    Hi I have acquired some axles from a former m1008 that I would like to install on my m1009. I understand that I will need to change the perches on the rear and get a conversion u-joint.

    Bad vibration after hard brake incident.

    Hi I was driving my 1009 today when a nice lady cut me off requiring me to lock em up for a very short moment. After the braking incident I'm getting lots of driveline vibrations. This truck is lifted 4" and the vibrations were not present until this braking incident. Any thoughts or experience?

    Zero Rates on Front of 1009?

    My m1009 has a 4" lift in the front and a 4" shackle flip in the rear but the front sits noticeably lower than the rear. I also think it could benefit from moving the axel forward 1" so the tires don't rub as much. Has anyone added the zero rates up front and moved the axel forward on a m1009...

    Winch

    I finally got around to doing a winch bumper for my CUCV. I stole the idea from this article http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/body-chassis/1404-building-a-winch-bumper-backyard-mil/ Then a buddy of mine created a cad design. Then he cut the parts out on a plasma table.

    Hi There, I recently bought a M101a2 trailer to compliment my M1009 and I have my first question for the trailer forum. The master cylinder seems to be leaking fluid from the cap threads.

    Front driveshaft upon lifting

    I asked the guys over at ORD about lifting the Blazers 4" and they sent this back about the front driveshaft. "The front driveshaft has “stops” that limit the angle it can take, because at stock height they want the driveshaft to not be able to reach the ground in case a u-joint breaks. You...

    Preferred Axle Seal m1009

    Hi i took my m1009 out today to do a little wheeling and ended up with this. I'm guessing I need to replace the axle seals and, while I'm at it, replace the locking hubs. Does anyone have any input on the brand of seal I use? I'd love to get the best ones available.
