Welcome from GA, and good hunting.

Sure!

I'm officially done! I connected the driving lights last night and sprayed the bolts this morning.

Starting Friday evening, off and on through this evening, I sanded, straighten, and painted the bumpers and brush guard with Rustoleum rattlecan bedliner, replaced the carriage bolts holding on the brush guard, removed the euro fog lights and replaced them with driving lights.

You are the man! (assuming that it's correct, of course) :)

It dried hard with a slight sand-paper texture. Lessons learned in the process: 1. Spray the old carriage bolts with PB Blaster the night before and let them soak; 2. If you have one, and can get it into the tight spaces, use an air wrench; 3. use regular bolts instead of carriage bolts on...

I still need one more can to finish, and then re-install, the brush guard.

Ok, my simple "paint the back bumper with Rustoleum rattlecan bedliner and see how I like it" plan turned into a "let's go ahead and remove the 26 yo rusted carriage bolts from the brush guard by hand (meaning no air wrench) and sand and paint both bumpers, the brush guard, the grill, and...

Ok, latest update: we had a nice cool front come through on Friday (high in the low 70s), and it was in the mid-60s by the time I was going to crank my M1009 and move it from the street to the garage so that I could run the TM glowplug troubleshooting section one last time. I was expecting...

What's the matter, you couldn't find any 50in? :wink: I want a M715 sooooo bad!

I did check the TM and previous threads first, but I didn't find the answer to my question - Can you remove the fuse box/panel on a M1009? If so, what are the steps? A previous owner really had the fuse box/panel under the left side of the steeing wheel all rigged up. I pulled out all his...

I think that's the problem. I'm about to go through the TM troubleshooting section one more time just to be sure.

Someone who owed my '85 M1009 before I did thought they understood automotive electrical wiring, but they didn't. I knew I didn't, so as long as everything was working, I left the spider ball of wires under my dash alone. Well, I decided that I wanted to add a 12v power outlet. I spliced into...

Would/did you spray the D rings too?

How long were you stuck? You may want to check for water in the rear differential (been there, done that).

So, paint OVER bedliner?!

Linex for the interior floor and bed is on my wish list.

Has anyone ever seen, or used, spray can bedliner on a CUCV bumper/grill guard? I saw it uses on the after-market bumpers of a later model Blazer on a 4x4 TV show, and it looked interesting.

Talked w/ my mechanic today. No busted teeth on the bindex (sp?); no busted teeth on the flywheel; bracket on the way from a nearby Chevy parts dealer.
