So I took the plunge and ordered a 150ft 5/16 synthetic cable for my winch. Other than keeping it clean, any other pointers on making a synthetic last?
The shop custom built my winch mount for the old school Warn 8274. Angle iron was used and the existing cucv brush guard was modified. So far it's held just fine....
Make sure you get the correct lift pump. The parts stores list two Delphi units, but only one of them will work.
You want #chfp906. That is the correct lift pump. #mf30030 is incorrect and will not work.

I'm a big fan of the 255 85 16 tire. I run that size with a BFG KM2 on my 86 M1008 and Toyo MT on my 79 K20. Both are mounted on the factory wheels and there's no fender rubbing. With the weight of the M1031, I would recommend the Toyo MT because of the stiffer sidewalls and a...

That's not going to be a quick easy fix... I'm sure the crank can be fixed, just not while it's in the block.
The new steering box is installed on the 86 m1008. Just waiting on the new front shocks to get here..
**the old shocks were completely worn out.. didn't take much effort to move them in n out by hand lol
The 86 💩box M1008 got a better set of doors swapped onto it. And the driver's side is a cucv door with the ID plate on it... and who cares if it's from an M1010😆
To be on the safe side, get new hinges. The doors on my 86 m1008 are being swapped today and the existing driver's side hinges were just worn out. I just bought new hinges and painted them.
