    Vaccum pump for 6.2l

    Floor jack storage

    Another idea someone may find useful, behind the spare tire, was a lot of wasted space, made a little "shelf" that bolted to the larger bolts holding down the tire carrier, one on the wheel tub and one on the floor.

    Weird electrical issue

    Something I ran into yesterday, that is to say is very weird. I have a 1986 M1009, it has been converted to 12v system. Installed a USB charger port, and a aux cig lighter port. We went on a 120+ mile road trip to pick up some fenders, and since it was in the mid 90's in central Illinois, it was...
