I still have not messed with it. The only thing I can try is to attach it to the other wire, but I never tried. I just turn it off whenever I engage the hubs.

The reasons for me were: 1. Much harder for someone to steal 2. Retains the tow hooks 3. Does not stick out off the front of the truck as far 4. Stronger, more solid, and secure mount. To temporary mount to the tow hook brackets you have to leave a certain amount of loosness so you can install...

I finally got around to installing a winch after a lot of procrastinating back and forth about which way to do it. I decided for me the permanent mount was the way to go. This was not a very difficult way to go provided you have a welder and some steel cutting devices on hand. I used a...

It screws on and has plastic buttons that snap on over the heads to help conceal them. This was another thing that I did do myself, but would have been easier with a second set of hands. I used a ratcheting cargo pole to help hold it in place while I mounted it. No, I haven't even looked into...

Long overdue update It's been a while since I have updated this so here goes. I did a seperate thread on the Gear Vendors overdrive, but it's in and works great. Since my last update I installed an electric fuel pump, spin on fuel filter, Warn premium hubs, LMC overhead console with radio and...

I did not do a thread on it, in fact I didn't find this website till after I had done most of it. The M1009 has a ProComp 2-1/2" lift with blocks in the rear. I'll get some pics up for you soon. In fact I need to update this thread with more stuff for my M1028 too.

Keeping the stock spring capacity was one of my goals and the rear looked a good bit higher than the front. I figured the zero rates with 2" springs in the front would level me out or come close and it did. The bed sets 1" higher in the back than it does at the cab. I will probably use the...

At this point I am going to stick with the Green. The one thing I didn't coordinate well if I were to go tan was the color for the dash and door panels. I bought colorbond in Burgundy and already did the dash, new headliner, and door panels and they wouldn't look good up against the tan color in...

Tiny Tach and more I did some head scratching on where to mount my tiny tach and searched thru the CUCV section for pics on where others had mounted theirs. I liked mounting it next to the voltage meter, but for the life of me could not see it fitting in the space next to it. I started to...

Hitch installed I got the draw-tite Class V receiver hitch installed. It took pretty much a full day and alot of patience, but in the end wasn't too bad. You will need to to some metal cutting in order to install. I did most of it with a 4-1/2" grinder with a metal cutting wheel, but did break...

The lift with zero rates, shocks and all with shipping was about $775. The shipping alone was $110. More than I wanted to spend, but I wanted the Tuff Country springs which are a little pricier than some other brands. The front springs had 1-addtional leaf over stock so I would say they would...

I didn't say what I said to bash them in fact I was careful about what I said because when I did speak to Denise she (not he) was very pleasant. I merely wanted people to know they need to be very clear on the size of springs they have so they get the right parts. I did explain that I had a...

I didn't take pics of the front spring install, but it's pretty straight forward as is the zero rate install. I bought longer center pins and rear u-bolts so both had to be trimed off once installed. I sandblasted and powder coated the upper and lower U-bolt brackets while I had it apart. The...

I have not seen any threads with small lifts and smaller tires so I figured I would document and take pics along the way. Of course some of this was completed before I made that decision, but here goes. Items competed thus far: Tuff Country 2" lift springs in front, Tuff Country Shocks, 1"...
