Well, sorta. What are your plans for this truck and what size tires are we talking here? D60's are great axles...but unless you're running a larger than 35" tire you'd probably be served well by a D44 or Corporate 10 bolt front axle. D60's are beefy and that beef costs money, even for used...

Yup. They don't call them Grenade Locks, Gov Bombs, and that G80 $%^^&ing POS for nothing.

Try GM. We had a few guys get theirs from Chevy dealers. Not cheap though. Just spent 15 minutes digging through Rock Auto and yep, I think they ran out too.

Don't forget the weak carrier, the relatively thin ring gear, and the oh so wonderful G80 "Grenade Lock" limited slip/locker abortion GM put in those axles. I've seen them all fail a time or two. Several times on relatively stock trucks. Let's also not forget that Toyota tends to err on the...

You can use a stock sized battery. It's a PITA and requires some fab work though. I've got my front battery turned 90 degrees from the orientation it was before and the hose fit by it. That said the only reason I didn't run a smaller battery first was that I had JUST bought two new Group 31's...

I think I saw it but I didn't look closely at it. I've put up a few more pictures and vids on my Photobucket page: Pictures by AJMBLAZER - Photobucket I seem to have not saved the shot with the old WWII deuce and all that as you walked up to the entrance to the range. Whoops. I did get the...

First time I put the wife in the driver's seat I gave her a briefing on how to start the truck and stuff. Then came the lights. "Pull that switch out." (pointing at regular GM light switch) She goes right for one of the black out switches and flips it. "No, not that, pull the headlight...

Just run a hose from the stock intake to the hole in the radiator support. That's what I did. Worked great. I have pictures and stuff on here from when I did it last summer.

Why are you doing this? Turbo in the way or something?

My buddy and I only got there late in the afternoon. I'll put up more shots and video later but here's the opening boom of the night fire: http://s554.photobucket.com/albums/jj433/AJMBLAZER/?action=view&current=0404092025.flv I have a bunch more videos including when the guy had the Minigun...

yes. I also use it.

I like it!

They aren't milspec for the CUCV's although you can fit them on them. A M1009 is NOT setup to run them with it's axles and highway gears. Also avoid Alfa Heaven...do a search.

Eh...seen a few of those squashed flat. It's stronger than an all fiberglass roof but nothing like a competition style roll bar.

Just ordered 5. Please let me know if there are any troubles. Hopefully USPS delivers them the first time this time.

Huh? You're in a big steel box built the way the Big 3 only claim to make vehicles now-a-days. Only danger you and your family would face was collisions with larger vehicles and that just can't be eliminated. At 5000lbs of classicly made SUV you're better off than most in their fully "safe"...

I prefer local places myself. Old tip I was given is find out where the local law enforcement goes to have their cruisers' transmissions worked on. Those shops tend to be knowledgable and trust worthy. Of course...they could not have a clue on something like a TH400 but there's gotta be...

Kinda confused by that one as well.
