    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    I actually had to go look since my son is welding up this side...the steel is 0.40 thick and really welds very easy...gas is set at 12 or so pounds. The mask is a huge part of this process too as a non adjustable one can be hard to see through. He welds the edge together first, sands off the top...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    So the parts collection and welding is going good. Found a front grill guard today that I will put on the new project civ...have several fenders, 4 window glass and a bunch of fenders...we are so close to getting his blazer done and he's getting really good at welding and fitting parts he has made.

    CUCV Transfer Case Fill/Drain Plug Question

    You can use a tape on the threads, there can be a aluminum ring for a crush seal that could be there depending if it was lost before or smashed on the drain bolt...I say that because they do fall off into the drain pan and get lost. Check the driveshaft for the inside cap that seals the end of...

    Wiring is whatever winch you choose, they do list a bunch of winches that it was designed for and those will come with wiring instructions.

    Squibbly's M1009 and other Questionable Projects

    I bet that would work...a local truck shop might have something or hydraulic shop...I'll look up a hose company I use and see if they have something like that. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Did you find the nsn number for it in the parts catalog? Should be able to search that number up and find something.

    Best solution for a steering column?

    Yup that's it! I had both columns out when I did mine so it was right in my face and didn't know it would go on if I flipped it, tried it and it fit...kinda like a light bulb goin on...I am big on swapping out everything on a part before I install a new one so it was not that hard to see. Glad...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    So I found another one to turn into a fun truck that is a 6.2 civ version blazer...probably do a mil clone with it...bumpers n such. I thought you all would get a kick out of the fuel filter setup they had on it!! The guy I bought it from didn't know what it was so he took it off...ugh..gotta...

    on concrete I have had good luck with cheap cat litter...the clay stuff with no clumps or stinky cat smelly...dig it in with my boots and let it sit there for a bit...usually comes out pretty good.

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Modern art right!! Gotta sand off the top of the weld dabs then put a nice bead down the entire stitch...I think we'll put seam sealer over all of them to dress it up nice...I'll get to welding more tomorrow!!

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    The new part I made was painted early this morning and stitched in this afternoon...nice having a heated place to do that since it is pretty cold out...I'm going to put the door back on after I do just a few spots to hold the outer rocker in place to make sure everything lines up...having the...

    Well...the passenger side is a little worse than the drivers side was...cut the mount and side out for the seat belt...the entire side was rusty about 5 inches up...so out it came...I build the replacement tomorrow from a new peice of steel I got today...I'm getting pretty good at fabricating...

    I've done something similar to that but with a big pry bar stuck into the bolt and center bolt to keep it from twisting..I don't have any straight bolts in my kit and it's a snap on...I don't think the blue gas is gonna do much since it doesn't get that hot...makes you feel better though with it...

    Do the turn signals at least light up at all? Get new flash relays...I like the heavy duty ones...they do click louder but will hold more lights without flash timing being off..all of mine were bad..I have a stock under dash harness that if you need help identifying stuff I can take pics of it...
