The standard 19 inch rack mount blank was an easy install with the nut-sert tool. In the future, if i want to put something electronic there, its ready to receive a standard size instrument. On the trail, the door would pop open dumping the contents, I'm better off with out it. The trail tells...

Gloves in the glove box?? Now, who does that :)

When the hinge broke on mine, I realized that I don't need that dumb door anyway. Blanked it off.

The conversion utilizing two alternators in a 12V configuration is straightforward. See the REC newsnote #10 published by Roscommon Equipment Center, Northeast Forest Fire Supervisors. It has pictures :) Your challenge will be understanding, then undoing, the previous owner's handiwork.

I'm doing the U-bolt reversal today...hope I ordered the right kit, based on the diameter of the axle housing. I kinda wish I did this the last time I had the springs out: the previous owner did not realize that the aftermarket rear spring packs weren't centered so one was mounted backwards. I...

24V & 12V busses I'm not sure if this answers your question: I re-designated the ground bus (front & rear) to be a 12 V bus. The passenger side frame rail now serves as the ground bus. The intake manifold engine ground attaches there, on the frame rail. There is already a hole atop the frame...

flaps down Mud (what mud??) flaps.Compliance stuff. Placed them rearward so I don't back over them. Did that once with the deuce.

I like to say of the CUCV: "It will go anywhere you want....as long as you are not in a hurry."

Huh. I'm thinking of a CUCV specific accessory: It would be a large, plunger type solenoid, pipe-clamped to the starter housing. Commanded by a dash mounted push button switch, it would energize the solenoid, giving a good whack to the starter. No more crawling under the vehicle with a big...

I'm still tinkering, thinking KC-like spots in the B/O & slave port holes.

If you go with an upgraded engine crossmember, now would be good. I'm still struggling with how I'm gonna do that with the engine in.

installed the pinion guard. Followup: 4IY4X made it right by sending the correct part along with a prepaid shipper to return the other one. I'm satisfied with that.

Thats where I got it. I typically do business with ORD ( about $2100 so far), thought I'd give DIY a try. I told them over the phone: " I've never done business with you guys, so I'll order something small to see how it goes." Two day shipping took eight days, and its the wrong part. Says right...

was going to install the pinion guard doodad but this one has 5 holes = wrong.

I favor BFGs. I have the all terrain T/As on the Avalanche, and the Baja T/As on the Blazer.

In this forum I don't think you'll find any haters. Fab away !! Now, some light hearted teasing might be in order, but thats all it is :)

It all started when I made a comment to my son-in-law about how I think the stock turn signals were rediculously large and that real estate could be better used for off-road LEDs. For my birthday he gave me a set of LEDs that just fit in that space. Well, here in AZ, its not required to have...

turn signals again Now that they have been installed for a month or so, I kinda like them. Industrial looking. I bought two sets of magnetic tow lights (almost free at Harbor Freight), took the amber lenses off one set then installed on the other set so both sides are amber. I can unplug them...

You can have a 6 inch lift + 37s without modifying the garage : one simply has to terminate the unjustified love affair with fenders :)

In the Engineering world, we call that "scope creep". "While it's apart, I'll do........" :)
