Here's what I got for my M1031. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QHQDLNT https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QHNBJNX

The 6.2 is realistically a 100-150K mile engine. Any add'll stressors will substantially shorten its life. People who daily their CUCVs (other than the M1009) are seeing 50-70K before having major issues if any part of their commute is on a highway at 60+ MPH. The 3 speed trans and 4.56...

Not sure how I missed this thread. Halogen lightbars draw a TON of power. Assuming everything is 'normal'/original, each bulb is 60W (standard Halogen wattage for the day) or 30W (depending on color and options). Even the most basic Twinsonic has 2 bulbs per side + motor which are gonna be...

Finally started digging into my M1009 project, which started with a bad paint experience. Got it sanded down, and repainted (twice, now) and will have pics later. Found out neither Gen 1 or Gen 2 lights come on when KOEO - front batt is constantly dead - Gen 1 light comes on when blower motor...

Round 2 update. 60* and sunny. Low estimated to be about 35* tonight. Paint says must be above 35* for 24 hours during the curing process. Started painting around 1400, was done by 1415. Paint was dry to the touch by 1530. By 1630 it felt almost cured and I was LEANING on it without leaving...

I only got the 383 green (34094) to start out with to see how it worked. I'll upload the sticker here a bit later when I get the second sticker from home depot so you can choose HD if you don't have a PPG store near you. As for the paint gun... they're not cheap... but my god do they throw...

I got finished painting around dusk. For sure didn't cure enough. PPG permanizer - a longer lasting more UV stable paint. Still an acrylic latex like Behr 4300. Flatness is good. I think it'll be a good replacement for Behr. I may have also over diluted it.... I used 16oz water because it...

So.... Looks like dew point dropped. Came out in the morning the the entire truck covered in dew. The paint didn't make it. Huge streaks down the side....roof is pretty much bare....big spots on hood.... All that prep and work for naught. I'm pissed. Don't think it's the paint's fault but...

Slight update on the PPG. 1. They 'found' the code in their system, but the code is only valid on certain product lines - they can't use any code on any product lines, and the only product lines that the code is eligible for is a marine grade epoxy. This is to prevent people from doing stupid...

Just an FYI - Federal Standard 595 was deprecated as of 14 Feb 2017. It was replaced with AMS-STD-595. I'm currently working with PPG and testing their Permanizer - which is a much more color stable and more robust paint than Behr Premium Plus (4300) with only minimal increased cost (~$70 per...

Optima's are garbage - they went to #%(& over a decade ago when they were bought out by JCI - JCI is usually a very good manufacturer of batteries but they moved production to Mexico and they've been #%(& ever since. Quality control has decreased substantially. Gone are the 10+ year service life...

Looks to be steel framing with foam sandwiched between FRP inside/out. with an aluminum floor. I can grab pics later. The second one in the list that says 'SOLD!' is the one I bought. They had another 5-6 there and what was about a month ago. I'd call them and ask if you're really interested...

I ended up buying a reefer with a non-functioning cooling unit. Gonna add a mini-split, solar, and add'l lighting. Already has 3+ inches of closed cell foam insulation on all 6 sides. There's a company up in WA that has 16' boxes for ~$1500.. I found mine on FB marketplace searching 'reefer'
