Did rotor/hubs on front, pads, repacked wheel bearings and calipers last night. Drove the 1009 100 miles to airport this am and thank goodness no issues.

wheels and tires for 1009 I picked up a set of wheels and tires for my 1009... found these 16"X7" steel 'rockcrawlers' and I just so happened to have 7 'spare' goodyear wrangler MT/R's (4 new and 3 used) tires for them... want to go to 16"s on the Blazer.... get load range E tire on there...

And got to meet 'hokie8358' today while I was picking up this crack free dash I snagged from ebay Saturday... always nice to find a member that isn't too far away. Nice ride hokie8358... remind me to never ever drag race you... that was one nice 1008 you were driving. Can't wait to put in my...

Got 1008 painted more pics on the CUCV pics page

KM2's Great tire! They make them in the 285/75 and my FAVORITE on the CUCV 255/85.... 3cm's narrower, but about 1.5cm's taller... and the 255 is normally cheaper. Good tire and I plan buy them when my current 255/85 mud dawgs die.... won't be long. and kudos for sending pics

Finally got my hi-lift jack mounted this past weekend. Chose the rear wheel well as location... not my favorite, but should work find considering jack can be removed easily. 1st I measured with detail, then drilled the holes for all 8 bolts. I then sanded, prepped, and painted the drilled areas...

Put a rubber floormat in recently. Wife got it for me from JC Whitney. Had to do some trimming... cleaned floor and painted with woodland paint. I also added 'extra' carpet padding to help with sound deadning. This worked well along with new door seals I put in. New rubber floor is great...

Let us know how the shocks do! Hard to find "Made in USA" in the replacement part world...

ohh yeah, that death wobble is a B.... I did the same thing with a steering stabilizer and I also put in a 'slightly used' steering box and that really helped. Picked it up at the junkyard. No play in steering now. I still have to get shocks, just now sure which ones.

Salvage Yard Found this on page fpr 'salvage yards' Great yard in Western NC near Hendersonville that is all MV. Chief_919 I think it the one that posted it on the salvage yard link. No web page and I don't think he wants one either, but I have really gotten lots of parts from him and he...

trailer Picked up a great 101a2 trailer the other week. Mint condition... until I start to haul wood, mulch, and some rock... Not even a scatch on it and all the lights work great, parking brakes, and surge breaks really help. :D

other electrical Rebuilt Gen 1 and added new plugs to both Alternators... these were OTS at the parts store and with the old broken ones replaced I got good voltage. Use the dielectric grease on all connectors and things seam to work great. Picked up a 'boat trailer' LED light and wired this...

interior mods Added a 12v fuse block (posted in past) I picked it up at a chain parts store and wired it to bat1 for 12v power. Has 6 circuits. So far I have 12v outlet and my CB wired to it. Hope to add my rechargable light, driving lights, and maybe a radio. I will use a relay for the...

New Tires= 255/85-16 Put on Mud Dawg 255/85-16 Good size for the truck's wheel and are about 1/2" taller then the 285/75. Don't rub a bit and sure does drive nice since changing from the old gov tires.

Able to snap a few pics today... been working on truck for about 6 months. Picked up at a local used car dealer that bought entire lot of them from GL... I got a great deal on a 'fixer upper' that the dealer had put a 12v starter on and was having 'starter trouble'... guys, I couldn't have...
