    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    short range comms One for me, one for the spotter. Charades-type hand signals do not communicate anything useful to me, I prefer to hear words.

    Put LED work light where the ginormous turn signal goes. Will re-lamp the little blackouts for turn signals.

    rocky trail 1, limb risers 0

    Not fast, nope:) When I had the M35A3 with the '109 box, it was a fine wood collector: branches would accumulate above the cab, against the box, as I drove.

    rocky trail 1, limb risers 0

    So I attached steel cables from the top of the cab to the grill guard. There is sufficient flex body-to-frame that the cable mounts (eye bolts) broke the first trip out. The trail tells me I don't need limb risers, apparently.

    1st hand re-centered HMMWV wheel problems.

    I use the 12-bolts in stock configuration: dually hubs up front, steel spacers out back. I have the magnesium inserts from the previous generation of wheels, cut down on a bandsaw, eliminating the runflat feature but retaining the double beadlock capability. I typically run about 8 psi on the...

    The trail tells me what to remove

    Yes, Ridenby, I'll get some pix up. Should I wait until the cab cage gets installed before gimpyrobb test drives it? :)

    The trail tells me what to remove

    Thanks :) The doors are from a commercial source (PM me), very well engineered as the original hinges and latch are unchanged. Its bolt up. The Blazer had a tendency to stand up on its rear wheels at step-like obstacles. After adjusting weight/CG, it doesn't do that anymore = good thing. If I...

    The trail tells me what to remove

    Put the Blazer on a diet to compensate for the weight gain from D60 + 14BFF, locked both ends: Top, back seat, tailgate, pintle hitch, doors. Moved the batteries to behind the passenger seat on the floor (optimas x 2). Spare lies flat on the floor. Wheel wells cut using a M35A2 front fender as a...

    Why do we pay attention to the miles?

    Its an add-on. Extra bracketry in the engine compartment for the compressor, still retains the two alternators. I'll look in my archives for pix.

    Why do we pay attention to the miles?

    The first M1009 that I purchased had seen service with Border Patrol. Imagine a vehicle parked on a hill, in the desert sun, idling to run the added air conditioning for the entire shift, logging no miles....

    Any real benefit to installing a roll bar on M1009 ??

    Yes, the A-pillar structure did not survive. I will focus there.Good info, thanks.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    37s baja TAs on 12bolt H1 wheels w/ cut-down mag runflats. Did the cut n superglue trick on the o-rings. Easier than stretching -457s or freezing -458s. Weld on frame brace + bolt on brace. Ready to rock n roll....well....just rock, no roll. With 4 inch lift the high steer drag link rubs on the...

    M1009 Down

    Recommend both the bolt on + weld on. Been there, done that.
