    Hmmm, how about a 48" 3 1/2 ton farm jack from Harbour Freight for $45.99?

    Ok, I'm going to take a stab at answering my own question - a Hi-Lift jack?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    I'll tell you what a wise friend told me right before I started a father/son auto project - "The end goal is bonding with your son, not fixing the car." 2cents

    Change a tire in the woods jack recommendations

    Hey everyone, My M1009 came to me jack-less (there is a lug wrench that may or may not fit - it came with aftermarket rims too). From what I've read, the original jacks aren't all that hot to start with. I've got a 2" lift and I'm running 33x12.50x15 tires. I looking for recommendations for a...

    My boys have been "encouraging" me to do something similar.

    Not sure exactly, but I'd guess around 200lbs. 2 men can pick it up; 3 people makes it even easier.

    We had a pretty good thunderstorm last night with a strong wind, and the frame withstood it.

    Did you make that, or buy it? If you bought it, does the seller have a website?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Well, on further review, as my youngest son used to say: "I've changeded my mind." There isn't as much side-to-side flex as I thought there'd be after all. I'll keep a close eye on it during our next windy day, and see what happens.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    The cap is on the frame and it's holding it up. I realized yesterday, right after I built it, that I need diagonal bracing too. Back to Home Depot I guess.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    I made a frame to put my topper on. It is 2' high, 3' wide, and 4' deep. The white part is 3/4" schedule 40 PVC pipe; the dark part is 3/4" metal pipe. I was originally going to use 2" PVC, but my local Home Depot didn't have 2" corner fittings. Also, the friendly associate who helped me told...

    1984 CUCV M1009 build thread

    I agree. Are you talking about mounting new lights inside the existing BO openings in the back bumper? Has anyone done that before? It is kind of small and low; however, any additional light would be helpful. I wonder if some of those little LED driving lights would fit?

    Small leak from rear transmission

    Well, I got her back from the mechanic today and I did have a leaking pinion seal, AND water in the rear differential. (I've got to stop listening to my 14 yo son - "I think we can make it through Dad!" We didn't; but, after a few minutes of submerged forwards and backwards straining, we were...
