What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

[SGT LongT]

new LMC overhead speakers and Radio from walmart on clearance with blue tooth and mic for the phone pretty cool def needs rear speakers but thats another day for sure

I've had that overhead speaker setup from LMC on my wishlist since I saw it on Devil's awesome m1009 build. I also like how he put extra gauges up there too. Does is sound as good as it looks

 

[jdeoliveira74]

Its sounds ok but its lacking mid and lows being that they are only 4" speakers. I am going to put some 6" speakers in the rear by the back seat. Maybe a sub in the rear walls once i build sides... all in due time!

Replaced U joint on rear drive shaft that connects to yoke on rear diff. U joint breaks and drive shaft flops around beating things up, it's usually not good. Need to check my seal between transfer case and transmission now I have a trans fluid leak.

jdeoliveira, where did you get that intake? I would love to get a cold air extension on mine, but even your filter housing has a longer mouth on it. That wasn't stock was it?

 

[jdeoliveira74]

the intake is off a gasser. I took the mouth and air pipe from an 88 stock unit. Rivited it to mine. Would like something smoother to ram more air in it maybe a turbo in future

Painted the grille & bumpers black as after seeing that on a few trucks I like that look. Also a few months ago that I do not think I posted the roof rack by Safari.

i did some rust stopping under the truck.
it is an anti corrusion covering for vessels (seawater-ballasttank covering) based on wool wax. very known over here in the oldtimer szene. must be heaten up before painting. i hope it works fine as on the space shuttle Unsere Kunden

that soft topper is pretty cool did you have it made?? Or is that something you can just order?
and that is a 1009 right?

New top.

Where did you get the soft top?

 

[SGT LongT]

I replace the tailgate window regulator and since everything was out of the tailgate I cleaned up things nice and pretty while adding some black rustoleum here and there. Also I am trying out Peel & Seal as a sound/thermal insulator. I've read on some hotrod forums that some guys use Peel & Seal instead of Fatmax. It is found at your local Lowes in the roofing department and it comes in a roll 6in wide by 25ft long. I rap my knuckle on the tailgate and get a "thunk" sound, but over on wheel well (untreated) I get a sharp sheet metal "twang". It will be interesting to see how well this works on the rest of the interior.

yes, it is an m1009. i bought this thing during my usa vacation this summer. it is from softtopper colorado. easy to install. i like the option that you can roll all sites up.

Took the rubber floor mat out and discovered rust duh and some patch work done on the drivers side floor, but why after all that work would you put the rubber floor mat back on so it would happen all over again My bed liner interior is going to have to wait till I can fix the floor

I just replaced the entire floor of my M1009 with all new steel plates. Purchased them from www.lmctruck.com The total parts were $629 including shipping (heavy) Everything fit perfectly and it took me about sevenh ours total to finish.
