Yes, all stock hinges & hardware. Link: http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/tubedoors.htm

Me too...but then, my starting position was the 33 year old truck had no residual value to start with. So where does THIS wire go anyway :)

was at Jack's this morning. I don't know what some of this stuff is :

just knockin' around town keeping the fluids moving.

Mine is a rust free AZ truck, I have ~$15K into it, and I'm not done yet. So I can only imagine how much a rusty truck could cost.

No sense changing oil either...engine still runs, right? Just messin' with ya.

muffler ? Daaaang, I knew I forgot SOMETHING....

I'm trending the other way as I like the 24 V system: a 24V electric fuel pump left over from the M35A2 and a 24V electric winch. Off topic, I know. Maybe "start" another thread.

Took the truck for a spin in the 108 degree heat, just to verify all systems are "Go". Now, all of MY systems might not be Go, but the truck is good :)

performed gravimetric analysis on the M1009 That is, I had it weighed :) Steer axle 3120 lb, drive axle 3000 lb, gross = 6120 lb. That is with a full tank of diesel + 2 spares + full CO2 tank + spare driveshafts + jack + tools. Don't forget I have a cage & rock sliders installed. And me, after...

I mount my own as well. The O-rings come in two sizes: too big and too small. You can read stories about heating up the small ones or freezing the large ones, none of that is worthwhile. Get the big ones (or even a spool of the correct diameter rubber), use a single edged razor blade to cut the...

Did you know that 5/4 of the population does not understand fractions?

Oooh, I see. I have one of those diesel transfer pumps from HF. Quite often I see a piece of construction equipment waaaaay out in the boonies ( or even in the median of a major interstate) just parked there, "offering " to donate fuel in an emergency :) I have never had to take up the offer...

Are you guys running out of fuel ? I'm trying to imagine a scenario where the stock, giant diesel tank isn't enough.

pic of the cutdown runflats retains beadlock feature, but can air down.

changed it up 2 spares

I miss the yellow CAT that was in my A3..........hey.......

routine maintenance and a bit more Yes, each maintenance cycle, do something to undo the effects of 34 years. Then your CUCV will set you free.

added a spare spare and an easily accessible hydraulic jack. At least two of the other rigs that I travel with run the same 16.5 inch, two piece, double beadlock wheels that I do. The tire on the bottom of the stack is mounted, ready to go. The top is a tire only. Recall these H1 wheels/tires...

now that the truck has a roll cage Will try going with two of these 6 circuit boxes that mount to a roll cage element. One push button will be for glow plugs, the second for the starter. I discovered that when I am harnessed in, I can't reach the dash mounted controls.
