That's right DieselBob, in order to get the color match I had to upgrade to the Line-X XTRA coating with Kevlar!?! I made sure they went far up the firewall in case my 6.2 crank cracks in half(at speed) again, like in my HMMWV. :roll: I picked up a load of Line-X'd parts for another project but...

Mine are in some 'off the shelf' plastic battery boxes from Murray Auto Parts, to take up the extra space.

Black, 3M 5200, slow cure, marine polyurethane adhesive. A polyurethane like CARC so it's compatible, over or under CARC.

My 6.2 crank broke in half in the HMMWV with more of a 'BANG' too, funny thing how it still cranked and idled, sort of...

Yeah, driving it home with the huge empty interior was a noticeable quieter ride than the ride there. I also did the polypropylene plastic air vent panels, so they can do more than metal coating.

I still have some parts there to be sprayed so I don't have a final $ yet. The color match was a $400 upcharge tho.

For the purists who want that 383CARC 'look' in their M1009 interior. The Line-X guy did a great job of color matching with their upgraded KEVLAR formula. I did all the prep work myself and drove 20 miles to the Line-X dealer with only a seat and a speedo. 8-) Because dealer disassembly was $...

Ranchhopper, it's a beauty. Can't wait to see it in person. Those new wheel wells in the back pull it all together.

Thx Warthog, yeah there was plenty of smoke and melted insulation but the fusible links held. Looks like maybe the long cranking 'did in' a battery. The alt1 was tested and fried, but the new alt1 also got hot, so maybe a battery. Switched the two batts around and now alt2 got hot. The battery...

Prior to a Doghead mod.:???: Can a locked on starter relay cause electrical problems in Gen 1? After a fast and furious battery cable pull 'save'... Gen 1 started running burning hot. The Gen light was on for about an hour but went off. No wires or starters were lost in the excitement.

This part of the CUCV is on the backburner till the weather warms up enough.

I had a reason at the time... forgot why.

NickD, Brings back memories. My crank broke in half at 4500 miles. It was a 'military rebuild' tho. With friends from my MV club the engine came out and went in pretty good(at just the perfect angle). I put the Milemarker hydraulic winch in while everything was apart up front.

And there's another one of those pesky diodes in the corner.

I just set it on the shackle mounts for a quick pic, don't know how I'm going to mount it yet. Nates4x4 will put holes and brackets on 'if' you know what you want... I didn't.

Disiple, yeah you're right. But after a couple weeks when you've used your tank of fuel. And after a few more when your garage stash is used up. Whoa, 300 gallons? May take longer then. :) And after a few more when you've drained every last derelict vehicle tank for miles in every...

When considering a 'manual' fuel pump, usually the 55gal drum to fuel tank type, consider the depth that you might have to pump out from at the gas station underground storage tanks. Extra length hoses and a pump that can lift from 'a good depth' might be something to think about.

Oh yeah, that .99 shipping involves an address sticker(shown in pic), don't expect bubble wrap or anything.

Another one of those infamous simultaneous posts, just put a pic 'in'. :-P

My CUCV is still in the 'gutted' stage. :( On a CJ. Kinda looks like this only twice as wide :) Nates4x4 - Wrangler, CJ Swing-Out Bumper I had him spread out the latch and swivel to clear the tailgate. My design uses the shackle mounts and uses existing bumper bolts. OEM bumper stays on(so...
