Those trailers are HEAVY. They make a modern day dually truck squat a lot. I see what you mean about tail lights needing installed.

Changed engine oil and filter. Mobil1 Delvac 15w-40 Wix 51061 Only Drove the CUCV about 2600 miles last year. Greased all the fittings. Checked rest of fluids. All good. Air and fuel filters were changed last oil change. Their still good. Fuel filter checked for water. None found. Wiper...

I bet that was fun with the winch in the way.

Installed new shoes. Cooper AT3s They hold up extremely well to rocks and gravel, which I drive on daily. Replaced leaking steering stabilizer shock with another ACDelco part. It lasted 8 years. Kingpins are still nice and tight Greased front end. Also replaced a seeping injector return line...

You can post a parts wanted request in the classifieds….. Or find them easily on eBay. I replaced all mine with a NOS complete set when I first bought my M1008A1 over 7 years ago. They always worked perfectly, until that one failed. Took five minutes or so to replace it and now back to...

Replaced a faulty Blackout front bumper light. Was intermittent and had a short inside I assume. Installed new one and all work great once again. I know they’ll never be really used, just like to have everything on truck working correctly.

5+ years and zero issues! Now I need a paint job………

Now for a set of Truck-Lite LED Headlights……:

I washed it and cleaned the interior and all the glass inside and out. I can actually see now! Most of the factory paint is gone off the wheels and has a surface rust patina. Debating to repaint wheels or leave alone. Body needs a repaint but doubt if it ever gets one.

I wouldn’t be happy either, but……..the things that can break without it would make you really really unhappy.

So was looking under hood after checking engine oil and noticed a few grains of white stuff under the battery hold down plate. I instantly knew what that was and took it off to clean it. Corrosion has worked it way under the rubber coating quite a bit. Cleaned as best I could and banging it...

Replaced front wheel bearings today. Left front back bearing possibly had some water inside at some point but looks more like condensation buildup to me. Not sure. Was definitely making noise going down the road Rest of them looked good Now my oil cooler lines are leaking. On to that project.

New u-joints also. Great time for degreasing and then undercoating to prevent rust.

Pandora’s Box has been opened……

Very true.

They definitely don’t make chairs like they used to. Chair is from the 1950’s and it did bend a bit, Really strong chair. Made a heck of a racket. Had to Jack truck up to get it out. I parked in the shade in a spot I normally don’t park. Went to move truck later and wham! I’m still...

Damaged it. Never put a chair in front of a vehicle and walk away while on the phone, only to come back a few hours later and forget about it. Chair faired pretty well. CUCV now has a small outward dent under side turn light. Talk about feeling really stupid.

Your correct. We just had a massive ice storm in October that had us on generator for almost 6 days. Didn’t drive the CUCV then either.

Brushed off the snow and started it. First time it’s ran in a week or so. Fired right up. This is a lot of snow for Oklahoma. I know, it’s a dusting for you guys up north.

Nicely done! There is nothing that accurately describes the incredible feeling of bringing a CUCV back to life.
