Looking at the last picture looks like it will make changing the light bulbs in the garage a breeze.View attachment 721929View attachment 721930View attachment 721931View attachment 721932View attachment 721933View attachment 721934View attachment 721935View attachment 721938View attachment 721937View attachment 721936View attachment 721939This is my new toy. It will save my back many times over. CUCV is hidden in the picture.
Well I did my best and tried real hard to make the FREE 6TL batteries work. I cannot count on them and they left me sitting in the snow storm. I have bought 2 new Group 31 batteries for the Crown of Thorns M1009. I have an issue with the Gen 2 light but the volt meter shows 28 volt. I will resolve the Gen 2 light issue and replace the batteries. Can't have a dead CUCV sitting around. I left my Son borrow it for snow storm transportation and it left him sit. So I drove Terminus M1009 up to his house and slaved it off. Brought Crown of Thorns home and hitched a trailer to it for the duration. Lots of upcoming work. I will post pictures as progress occurs. The 6TL's were brand new but were tagged expired. I tested them before I put them in and they were fine. The winter put the kibosh to them. Not worth melting the relay and getting stranded. That was easy. I told my Son the bottom pulley on the 6.2 was notched for pull starting. Have a Great Day. The snow has slowed me a bit. But never brought me to a Stop. More torching and carnage tonight on my K5 stripping.View attachment 715155View attachment 715156View attachment 715157View attachment 715158View attachment 715159View attachment 715160View attachment 715161View attachment 715162View attachment 715164View attachment 715163
So I went out after work and attempted to change the batteries in my M1009. It never goes that easy and I expected it NOT to. I always do more and fix more then I intended. That's fine. Keeps my vehicle in shape and the reliability up high scale. Bad cable ends. Probably from age and being over heated a few times. Jumped a lot of vehicles with this CUCV over the past 20 years. Worth mentioning. Disconnect the voltage regulator plug from the alternator before grounding it out. It is hot on both sides. Grounded out still no light. Good charge but no light. Imagine that yesterday the truck started. It was 39* F not 3*F. Kept working at it and decided it was a couple day after work job.
How about 1009 Cut V.View attachment 722178https://www.rtechfabrications.com/
I found this site while looking for some door seals for my 1974 K 5 blazer doors. I want to chop an M1009 and make a full convertible out of it. These guys seem to be able to build some nice trucks. My build will be started summer 2018. I need a good name for it. Crew cut of an M1009.
Hardly. I am about a dull as they come with keeping up with the style. I am 100 years behind and happy with it.Very hipster Rick.
