    Google Chrome showing SS as a phishing site?

    Google is blocking me from the email link. The window I am working from here is fine but the one I just opened blocks even after you tell it to continue at your own risk. Hopefully Google will get this fixed. I do not care much for IE.

    Google Chrome showing SS as a phishing site?

    I get the following error: Google Chrome has blocked access to www.steelsoldiers.com. This website has been reported as a phishing website. All you need to do is tell GC to keep driving on but has there been an issue?

    Swap in 6.5 in CUCV???

    The pick up version of the 6.5 turbo uses a side mount turbo and the heads with the right bolt angle. I think it is 90 degree and 60 degree angle. The rear mount HMMWV and van turbo 6.5 use the 60 degree while the truck uses the 90. Heads can be an issue because of cracking so check closely...

    1991 Suburban front grill on a CUCV

    One correction on my post is the four light front (90-91 anyway) is two lights on at a time. Two low beam (outer), two high beam (inner) in stock form. Throw in the relay kit to run from the batteries, you get four lights on high. As for the wiring harness, you will have to cut and splice...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    I had the tug on the road for about two months. She did pretty well on fuel, decent amount of power on the road but she is not sporting a LS1 so you have to keep that in mind. I would do some things differently now (gas hole is one spot giving me headaches) after running into some slight...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    I had some wiring issues kicking my arse. Ended up being bad grounds. Still have a brake warning light on all the time and no speedo. The trans is weaker than I like but she runs out okay. The Scout pan is a great idea but the Scout pick up tube does not work on a Jeep oil pump! Several...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    Thanks! I will get it outside and get some better photos this week. Flying into Osan but will be stationed Seoul at Yongsan. I have not been to Korea since 1995! Should be fun!

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    Some new pics. I have some wiring issues to nail down and am waiting on the interior to come back from the shop. Insurance kicks in this evening and I should have most everything done tomorrow night.

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    My tug should be on the road Monday evening pending a shift kit, seat belts, seats and headliner. I put the bed liner in the cab last night, painted the rest of the inside of the cab today, bed is getting paint as I type this. Heading over tomorrow to install the bed, rear bumper, roof panel...

    How do I fix m1009 fiberglass top?

    I had four of them and could not give them away. Three went to the scrap yard in the back of trucks and one a local guy gave me $25 because he wanted the glass.

    U.S. Gear Install

    Here is a link for some US Gear info. Looks like the company has been bought out and the unit is being redesigned. DualRange Overdrive Maybe what you should have said is you have a "CUCV truck with a TH-400 and NP205 case." This was you would not have to explain why you have a M1008 with a...

    what is this 6.2 turbo motor missing

    Found some pics. This is a 99 model. There is a pipe that ties your driver and passenger exhaust then you have the beast of a pipe coming out of the turbo. The pics show the engine in the truck then the photos of the turbo and exhaust. I did not take photos of the engine out before I tore it down.

    what is this 6.2 turbo motor missing

    There is a pipe that comes off the back of the turbo. If I think about it, I will get a photo of it the next time I am at the farm. $200 is fair. If you end up not using the flywheel, I would be interested in it.

    Will CUCVs continue to appreciate in value?

    You know, I am not sure the price of diesel will change the value much. Most f the folks buying a CUCV buy them to fill a specific need. That could be for a truck you can run off biodiesel, waste oil of some sort, or just a tough old truck you can beat on. I think the value is in the axles...

    Will CUCVs continue to appreciate in value?

    A CUCV is no Corvette and not all Corvettes appreciate the same. CUCVs will change value based on supply and demand. Then you have the price someone is willing to pay. You can ask a million bucks, but that does not mean it will sell. Kind of like the jug head with the rusted out 1974 GTO...

    AH-64 Apache Crash

    Since the video likely leaves out a good many details, it would be prudent to hold judgement until later. Afghanistan is a different place to fly. Guys flying in OIF for several tours have to learn a new way of flying in OEF.

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    Looks good. I found a complete Scout SD33T truck with trans and t-case in it. The engine just needs an injector pump.

    Gear Vendors

    You may be refering to the old J-Series unit. You can't get parts for it anymore. If you saw the "electronics" portion of my set up, you would not be impressed and would withdraw your complexity comment. The engagement piece on the GV is a two prong solenoid on the back. You may be able to...

    My GV unit is just like the new units. All the box does is look at a speed and activates when you hit the speed you set it at (20 or 40 MPH), looks for a 4x4 lock out signal, and allows for activation at the foot switch. The newer boxes may have more options but the function of the unit is the...
