The CUCV 12 Step Program:
1. Admit you have a problem.
2. Buy a few more CUCVs just to make sure you have the problem.
3. Once you're sure you have the problem, give your best CUCV away for free to me.

This offers a lot of insight to me. Thank you Jim.
Once I get my Blazer, I'll take it for a few extended city drives and see how the whole thing performs before I make any axel decisions.
I've been reading around about the Gov-lok on M1009s. I've gotten quite a bit of mixed answers. Anything from; 'I've never had problems' to 'It blows up everytime, I had to put on a different kind of axel.' I'd like to ask all the M1009 owners if they have ever had issues with their Gov-lok. If...
What makes the gears and the Gov-lok so bad?
Well the reason behind the lift isn't as much to get bigger tires, as it is to fit better quality leaf-spring and shocks. The bigger tires are a plus, but not my main reason.
If I were to change out axles for something with a different gear...

Are new axels and differentials really necessary? There's the cost of getting the parts, then having it all installed... it's going to end up being too much for me. This is going to be my daily driver most of the time, and once a month maybe taking 60-80 miles of dirt road out in Death Valley...
Sweet. Your vids are what are making me get Cherry Bombs for mine.
Jeez, I'm meeting all kinds of people on this site that I've seen around the net. This site is just too awesome.
I have a guy who can install all the MP amenities onto my M1009 (once I get it) He's informed me on all the legality. Besides and mistaken legality issue possibility, does anyone know of any problems with having the set up?
The site I've linked sells Tuff Country. My above mentioned friend has used both, he says the quality is the same but Tuff country seems to last longer through the rough of it.
Hello all,
I'm new to the MV vehicle world. I’m in the midst of gathering funds to purchase a M1009. The Blazer would be my daily driver, so I'm not going to go crazy with off-road modifications. It's also going to be my weekend adventurer vehicle. I do a lot of trips out to Death Valley, and...
Cool. Yea, just about everyone in the CHG knows about me. Though a majority of the stuff told about me is complete BS. One of the reasons I left.
Do I know you by name?
