Congrats on the new rig. I also had a starter relay stick before on a previous 1009. My heart skipped a few beats before I could get the battery cables disconnected.

I had bought two that had A/C installed in them one came from the US geological service and one from a police department both had aftermarket A/C units in them.

 

[Cleptomaniac]

Also have a 4" lift, new window run channels, and new window moldings that are going to be here tomorrow

I have installed several a/c setups on cucv, dont forget to tint the windows and install some insulation, the a/c just cant keep up with the heatload.

[Cleptomaniac]

Yea it has been tinted and I'm still debating on insulation.

did you do it and if so how much did it cost??

 

[Cleptomaniac]

I did the lift myself. And ye sit is at Bob Howard. I am working their and use the shop when I'm standing around Their pretty cool about the "army trucks" sitting around I got the lift from J C Whitney for a little over 300! But then I bought a bunch of outer stuff!! The only complant I have about the lift is the brake line relocation. I'm going to get extended brake lines!

 

[Cleptomaniac]

Ok got my tires!! Love em! Only prob is what do you do to level the thing? The back sits lower than the front!! New spring packs? I will post some pics tonight when I get home.

 

[Cleptomaniac]

Ok here are some pics of it lifted with tires! No advice on the best way to make it sit level?
