guys. I have to buy three of them. That's what I get for collecting and restoring more than one. And at the price of $65 plus s&h is KILLER... Just gotta budget for it.

GoISU, Welcome. First off, use the ADVANCED SEARCH feature. It works way better than the regular search feature. I can't say why, but it does. The ONLY PLACE any water goes into or through the firewall is into the cab heater. So use heater or in cab heater or something like that in your...

First is that's a pretty slick photoshop for the slantback. If you look through the drivers window you will see the normal Blazer rear window and frame still there on the passenger side. I actually kind of like that look and I too have a spare top. I'd been thinking on just up armor it by...

You guys got lucky. Great weather. Good group of folks. I hear the wounded guys all got a deer. Could be wrong on that one. On another hunting note, if you ARE a hunter, you should have a conversation with my BIL. My nephew is very good hunter as well. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy...

I've got to say, that is sweet looking. How do the HMMWV wheels/tires ride? When you get it all painted up, it's gonna be stunning for sure. LOTS OF PIX along the way. You know us, visual lot that we are. Gotta have MV pron.

I took a few pieces of fatmat that I cut to fit into the hood before installing the LMC Trucks underhood insulation blanket. The middle hole in the hood IS NOT THE SAME SIZE as the rest of the holes and the round plastic anchor WILL NOT FIT the middle hole. So check the size before you try and...

This is true from what I've seen. Though I have had CUCV's that did and some that did not have anything other than metal floor. I do understand that if you just hose out a rubber floor with jute underneath it, chances are high that it was the jute, not the rubber that would trap the moisture...

Oddball, WHAT DID YOU SAY???? LOL!!8) I've lost some of my hearing for sure over the past 57 years. There are lots of ways to quiet down a CUCV. I put fatmat and an underhood insulation blanket under the hood from LMC Trucks and it really quiets things down. Then you can put fatmat on the...

S, The chrome part is on the middle front of the hood. I'm pretty sure that at one point there was an emblem attached to it. No biggie, really. Just no chrome on any of the ones I've purchased.

I've used LMC MIP mat in my 1991 Suburban. That was ten years ago. STILL in great shape. I know that because my bil and younger sister have it now and they abuse it daily and my bil and nephew take it out hunting all the time. It is working quite well as an all around coverage of the floor.
