Picked up my 37" BFG Baja TA Military tires today. The inside of the tires are coated with a super sticky black tar like subatance. I'm not sure if this was a military spec sealant or if this was added after they were removed. The stuff is still liquid enough to drool out of the tires. It...

Thanks for the pic & details Viper~ That picture about says it all. I think that will work. I'm seriously considering late model 3/4 ton rear springs and rework / replace the front and rear hangers. I did a similar swap with 2002 1/2ton Chev 2wd rear springs on a 99 Tacoma TRD last year.

I have not done a good job on chronicling the dash issue. Thus far it has been the white elephant in the living room ~ Riding around 3 weeks now with NO dash pad. I'll attach a few pictures but I can not get the issues I face (Bent dash shell) to show on camera very well. Back story: My...

I'll have to take a closer look at flipping the stock rear shackle mounts. Torch and welder are always at the ready. That might be just enough to get me by until I can figure out which rear springs I want to run long term. Carrying 2500 lbs in the bed is not on my to do list. I'm thinking...

That was me! Thanks for posting up. That is a clean K5 Since I sold my 97 Acura TL I'm now daily driving the Diesel. What do you recommend for the rear? For front I have a set of Front Tuff country HD 4" springs on the way and I'm looking at the 1" zero rates to offset/center the...

Ordered my Tuff Country HD front springs for $170 off of retail with free shipping. Surprised that the redneck drag racing /hot rod performance catalog company carried them. Free shipping was a cool turkey day holiday shopping perk /bonus. Still waiting on tires... Maybe Monday or Tuesday...

Glow Plug Controler from CUCV electric is in. This card is a work of art! Well worth the wait... Next up: Dash lights / Dash pad / Fuel gauge. Align fenders and doors.

Licensed Inspected, insured and legal. Put the first 25 miles on her tonight, WoW it is a TANK!

My M1008 stops traffic ~ Hahaa... At first I thought it was one of teh retired neighbors stopping to complain about my latest eye sore. But this gentalman was wearing a MVPA 3 button shirt. He said he was just driving by and saw me under the hood and could not resist stopping. Lots of...

( 8 ) new glow plugs installed. Repaired missing charge wire from pass alt to rear battery buss. SOmeone had the charge wire run inside to the arear where the dash battery gauge is. :cookoo: Much of the interior stuff did not work because the black out light switch was blacking them out...

Today's behind the Dash finds: 4-wheel drive and oil pressure (Red lens filter) are MIA Wait to start / Water in fuel lights are MIA Shift indicator switch is on the floor and crushed Headlight switch was unplugged Volt meter is unplugged and there are a few stripped wire loose behind it.

Think I'm gonna pull the Dash + cluster and dive in ~ way to many electrical things that are not right. Looks like Frankenstorm is gonna kill most driveway work this weekend (Misting rain now). On the positive it does look like the batteries took charge.

Thanks! He sold his Diesel 97 4-wd F-350 Crew cab on 35's last December to step back into simpler times. We dug until we found the clean / stock unmolested K-20 Scottsdale. THis one was a contract landscape truck but you couldn't tell if it had 30K or 130K. He has worked hard since March to...

In the rush to get it out of the way and loaded up I may have killed the GP controller. Tested the pink blk and got ground, tested the Lt. Blue and got ground (Key Was off). Then I mistakenly put hot to the lt. blue and heard a PoP inside the cab. :oops: Will learn what damage i cause...

GOt it home today. Unfortunately the batteries were / are weak Almost had to winch it on the trailer. Once it fired up the first time it was good to go. 1986 K20 w/350 4-spd pulled it like a champ ~ Even with the 4" lift and 285's. Stopping was great to since the 10k has brakes on both...

I think I ran across a CUCV quick reference tech manual the other day. Looking to print and bind it for my trip home tomorrow but search is turning up empty.

Can't help but lust after all the clean trucks up on Goodyear 37" Radials's. 10-4 on replacing the shiny 30amp heater relay. Smoking the starter would suck.

I'm torn ~ I don't think there is a straight panel on it. First I'm going to clean up the electrical / mechanicals and learn the truck. I am leaning heavily toward the ORD shackle flip + ??? up front and 33-35. I'm coastal / tidal = flatland but I don't want to kill the towing ability...

Bought my first MV today :beer: Can't wait to get it home. Good: Runs and drives LOCAL Private sale 11K miles Best of the litter / least rust (owner was keeping this one for himself) Fresh Drive shaft NEW Shocks @ all 4 corners Clean interior with sound deadening. Shackles @ all...
