Since I had the bumper and grill off for my winch install, I figured it would be a good time to add that tranny cooler i've been needing. Picking a tranny cooler is a challenge in itself. I went with a B&M Hi-Tek SuperCooler 70297. It has a built in thermostat that switches the fan on when the...

Much Excellent!!!

The factory wires were now too short to reach the control box so I bought 3 battery cables to replace them. Battery cables work great because they are the same gage as the factory wires and they come with Ring termimals already attatched to both ends.

I then mounted my winch upside down with the engage/disengage handle on the driver's side. I monted it this way because I wanted to mount the control box for the winch where the slave cable hookup is. This would help keep the power cables to a minimum length. Next I removed the slave cable...

I bought the Badlands Universal Winch mounting plate when I bought my winch. After taking my bumper off and grill out I found two existing holes in the frame where the bumper bracket bolts up that I could use. That only left me with 2 holes to drill through the frame. Luckily 2 holes in the...

There's been a few times in my M1028 adventures where having a winch would have made life much easier. I always say it's better to have and not need than to need and not have. There's tons of options when buying a winch and it can be overwhelming choosing one. I've heard a good way to choose the...

Yea the rpm's are too high on your chop saw. I recommend The Rage 3 if you plan on using it for a lot of compound angles. If you're just doing regular cuts and some angles mixed in I would get the Rage 2 14" chop saw. I've been using my Rage 2 for over a year, and have made around 20 sets of...

Man that looks Awesome! Very nice integration! I'm going to have to get in gear and build my bumper! Good motivation!

I installed the new Mile Marker locking hubs last night. Bingo! I have working 4-wheel drive again! The hubs I ordered are Stainless Steel so they're shinny and stick out like sore thumb. I may have to figure out a way to paint them or something. I wonder if sandblasting them would let paint...

I can build them when you guys are ready!

Thanks for the offer amigo! I just ordered some new ones a few minutes ago. I was having a hard time finding a used one with a price that was justifiable. 2 new ones for under $140, hard to go wrong.

I'm going to keep looking for one, I might get lucky. I ordered New Mile Marker Locking hubs for $139.31 shipped, that should clear up my hub issues.

All this talk about the transfer case has got me searching for a 241 for the lower gearing. The 89 3/4 ton suburban is the only one with the correct splines and mechanical speedo correct? Otherwise if i find a 241 that is 32 spline from a chevy I could swap out the electronic speedo with a...

Well Napa was zero help. I even had the part numbers from the TM. Turns out my passenger side locking hub has seen better days. I've called the local salvage yards and I might as well be searching for a space ship part.... I also called Offroad Design and Steven is looking for a good take off...

Ok guys I had a buddy help me diagnose this issue. With the hubs unlocked or in the free position and the T-case in 2-hi we could rotate the front drive shaft freely by hand. We put it in 4-hi and the front drive shaft coulnd't be turned by hand. It also engaged the front drive shaft in 4-low...

So this weekend I took a couple buddies out to have some 4-wheel fun in my M1028. After lots of 4-low fun I reversed through a deep hole of water, once I made it through I put it back in drive and something made a audible pop. All seemed fine so we took it out of 4-wheel and headed back home. On...

If anyone is interested in a set of Rock sliders for the M-1009 PM me.

Where's the pics or yours Don?

As a matter of fact I've been thinking about building a set for my 2003 Tahoe. I need to check out the expedition portal! Thanks!!!
