I was thinking four highlift jacks and set the body on four used 55gal drums. Then I can let that idiot that wanted two grand to swap the frames tell me how I did it wrong. :roll: I call the job done without going broke a job well done. That idiot messed up a jeep I used to have when I let him...
"Great condition... Water pump needs replacing as it has a leak. The drivers side window is busted out." Does not sound like great condition to me. Not even with a title would I think about 4k. You could do better on GL.
In Texas you can get a bill of sale from the seller. Then you can get a bonded title. It is a pain and it is not cheap. It can be done if the price is cheap enough but it is easier for them to go down to the courthouse and get the title. You may be able to go down together and talk to the people...
I am going to grab the frame from sermis. If someone has a shop around Houston that has a hoist to lift that would be great. If not I will figure something out to do it right in the field.
I have always wanted to know how the rubberized undercoating compared to bedliner. Which is more impact resistant? I know the rubberized undercoating is much tuffer than lizard skin, but I am not sure about bedliner. Maybe get a peice of steel and put both next to each other. Get a sand blaster...
So what is the best way to lift the body off the frame without damage? I was told it would be too hard because I would have to build two A frames. But it is in a feild now. I was thinking about removing the front grill put steel bars under it, diconnect stuff, raise the body a few inches and...
I know this is a dumb question. But does lacquer thinner remove the CARC? I need another CUCV but need to get it cheap and running. I can't drive it pink, my wife would pick on me too much. She is already ticked off at my last GL purchase. So I would like to know how the best way to get it off...
my M1009 has a bent frame. I had one guy look at pictures. He said there was too much rust. I am going to have a shop actually look at it and see. I think the rust is just surface. But I was just trying to see if I could locate a frame in TX, LA, or OK. replacing the frame may be more work but...
I got my 86 M1009 and there is a round key in the ingition. The key will not come out. Does that mean someone stuck the wrong key in and forced it? I was thinking I would have to replace the ingition but I do not know.
I am sure the $13 for keys was because he did not have any key to copy. I...
Bedliner is tuff, Lizard Skin is not as tuff. The problem is shooting bedliner under the body does not work. You can only spray bedliner down and on sides. But when it it comes to trucks loud is part of it. Rubberized undercoating does a good job for sound and heat. It is cheap and easy to use...
Now it is at my dad's place out in the country. I asked him to go out and get the number. But it is a M1009. I am waiting to see if the frame can be fixed before I order the SF97. The orginal VIN from GL was way off. I will just drive out this weekend and check the VIN myself and see if I can...
It just depends. Because you spray it on, so you can decide how thick it is. Obviously what it is on makes some difference. Also will it be stepped on. It is like bed liner flexing. Most auto paints used today have no problems because they will work on the plastic bumpers and they flex a lot...
I highly recommend inspection:deadhorse: But what the hell! When my buddy saw mine he jumped all over helping me fix it. He told another buddy in Afghan and when he gets back in about a month he wants to help too. So don't get as mad as me when you find it is not as nice as you thought, or much...
I know it flexes too much to paint CARC over it. But it works very good. I know the insulation works great. It is hot in Houston and the roads can fry an egg. It sprays on so it fills in great. The sound barrier is great too. I have used it in old VW's and the difference is amazing. But to paint...
OD Iron has an AC kit that has mounts for an AC compressor. They should work for you. Just shoot him an email with what you want and your phone #. He seems like a great guy and will call you back. The compressor mounts on the passenger side under the alternator. It should work for you.
