I run 37" x 16.50 surplus radials and gain a decent drop in RPMs over stock tires with the GV unit. At 70mph I'm at 2350 rpm. My GV has been flawless for about 25,000 miles . Great setup.

RT 246 and R 442 in M1028 . Takes up a little bed space but the Humvee tray worked out quite well.

Keep the top and sides. They really make the trailer multi - purpose. I love mine and have hauled everything in it. I'd leave it as is if I were you. The surge brakes are great. It is a well designed trailer. The covers are getting hard to find in good shape. Also FYI I only had a Bill of Sale...
Weak battery or corroded battery connections or both. If a 6 volt sits for a while without a charge it won't hold a quick charge. At least that's how my ' 44 GPW is. Check the water level and give it a long charge on a shop charger and check it with a hydrometer .
You'd most likely have to notch the frame rails. My Warn 12,000 was about a 1/2 " too wide , but the HF Badlands fit with room to spare. Easy install with the universal mounting plate from HF. I borrowed the idea from member Shankemdeep.
Buy a take off spring pack from Boyce Equipment, Memphis Equipment or TNJ Murray. That's what I did. Ask for a hand picked unit with as little rust as possible. Broken springs are common on these rigs. Of course you could rebuild yours, but there are complete replacements available . I paid 200...
What transfer case do you have? The coupler for a NP 208 vs 205 are different. If I recall, the shaft on my install moved in when I separated the stock housing and I had to pull it back out. That might be your problem. I believe I had to shim 11 thousandths . Ok now I see you have a 208 housing...
Check all your grounds at the turn signal assemblies front and rear ,and clean same and all bulb contacts, then apply a little dielectric grease to the sockets . I doubt it is in the switch. I had the exact same problem and this was the fix. Good luck. Oh also disconnect your batteries first.
Go for it . Sure there is a chance of BS in any sale, but if the truck is pretty stock and runs and stops fine I would do it. 129 miles is not that far. I bought my 1028 on EBay from a LA county deputy sheriff . It was 450 miles back home at 55 MPH without a hiccup ! But the seller was honest...
My advice to you is, SEARCH this site regarding this subject. Not being a wisea*# , but this will help you make a calculated decision . Personally, I'd keep the 6.2 if it is a proven runner. The m1009 with it's gearing makes the 6.2 a highway truck. My 1028 with Gear Vendor is my go anywhere...
