    09 Sun Visor Mod.

    The ones in my 1009 seem a little small. And they are very stiff. I need to try and lube them a little. They definitely don't block the rear view any. The rear view also seems too small also.

    09 Sun Visor Mod.

    I like it, just not sure how that material will hold up to fading in the sun. But looks very cool for sure:D

    More Pics of my M1008 Restore

    Very Nice indeed. I'm not sure my 09 will ever look that good.

    Has any one made a pair of zero rates out of the big overload spring on the bottom of the rear springs? I know on the pair that I have apart now that spring is about 7/8" thick. Does anyone other than ORD make a part like their zero rate?

    It looks great. I have a couple sets of 56" 1 ton springs I am think about using on my 1009. I am curious to see how your ride turns out. Off to a great start.

    DIY DD Starter Bracket

    Very cool. I guess I should get out and check mine. I just got it November so I still have a lot of getting acquainted to do with it. I need to get an antenna bracket or 2 also. Did you do the bedliner or have it done? Looks purty all shiny and new:grin:

    M1008 - Auxilary fuel tanks

    Yes staying put is definitely the easiest route to take if the situation permits. Otherwise getting out early hopefully before a bunch of others try to do the same is the best way to go. But every situation will be different depending on what it is. Being in a large urban area I would like to...

    M1008 - Auxilary fuel tanks

    Out of curiosity why do you want to remove the existing tank. I like to have all the fuel I can get. Especially if I'm towing something heavy. I want to see if I can get a 40gal suburban tank under my m1009.

    M1008 - Auxilary fuel tanks

    Mine does have a "float" gauge I guess it would be called, but it is under the tool box lid. I have seen some, I think the newer models where the gauge is outside the lid. With my setup and the existing tank, I know when the fuel gauge starts moving away from full that the bed tank is empty.

    M1008 - Auxilary fuel tanks

    I have a 60gal aux tank in my pickup that feeds the main tank via gravity. It sits in the bed behind the cab and has a small tool box in the top of it. I think they are only approved for diesel. I have had it for several years now with no issues. I think it is an RDS. Not sure if you could get...
