    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Yes, the stock hardware on the B pillar works with only one small issue. The hole in the seat belt "reel" is ever so slightly undersized. I was able to clean it up with a 1/2" drill bit and cordless drill.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Honestly, I borrowed the idea from an earlier thread post. Start around post #2744 and read on. The belts are available from ebay for less than $20/pair, search for HMMWV seat belts. It's well worth the effort...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Installed HMMWV seatbelts in the old M1009. A few snags with the bolts in the floor, but all is well now. I would highly recommend this upgrade/mod if your seat belts are as bad as mine were.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

I had a small, annoying oil leak to chase down, only a few drips, but a lot of built up wet crud. 8-10 hours later, I had replaced the oil pan gasket, rear main seal, rubber fuel lines, fuel pump and gaskets.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    The list is long and I've only had my M1009 for 3 weeks. Mainly maintenance related stuff, a few upgrades and hunted down a few electrical gremlins. It's been fun so far and I'm really enjoying the process. By the way, if the wife happens to ask the following list only cost about $100 to...

    Have garage, want CUCV...spoken like a true caveman.:mrgreen: The search goes on for me. Lapua Dan gambled and hit the jackpot. He's being modest, the truck is mechanically sound and nearly rust free. The sun has done a number on the paint and fiberglass.

    The starter bracket is present and accounted for. However, the nut was finger tight and almost off. It's good to go now.
