    Running everything

    ARGH. Defintely going to have to rethink this one. Stupid lack of planning. Part I wanted to avoid was a tank full of HEAT in the truck. Now a refab with a tank under the vehicle is looking much more appealing.

    last word in CUCV stereo install

    Cheapest and easiest way.....go pull a radio from a junker and install in the factory location. No CD player but get a factory radio in a factory location. Yours does look good though.

    CUCV M1008 trailer hitch

    Rider...Pics would be much appreciated. When you say you have to remove the hitch support bar, do you mean the Pintle hitch support bar? I have no pintle hitch but the bar that bolts between the lift shackles and the frame is still there. Is this the one that has to come off? SCoutdoors
