Lucked out again mine came from south. Lil rust but few issues in typical areas
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
???? And this is very nice information. But what does it have to do with Terminus M1009, tire codes, skid plates, or anything that is on this thread? What issues are you having in typical areas? Getting hung up on rocks? Getting dry rotted tires? Terminus M1009 does not have rust. It has beauty marks, proof stamps and the patina of a 34 year old vehicle that got rode very hard and put a way wet. Soaking wet and went to the morgue certified dead 2 cars from the crusher and was recalled back to life and driven even harder then it ever was before. Show some pictures of your vehicle. Is it a CUCV? I will be glad to look at it.Lucked out again mine came from south. Lil rust but few issues in typical areas
That's never going to happen. I can 100% guarantee that. This current brake system will work this way till the end of time. No need for big budget changes. It made it 2 years of hard wheeling. Who knows how long it will hold up and where it will be in 2 years. Maybe someone will buy it and make a trailer queen out of it. Never know. Them again maybe not. I will need to service it either way from time to time. With the warranted parts it is a win win for me.Mud is murder on drum brakes. Learned that the hard way, 2 weeks after finally completing my Jeep.
A month later it had 4-wheel discs.
Yeah, I would've been very happy with getting two years out of those drum brakes. But two weeks was pretty dismal, and when all we 'wheeled in was mud there was no reason to expect any improvement. Adding insult to injury, they were inboard drums, so not easily removed for cleaning, either.That's never going to happen. I can 100% guarantee that.

That magnet is sure enough clean, and that's always good news for sure.View attachment 683480
I wanted to pull the axles and I was also wanting to look at the inside of the differential. After all that abuse and hard service the oil is as clean as honey. Check out that magnet. Guys that wheeled with me know how hard I ran this truck. I knew when to let off and have stock tires. I still stand by my opinion that the Gov Lok rears will hold up to normal use. But other then that not so well. That magnet is how I removed the cover. Nothing on it. More progress to come. I must get back to work.

What are meaning when you say "the magnet is how you removed the cover"?
Okay, I get it. That's funny.I am just a little Pennsylvania Dutch. We say things like "You want to go with"? And throw the cow over the fence some hay. The magnet as it appears is how it was when I removed it. Is that better? The differential cover and the backing plates are soaking in the parts washer for a few days.
