    I bought the Front Upper Shackle Hanger kit from Off Road Design earlier this year. Finally got it installed! The rear of the front springs were hitting the frame, and the passenger side was riding on the frame a lot. The old bushings were cracked but still in place. The install was pretty...

    CUCV painted military yellow?

    I've had my M1028 for a little over a year now, and when this (not so) expertly applied CARC green chips off it reveals a bright yellow paint underneath. The truck belonged to the Army.
