    How to clean/degrease engine?

    There is a great trick to keeping it clean. First if it is already very dirty you need to clean it. But then everytime you change the oil you can spay it off. Get a spray bottle. They are cheap even at dollar stores. Then mix water and dish soap like palmolive. Not too much soap. But after...

    Digital Carc

    That rocks! I might just try to make my own stencils and use the woodland colors in the kit I am about to order. I will start with a quarter panel to see if it worked. I have really wanted a plotter for a few other projects.

    6.2 to 6.5

    So a trip to the junkyard this weekend and even a new turbo will be far less than 2k for a banks. Now I just need to get the engine balanced. Then just figure out the right balance of dropping the compression and raising the boost. Saving money works for me!

    CUCV Worn out TH400 transmission???

    I had an automatic transmission shift hard and at high RPM's just before it left me on the side of the road. You might just want to get it rebuilt and a new turque converter. The slipping sounds more like the torque converter. The TH400 is easy so it is relatively cheap to rebuild. I am going to...

    6.2 to 6.5

    I was hinking about the same swap. I will have to rebuild my engine so I thought about just getting a 6.5 already with a turbo if my engine is too bad. The Banks is expensive so I wanted to know what the difference is. What parts interchange? I may just go to a junkyard, rebuild it and upgrade...

    Broken down need help

    Yeah the guy had to think of a truck that had that engine. Most auto parts have to look up by vehicle. So if you custumize you have to remember what you took what parts off of.aua You hope the junk yard got it right!

    Building Roll Cage for CUCV

    I like roll bars and seat belts work upside down:-D I went at least six feet up in the air and landed upside down and backwards at about 65MPH and walked away without a scratch. I love roll cages! If you do not go to the frame you to at least have a steel plate at the body. I like the roll cage...

    Primer and WD CARC

    OK Nonotagain That was great but I am confussed. So you say use a marine primer with chromates (a paint shop will know what that is) and then use then use either CARC od WD CARC on top and all is good?

    Primer and WD CARC

    While I am not sure if I can even get WD CARC I have seen some people really know their paint. I live near salt water so rust is a real problem. So what is the best primer to prevent rust? I hear the WD CARC is easier to use. I am no paint pro so I think the WD would be easier. But I saw on...

    I hope GL is watching this site.

    It does not make business sense to me. I can sell a pile of scrap for $1000 or 25 lots at an average of $50 that would be $1250. Yeah some may go for $10 and some $125. But with shipping some theings I might pay $100 maybe even $150 but when it starts at $150 and that is the most I will pay it...

    Ordering paint this week... Sherwin Williams CARC or Rapco/Gillespie?

    I am going to need to get some paint from longpoint. When I called the guy acted like it was some top secret stuff that I should not even know about. So if someone is in the Houston area and bought it let me know. Maybe I will have to make a rod trip just to get stupid paint. But I want my M1009...

    Replacing the pintle hitch

    I was going to add a reciever hitch under the bumper so it would be out of the way when not being used so I could keep the pintle. I would like to restore my M1009 but make it civilian freindly too. But I plan to use it for hunting so I want to keep all the off road capabilities. But what load...

    EUC - Such randomness!

    I just made my first GL purchase I emailed everything a week later they asked for revisions and for my DL which was all part of the same doc. Then a week later I was told that when I made my revisions I messed up something else and that they would like a higher res pic of my DL. I did it all...
