Thanks! I wasn't looking forward to that part.

Getting towards the cab for paint this weekend. I need to replace the windshield weatherstrip. Has anyone used the LMC truck windshield weatherstrip? I've used their other parts which are good, but I read on an m1009 build that said he had to work hard to get it to fit? anyone?

Okay, here is the bumper taken down to the metal, then it was PPG epoxy primed and painted.

Also, replace your shocks. That helped dampen mine a lot. It was worn shocks that caused my tires to wear along with out of balance and no rotation.

I got a dome light from Napa. It also has a switch on the dome light to turn it off, just in case you don't need all that light. It isn't an led light and was cheap.

Hey guys, just my 2 cents. I am also painting my M1009. I painted the tailgate Kustom Kolors Desert Storm tan. It looked great just in the single color. I then did the 3-color - by the book - paint scheme. Did not look good at all. It could be that the paint was all brand new...the contrast of...

Welcome to J.C. Taylor Unless your vehicle is a daily driver, get J.C. Taylor or some other collector car insurance. They give you the liability proof card needed (at least in Ca) and there is no appraisal needed (unless your CUCV is worth over $30,000 then you need an apraisal) I agree that...

Im gonna head down to the local junk yard and see if i can find one. I'll disassemble it and let you know the outcome. Warren

Go to LMC truck. They have all the stuff you need to make your windows work and seal. I did mine and it was pretty easy. Here's a link: LMC Truck Parts - Page 1

Thanks, Maybe someone is parting out their CUCV. Most the clusters on epay are civy.

In trying to carefully remove my instrument cluster, the bottom right piece broke off. I thought of gluing it back, but it is the piece which has the shift indicator wire going over it. Does anyone know where I can get a good replacement cluster? Thanks, Warren

California DMV offers (last time I used one $15.00) a one day operating pass. It is a blue sheet of paper you tape to the back window of your truck. You fill in the date when you need to use it, but it is only good for one day. A Synopsis from the California DMV website: A One Trip Permit...

Let me know if the Napa part numbers are correct. I'll check my garage for a set of u-joints I just bought from Napa - when i get to my garage.

Hey Deep Sea Man I'm in Pacific Beach. We should get a cuppa joe and talk Blazers. I'm in the same situation, wanting to do mods, but nothing too radical. Mainly creating a vehicle my girlfriend won't complain about. She's pretty good with my stuff so far. I've put sound deadener and carpet in...

Anyone have a recommendation on where to get a proper fitting windshield rubber. I remember someone had said LMC's seal was difficult to install.

Does anyone have photos they could share of the M1009 in action in Desert Storm?

Wow!, Thanks for decifering the ENIGMA door code! What is the definition of "Non tactical vehicle"? I'm guessing the M1009 would be used as a military grocery getter?

When I did my Deuce SF97, I looked at the axle tags which have a manufacturing date. Unless of course the axles were switched out. Both my axles had the same month and year...
