    Unauthorized Google photo gets the left-handed salute

    Yes, I was flipping the Google car off. I saw it coming around the corner near my house. As it got closer I suddenly got the feeling that I was being filmed without consent and I didn't like it. I used my left hand cause my daughter was in the car with me. You can still see my intent though.

    Anyone make alternate uses of this bracket?

    Made a pistol holder for when I am driving. Just unholster an set it where it's easy to draw without any extemporaneous motion. looks like all you're doing is un-buckleing. I don't leave it in the rig when I leave, it's just a place to park it while I'm driving. To draw my left hand grabs the...

    M1008 multiple spare tire mount ideas needed

    fal_shooter: here is the link to another thread here on spare carriers. The whole deal was about$70 buck IIRC. Aftermarket carrier from the wrecking yard, and a 3"x3" square tube and longer Ring carriers to rest the 3x on. A little welding.

    My add-on temp guage may not be long enough...

    About 140 degrees either way; but it's cold now. When pulling his I get to 180-190.

    My add-on temp guage may not be long enough...

    I added the gauge a couple of years back, but have never felt that it was giving accurate readings. I'm thinking that the sensor in the housing does not dip low enough into the water jacket to get a reading. I have tried to "burp" the water out so there is no void left, but I think as water...

    CB radio

    Here's my radio set: Fabbed a bracket for the CB to sit under the speaker. I replumbed the one on the left to use the original cable. It goes to the scanner between the driver seat and console. The aux speaker goes to the CB- it has a built in AAMP. The mike was from a MIL set, it was replumbed...

    Epic 27MT Rebuild quest.

    I as many here will remember, struggled with starter issues for the first two or so years of ownership with my M1009. I replaced the one I found which was a Direct Drive- stamped 12volt. After it tested ok, I was told it was a shim/flexplate issue. I eyeballed clearance and didn't shim. I bought...

    M1009 Rear Window Question.

    Here is a link to another post that addresses some of the things to do when you have the tailgate window apart. The one thing that is easy to miss after lubing and degreasing is the state of the regulator teeth. I found that it is this and not the clutch that goes when the window does not come...

    M1009 Stalling while driving

    PBALLER71, Also check all fuel lines for cracks. Probably should look around the filter for any signs of leaking fuel. I've had issues like this where the crack stays closed when cold, but as the rubber heats up and it is more pliable, it starts bouncing around and sucks air into the line as it...

    passenger seat on M1009 does not lock one one side.

    aT LEAST THAT IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE. Sorry caps lock:oops:. When one sits in the fron passenger seat and attempts to slide it forward, it goes but feels as if it locks only on one (inboard) side. The right side of the seat seems not to be locked in place. Anyone ever have this? What is the cause?

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

    Ever since I bought my '09 six years ago, I have been aware that the wire loom that runs inside of the chassis frnt-rear has been hanging, I looked at it way back but it looked like rivets had broke off. I ended up looking at it yesterday with better light. Two of the three of the flanged clamps...

    Crickets driving me nuts

    Is this the fitting? (#15)
  16. edpdx

    Buying a M1009, would like some second opinions.

    Ask yourself what you'd get with $5,000 instead, and then ask if it has low miles, ask if it looks waaay cool. If it's not rusted or full of Bondo, or leaking like a sieve, I'd get it. The seals are a little bit of a pain. The rear crank is easy if you just take a couple of hours to catalog...

    Crickets driving me nuts

    I noticed a continuous cricket-like chirping sound coming from under the M1009 Blazer two days ago. I have not yet isolated it s it doesn't seem to present at idle in the driveway. Whenever I accelerate though I can hear it. It does not grow louder, and I don't remember it gaining intensity with...

    Dorman oil cooler lines in depth Review

    I went with DOrman. Found the same problem as everyone else. The easiest solution was to install with out the block clamp and then holding the clamp to the top hose you'll see that the angle of the bottom one will not allow proper use of the clamp because the angle on the clamp is wrong...
