Any revival of this planned?

Been busy..sorry. To answer your question Ahab, it was a police package F150. I hang my head in shame. It was fun though.

Been riding for a few days. As I posted before the hard starts are almost nill, if I keep the fuel above 1/4 tank. But I am still having a loss of power uphill. And it is drastic. How can I test my injectors to see if they need replaced? I bought a laser thermometer, what are the normal...

Swapped gen 2 alternator, serviced throttle shaft o rings (fixed my hard starts), doghead starter relay, ran 12v bus behind glove compartment for radios, soldered old radiator and replaced leaking one, swapped new aluminum heater core for the original from my 85 (blows hot now), installed...

CUCVRUS, that's almost exactly what I began working on. I plan on making mounts for a water can and a large ammo storage can. I will post pics in the next few weeks of how it turns out.

Not bad ideas. Think I may just make my own sort of mount that looks correct, but can be removed for trail rides.

Then.... A period correct Beer unit. Could those be giant canteens of beer? Seriously just thought they looked cool and could be functional. I use the 09 for family camping and sand boarding excursions. In the winter she doubles as a DD since motorcycles are notoriously horrible on icy roads. I...

I am building a low profile HMMWV style roof rack. I like the addition of the rack on the brush guard, may use that one.. Still may build a mount for large ammo can on rear panels.

Drock, that was my first thought. Rusty and Stone, they seem to uniform to just be bungee strapped. I ride a lot through the Utah desert and the space I could save with that setup would make quite a difference. I thought about using the idea for an external storage/toolbox. I am trying to keep...

I saw this pic on the old Google.....what/where can I find the water carrier? Or more pics to fab one up?

It's been awhile. "The rattler" died on me last April. Broken started bolts/easy outs kept it off the road. Found an 86 M1009 local for sale. Bought it and used some of the 85 to get it in shape. New cost me 1/4 of the old one and had 6 in lift, 35s, and way way less rust. Put the hood intake on...

thank you!!!!!

Did a search on winch mounts. Got a lot with harbor freight parts.. that's what I went with

Spin on mod done...no hard starts yet....
