    1 ton axle swap finally done (almost)

    Did you back off the adjuster, and did this help? Also, do you think that was causing the gov-lock to kick on?

    CUCV Front Winch Mount

    I'm curious how that would hold up w/ a heavy winch bouncing up and down a rocky or washboarded trail. Looks nice though. Josh

    86 M1009 Project

    It looks like you bed lined or rubber coated the oil pan. If you did indeed do that, you will hinder the cooling of the engine to some degree. The oil does share cooling chores as well.

    M1008 Horrible rear brake job

    A liberal coating of anti-seize in the right places may help w/ disassembly next time.

    M-1008 Project - Need Specific Guidance on DD 6.2 - 69,000 Mile Engine

    I'd say (my opinion) that soft parts such as gaskets, belts, hoses or seals could be replaced. Anything that held fluid should at least be examined/cleaned. So have the rad checked, not sure the cost for injectors on these, but they may be able to be cleaned cheaper maybe, blow out any...

    Best Lift Kit for m1009?

    2 trucks on TC-ez's up front and shackle flip out back 4". Rides as good as stock. Shackle flip can be done w/ welder and some cutting tools if you're crafty - make sure you're gusseting well though. Josh

    Kinda hard to tell, but what do you have going for the tierod - looks like you've got a spacer under the right side steering arm. Josh

    Sad day for my M1031 SECM...

    I have a vice exactly like that that I purchased at home depot. I've had it for maybe 10 years - still going strong. Josh

    I've got a civvy that was given to me, so the price of the new batt and rear window motor I've got into it already exceeded the price lol. Going to do a behr paint camo job and looking to swap d60/14bff. Already has a 4" tc-ez springs and shackle flip. I had another one w/ same setup and it...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I know this thread has been dead a couple of months. But wanted to check in to see how the paint is holding up a few years later. Esp, in the desert southwest. UV here is pretty rough on paint. Josh

    Extreme RV from M36a2

    Those steps look like a good candidate for dimple dies. Nice job - wonder what it weighs now - that's a lot of sheets of wood.
