Well, after spending all day Saturday on a two hour project to get my Jeep WK back up, and having gotten bruised badly beating out both front hubs (but it's all got anti-seize compound on it now!) and having had my *** handed to my by it, I decided to do some light work on the M1009 today. Kind...

My Jeep WK just hit me with SERVICE ELEC BRAKE and SERVICE 4WD messages. All the wheel speed sensors ohm check good, and it isn't throwing any codes. i don't know where to begin, and I hate just throwing parts at it in hopes one of them fix it. It's parked for now while I noodle the problem...

I would imagine that Ford wasn't impressed with the small CUCV contract since they had pretty much cornered the market in police cars.

If those are working antennas you need to get them above the roofline.

Well, it was ~mostly~ dark at 0530 when I left for work. Camera was sitting on the driver's side mirror. It's difficult to tell from the photos maybe, but the lightbar illuminates the entire area around the truck, from 9-o-clock to3-o-clock, to daylight. The landing lights have a lot more...

Here's mine:

I hope 'dusk' is OK. I go to bed before it's really dark out.

I finally got around to finishing my lightbar. The six HIDs across the front looked good, but the two halogen bulbs in the corner reflectors looked yellow in comparison. I installed the H3 HID conversion and got it wired to the SmartSiren head in the center console. The slider switch in the...

Mine is bolted to the seat base.

Well if we're going to talk radjo, here's my current set-up. The VHF control head is on top, then the remote for the spotlight, then the SmartSiren control head, and finally the UHF control head. The VHF body is under the driver's seat on shock-mounts, the SS body is inside the console, and...

You've been having an exciting month with tires. Why are you selling your ambulance/storage unit?

I found the skid-plate under the fuel tank loose on mine; it was making a loud chirping sound at certain speeds due to vibration. The other noise maker on mine is the back seat catch.

Pickle it with some light oil and seal it up as tight as you can. Vacuum seal sounds good.

Don't take offense, I'm only asking. And you're right, I don't have to like it. Of course, it begs the question; how fast do you usually drive blindly through the brush in reverse?

Other than adding some much needed weight (?) what purpose would this serve?

If you're going to put it under the hood, maybe it would be more appropriate to use a marine fuse panel that was made for damp conditions. A quick search on amazon finds this one that's not only marine grade, but less expensive.

I picked up this marine 24v inverter from craigslist for $50 or $60; I forget the rating but I can look later. A lot of boats use 24v so that's one place to look. EDIT to add: I routinely troll cl for stuff, using search terms like 24v, 24vdc, 24 vdc, 24 volt, and 24 volts. You never know...

The last time I bled the brakes on my 1009 I messed up and got a big air bubble in the lines. There was enough air in there to compress and consequently almost nothing would come out the bleeder. The wife was getting tired of playing so I just hooked up the big vacuum pump and sucked the air...

Mine looks like that. CoverKing's website says they make covers for our dashboards. I might need to look at that route.

I like flares myself, like a stack of two or three of them. There's something about red hot burning stuff that seems to deter people. ;)
