A couple of guys I know down here tore apart an old blazer and did something very similar. they turned it into a mud buggy, so everything naturally had to be easy to clean and water resistant. if I remember correctly, they painted down a thick layer of textured bed liner, and covered that with...

roflroflrofl FUNNY POST^^^

I'm going to be creating a new thread based soley for the discussion of HHO viability and practicality. I apologize for the thread hijacking going on Westex. maybe someday someone will post on here after thorough experimentation. I unfortunately do not have a deuce and a half, so it's impossible...

A common misconception is that you need HUGE amounts of HHO to see any appreciable gain. In reality, the HHO takes up only 3-5% volume of your final fuel/air mixture. the power isn't coming from the HHO itself, but rather its acting like a catalyst to burn the fuel more cleanly and efficiently...

there are kits still available from a company Called Titan Aircraft. the plane is a 3/4 scale LSA type P-51 called the Titan T-51. cool plane but probably outside of your sedan budget. I believe the last kit I saw raw between 45-50k depending on skill level. -Tyler...

"as someone once told me: aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. it is however highly unforgiving to even the slightest of errors." If you die in a plane crash then it was your fault. even if the engine or structure has multiple flaws, these things come to a head under scrutiny and...

How bad was it fraying? if it was huge pieces peeling up I would advise you to grind the work you just did off and redo it with a properly mixed resin/ hardener. without measuring and thoroughly mixing, you'll have no idea if it cured properly. (I'm assuming the worst here) Of course this could...

ah don't you just love the little goodies the govn't left for us? My souvenir list from my '85 09 includes: *jack/tool kit *rusted out jumper cables dangling from spare tire carrier * a condom wrapper used (dated 1999!) *a roll of some kind of wire under the rear seat several very p***ed off...

Perhaps i was mistaken :-(? I had not factored in the weight of the engine into my logic DOH! alas, all is not lost. I see there will be a TON of mod work involved in doing such a complex build project here, I get it. however, It appears I was not completely clear about my intentions with...

WOW thanks for all the input everyone! as for the question of suspension, it is going to to be getting some new axles for sure. more than likely ford nines or a custom length dana 60 set up front and back. I need something with a REALLY short wheel base (ideally less than 90 inches and be...

Okay guys, a bit of an oddball question here. wasn't exactly sure where/if to post this here so please bear with me. Alright, to the point then. I have a 1985 m1009 and love her to death. However, at times where I want to goo wheeling with my buddies, I have much difficulty getting a...

it sounds to me like you may have short circuited the relay resistors. I am by no means an expert, but perhaps the short still allowed the switch to reamin on after the relay was disengaged? post some pics if you can of the carnage so we can maybe see if there was indeed a fault in the wiring...

What's wrong with a gold plated Yuko?:lol: Excuse my noobishness, but I thought the '1009's came with a 3/4 ton rating? Ohwell i guess your right I probably will start with a civvy blazer and drop a 6.5L cummins in it. Then, I'll add in all the goodies to make it emulate an m1009. :/ Sadly this...

Hey guys, just thought I would post an interesting find uncovered on Google images while looking for Inspiration for my new CUCV project (more on that later.) Anyway, here it is: http://s784.photobucket.com/albums/yy129/AgeOfDarkness94/CUCV%20pics/?action=view&current=TrickedoutM1009.jpg So...

I feel ashamed of myself... 17 and already an addict. Man, my Mom is gonna tell the wife about this someday and were all gonna laugh at it but right now its **** on my wallet and honestly, I think meth addicts spend less money than me LOL! Anyway, I'm happy to be here and I plan on stayin'...

Good advice, thanks I hadn't thought of that yet. I am considering taking the engine out of an older model tahoe so I can have the 6.5L power and then running a 205TC from a 700r4 tranny to the 1008 axles. Seems like I'm building Dr. Frankenstien's weekend express lol. According to my research...

Thanks, I'm more than happy to be here zout. Yeah he was a great father and teacher to me and I do my best to follow the fine example he set everyday of my life. Man I can't wait to get this build started now I'm all fired up! I think now I'll go get some ice cream and draw up a bunch'a wild...

Like I said I'm not DEAD set on the 1009, I just would like to keep It in than family (easy access to parts and their simplicity mostly.) basically what I need is something that can handle some abuse (I don't too much tree trimming and climbing lol, have enough umpf to get me through the thick...

Now that you got me thinking, I have always wanted a half track too, or at least to ride in one. Has anyone ever seen one of those WWII geman halftracks in the US? I can't seem to find any but they are by far the sickest thing (besides the m1A1 or the AH64) I have ever seen. I'll have to agree...
