    4" vs. 6" lift on m1008 W/37" hummer tires

    The main issue is that it is SO freakin tall now. I'm pretty short and I have to crawl up in this thing like a kid on a jungle gym. The other thing I don't like is how it feels going around corners, feels like the center of gravity is way too high. The front drive shaft is still factory length.

    Need electrical advise on M1008 please

    Well, I checked out the front battery and it was totally dead. So I charged it all night, the next morning it showed 100% and it started up just fine and everything seems to work like it is supposed to. Only thing I can think of is the front battery must be toast and was drained when I turned on...

    Need electrical advise on M1008 please

    Thanks Warthog. I was going to check the batteries out this afternoon when I get back home. I know they were both fine when I started the truck right before this happened but who knows now. After that I will start trying to track down these fusible links.

    CB radio gurus I need help

    I have a M1008 with a CB that has a 4' whip antanna. I stumbled across a SWR gauge that hooks up in-line on the antana coax. My CB has a SWR knob on it as well. What should the correct reading be for this type of setup?
