Sorry to hear about your axle problems. I've had to learn lessons the hard and expensive way myself. I bought a 4l80e transmission that was going to eventually go into my truck. I didn't know enough about them and happened to be stopping by a transmission shop and the guy pointed out to me how I...
No worries there. You might be ahead to get some welding books and study up, or just burn some rod! As long as you have a decent arc welder a couple weeks practice and it would hold! :)
As far as the fuel tank placement, I just used a saddle tank on the pass side like the 80's civy chevys. One...
Well exciting. If you need any photo's or anything else on this let me know. It's always fun to share this stuff. I spent some time on some of the other people's forum's and racks. There is a lot of handy hardware that makes life easy depending on what you want to do. A person can buy most...
Well, I've had the spare tire rack like that for about a year now. I've put probably 5k miles on the truck with it and it seems to be holding up well. When I was contemplating the swing out rack I went through several iterations and ideas. I was thinking that a guy could do something that...
Finished up the rack. Seems to work alright, no issues with deflection or anything. I made a simple fork to flip over and hold it in the open position so it doesn't swing closed when your on a hill.
I ended up utilizing the area where the stock rear towing shackle bolted to the frame. I tied it into the piece of steel that was welded beneath the rear bumper as well. I utilized some large bearings that would be used in a stub axle on an implement. Its ridiculously stout and shouldn't have...
Good day gentleman. I've been contemplating a few ideas to get a full size spare somewhere on my truck, since a 37 will not really fit in the old spot. I've come to realize I'm am probably stuck it hanging off the back somewhere. Somewhere along the line my truck had some 3" square tubing welded...
I might put the bike rack on hold. I found a M1101 trailer and brought it home for about 900$, so I can drag my snow machine with me too. 2x6 aluminum rectangular tubing is what I was planning to use with that. I was thinking along the same lines with a cabinet console that fit over the...
I bought this truck last December off of SS forum and I'm a ways into my expo truck build. I've posting most every thing on expedition portal, but I'm still to see a completed m1010 build into a more user friendly expo truck. I've been trying to maintain a balance of keeping the true to its...
I bought this M1010 back in December and made a pretty fun road trip from Texas to Montana via all the fun places like Moab. It's going to be a pretty fun camper truck. I've 37's with H1 wheels on it, but I'm trying to minimize any actual permanent changes to the truck. Super fun! The rear...
