https://youtu.be/cWHmYOaHh5w I wanted to post this video. This was a set of HMMWV wheels with the bias ply tires. My son ran them on his lifted M1028A1 with out spacers. He reversed the wheels and ran them backwards. We weld the valve stem hole shut and re-drilled it on the inside. They ran...

https://youtu.be/_ypD8sxu5WQ I always like the vote of confidence that the narrator gives me. And i also like my passenger saying I can never do it. Stock tires stock exhaust. WOW it was Mr crusty stuck in the mud. Father with the Punisher to the rescue. Remember that's NOT going to pull him...

Never in the history of my existence has all the wood blocks been burnt. I get a trailer load of big oak blocks every week.I just built this Honda machine last week to haul them wood blocks up to the house. I was using my Mule M1009 / Silverado and a Vermont wood cart for years. I just wanted to...

Cinder blocks / cement blocks / building blocks / concrete block / blocks / is what we call them in my area. Very weak indeed when used like that. I use wood blocks and jack stands.

What are the hydraulic lines sticking out of the front cross member?

Today after not making any progress on my Easter Find M1008. I moved the work inside the basement of the house. yesterday it was 12 degrees and today it was 25 damp and sleeting. I managed to get the rear backing plates loaded up and that makes me 1 step closer to getting the rear axle under the...

Great job. You would definitely get wet feet in that one. I see it all to often. Guys just sand and paint entire vehicles and they look great at a distance. But when you look closely you see the issues that were ignored. You can put a nice paint job on anything. But it is the attention to detail...

Today I went out and fired them all up. I had a low front battery on the Crown of Thorns M1009 but the slave cables made everything right. It seems the Grand Children left the PA system on 2 weeks ago when we were hauling firewood. Even Terminus M1009 fired right up. It was 23 degrees. Yesterday...

The tachometer picture I said i would post. This is in the Crown of Thorns M1009. VDO tachometer. I also added the cloth covering to the dash pad about 10 years ago. The dash padding works great and is fuss proof. I don't have to worry about scratching it of having it crack from the UV...

They rust at the same places state side. So it is a design error. They were building this body for 11 years before the CUCV and it would have been great for them to fix the errors. But it is what it is. Great looking truck and I really like the work you are doing or did. Nice shop also. That is...

Hey welcome. I really like your work. I do mine the same way. Start with a bare frame and go from there. That seems to be the way to get it done right. Opens up all sorts of opportunity to clean repair and finish coat the entire vehicle. Often times much better then they were cleaned and coated...

I have bought Felpro's. I used GM sets in the past when they were available. Most of the head gaskets you buy are going to do the job. As long as they are for the proper application. 6.2 J code diesel. The J code may not matter but it is worth mentioning. It does matter for the intake gaskets. J...

Saw it in a movie once and just thought I would give it a try. I suppose you put 2 protesters on the rack and all the others move out of your way. It looked good in the movie. Seen a bear on a sofa once also. Very amusing.

Fabbing racks and useful bolt-ons is one of my favorite hobbies. Nice Rack comes to mind.

I would think the addition of a roof rack would be much more useful and less detrimental to the M1009 outer body panels. With the roof rack you could haul everything pictured and a whole bunch more. No need to have cans hanging on the side grabbing everything that goes by. in the desert with no...

My Advise Only. These are answered in order. 1.) Yes. They have new copper washers with the head gasket set. Replace them. They are not specific to any cylinder and just keep them in a clean dry place. 2.) My opinion. I have replaced mine on several CUCV's I use the Diesel Care specials. No...

I also want to mention that minor leaks in head gaskets can make a 6.2 run cooler. I know from experience. it just seemed to get a little worse over a 5 year period. But I have seen a great increase in heat inside the cab since I changed my head gaskets and radiator. That seems to hold true on...

I was looking at these pictures and trying to figure out why I was hauling the truck on the trailer. And then I looked at the truck sitting at the barn and seen it was missing the rear bumper and the wires were dangling. Then I remembered why. It was ready to go have the bed Line X'ed. I removed...

I found these pictures today while I was looking around at some parts I had stored. These were in a parts file on my computer. That is my 1985 CUCV M1028. I have sold it and it is long gone. It was a beautiful truck and was like brand new inside and out. That was my brand new pick up truck...
