Replaced the out side bottom out side window seals on the doors formy M1009. Discovered the real reason why my tailgate had a rust whole in it (besides the window seal needing to be replaced) As I was getting ready to pull the old ones off, I noticed somthing and was like wait a second. the...

So yesterday I was driving to work and my throttle broke. Since my truck is my daily driver I needed to get it fixed ASAP. Because no auto stores carried the part in stock around here I came up with a simple solution that allowed me to drive the truck. Firs I cut away the insulation to expose...

I used a roller to apply the paint. I used the Behr "CARC" paint formula from Home Depot that I had found on this sight. I think It came out pretty well at least until this morning. So why it had not rained last night, With my bad luck there ended up being a heavy layer of dew that covered...

Well it looks like I will have a good break in the weather so I painted the hood to see how it turns out. Now hoping the weather predictions are right and will get 5 days of sunny weather. Attached is the before and after shot, It will eventually need a second coat but even as is it's a great...

I was hoping to get at least my hood repainted this weekend to growing areas of minor surface rust. I bought everything I need and am ready to go. Unfortunately it rained today and it looks like most of the week it may rain so the behr paint would not have time to dry. Guess I'll have to wait...

Its not to bad all things considering. $30 worth of parts (well $40 since if I am going to replace one headlight I figure why not replace the other.) and my tuck will pass inspection, besides that needle problem. I am thinking that if i just glue a piece of plastic to act as a guied for the wire...

I replaced a wheel stud and and nut so I can pass VA's vehicle inspection. It was one of the four things that i failed on. the other things are a head light has moisture in it, which I'll replace tommorrow, the passenger side marker light lense is cracked, so I am awaiting a new one that I...

The rear seat belts should be the same as on the civy one right? I was cleaning out my truck yesterday and discovered the center buckle and belt had been completely removed. I had always just though it had gotten pushed between the seats, but I guess not. I probably should have known that years...

Well I ended up deciding to just grind a bit of the shackles to get them to fit properly, as they were the proper weight rating and even if they where suppose to be for a trailer since I don't own one they'd be useless to me any way and I would not have to buy new ones. I got them and the pins...

I would have figured they all used the same shackled to save money, but then again that would make sense and in my experience the government always seems to be against that idea. What’s the proper weight rating for CUCV shackles?

Cleaned up some electrical connections and replaced some rubber fuel lines getting my M1009 back up and running properly. Also finally went out and bought some pins and painted them for the shackles i got with the truck when I bought. Unfortunately I never did bother to check to see if the...
