I'm in good shape regarding organization, I think. The parts are all in the boxes they came in. I haven't even opened the Banks boxes. I'm short on time and experience in this kind of work. Thanks everyone for your good wishes. I'm staying focused on Plan A.

Hi guys. I have a bunch of projects hanging fire. I was waiting until work settles down, but it stays crazy. I was planning to do a bunch of these projects this summer with my son, but he went and got 3 summer jobs. Messed up my plans, but it's tough to fault the kid for working hard. I...

Not a typo. A manufacturer's claim, prominently mentioned in their SALES & MARKETING materials, so it *must* be true. The fairing manufacturer also claims a 20% improvement in fuel economy if I put a fairing on the front of the box. That and a turbo will give me 40% better mileage! I'm...

I would do whatever you can to keep the center of gravity as low as possible, and to keep the systems as simple as possible. For me, complexity means maintenance. I have no built-in plumbing at all. The 5-gal water cooler is usually stuffed with bottles of water. Water in a tank has a...

The beer nystery I accidentally pulled up to the full serve pump, and the attendant made a mess, which appears above the horizontal molding. A few days later, the drips appeared below the horizontal molding. The source of those drips remained a mystery, and then I started to smell stale...

M1010 box vent obstruction? Does anyone know about the vents in the upper rear sides of the M1010 box? Mine let very little air pass. There are louvers on the outside, a course screen on the inside, and a fine screen in the middle (#1 below). On mine, that fine screen seems to be obstructed...

Can you post photos of exactly what you want?

I've read scary stories about IBIS Tec failures. I've not seen a Hunter for sale. I was looking at a medium tow bar, one of the 150-lb steel ones. I know they're overkill for a CUCV, but are the lighter ones safe? I've heard units cut them down for CUCVs, making "shorty" versions. I've...

Tightened the rear starter bolts to spec (33 ft-lbs). Each took about 3/4. turn. Tightened the front starter bolts as tight as I could with a 1/4" socket wrench. No way to get a torque wrench or a larger wrench up in there. The nut on the center of the starter had backed off about 1/4", and...

I use these guys for any heavy canvas work. Marine grade won't rust. They have lots of sizes, brass or plastic, all the installation tools & accessories, etc. http://www.sailrite.com/type/Products?show=100&keywords=twist%20lock

Well, my starting problem had nothing to do with the fuses. I got a click from the solenoid, and no crank. I went to the TM, and it said check the IGN fuse. I did that, and it fell apart in my hand. I replaced it, and the truck started right up. So I figured the problem was the fuse. I...

I meant this steel option. The original dash stripped to the underlying steel & painted. It appears you have no dash at all -- an even more rustic approach than I was thinking.

You can ask. Maybe get us a group rate? It was easy to request a quote on their web site. They got back to me the next day. As for me, I'm leaning toward the all-steel option. Maybe with challenge coins mounted in the round holes....

They gave me a quote to restore my CUCV dash: Here is an approximate cost of your restoration: $700 | Dash (include speaker perforation) $100-$200 Color Match Fee *No extra charge for black + Shipping
