saved my 09 and 101a3 from the military police last night at 2am. Our dog was going crazy, so i get up to look. someone with a flashlight peering around my truck, go out to confront and see a cruiser. I let the dog out still within our perimeter fence and yell at them, what there looking for. The start asking me about my trailer, etc. id, blah, blah, blah. Long story short they thought it was stolen gov property since it looks so much like it came from motor t. I keep a copy of my bill of sale in the truck for just that purpose. dog did a great job

I haven't posted on here in a while, so I figured now is a good time to update what I've done to my 1009.

-New CV Drive shaft
-New 3-Core radiator
-Added Engine oil cooler
-Added transmission fluid cooler (both inline with the radiator)
-Installed my 35mm ammo can center console, complete w/ a 15amp lighter breaker board from West Marine and wired all my Aux lights and CB to it.
-Rebuilt transmission
-Installed rear aux light (after backing up into my dad's friend's car early in the morning)

Most upgrades were not because I simply just WANTED to do them. Trust me.

Rustoleum bed liner on the cab floor this morning...will do the bed this week sometime. Not sure whether to leave it black or paint it but time will tell on that.

 

[ThunderCracker]

Twlinks how does it look? Pics?

 

[twlinks]

I'll try to get down to the shop tomorrow and take some pics.

Got the bedliner in the back today...first coat anyway. I'm not a big fan of black so I'll be painting the floor when I the rest of the interior. I toyed with the idea of using a commercial rubber roof coating but ended up using the Rustoleum I already had.

Also picked up a pair of side steps to help this old fart get in and out a little easier and also save the drivers seat from it's typical breaking down and splitting. Will most likely paint them same as the body.

I'm still planning on Olive Drab, lightened just a titch for the exterior/interior.

Hi guys,

The other day I took my instrument cluster apart to replace the non-working fuel gauge.
Got it done and installed, but the new gauge reads emtpy too. I have it idea or two.
And on my next day off, I will take it apart again to make another attempt at getting it working.

And while I had it all open and apart, I took the non-working heater blower switch out,
and replaced it with a new one, now my heater blower works, so now on cold days I
can stay warm, and defrost the windows. Since it blows on low and high.
The old switch was burned, and melted to the point that it was pretty much burnt toast.

Just my $0.02 cents.

Installed some door striker bushings, and towed around a genset.

 

[Dirty1]

Just did a lot of stuff to mine. Rear brake line, tranny line, changed fluids, inner fenders and batteries. Dog head is next as well as my plow install.

 

[Dirty1]

Oh yeah, my dog loves the 08. He would not get out of it the other day. Lol!

installed bf goodrich 33-10.5x15 a/t ko s on my m1009,awesome all around

 

[Keith_J]

I looked at my M1031 today. Opened the doors. But couldn't do anything, it is at a car and truck show on display with less than 1/4 tank full and fully disconnected batteries. I am a sad panda.

I get to spring it from its slumber on Sunday, at 1930 hours or later.

 

[twlinks]

Painted the underside of the hood and a first coat of paint on the interior. A little at a time but we are getting there.

What have you done to your CUCV today/lately?

Twlinks looks good. What did you use and how did you apply the paint? What is the interior color your using?
