That guy is thinking, "so this is what heaven is like".

I acquired some Trucklites from a route clearance kit. I thought the CUCV needed some help in the illumination department. Mounted them to the brush guard. Used a relay that's activated by the high beams.

What's with the bullet holes?

"Happy New Year. Celebrating 2 years w/o a drop of alcohol." That's awesome! Congratulations. That explains how you get so much work done.

My little green friend has a military themed gift for everyone. Especially Rick.

Agreed, looks like right off the CUCV showroom floor.

I have never tried gospel music. Sounds like a better plan than a stream of swear words.

Funny thing is that such a device exists. For race cars though. No CUCV version. http://www.dpiracingproducts.com/lc-sb,-brake-fluid-re-circulator/

That pinched line probably helped keep the brake shoes from wearing out.

I finished wiring the yellow strobe and the Go Light. Both are magnetic mounted as I loathe drilling holes in vehicles. The 2 red switches control the auxiliary fuel pump and the strobe. The black button is for manual glow plug operation. The Go Lite controller fits very nicely where the...

Latvius, did you paint the digi-camo or did it come that way? I like it.

Exactly, and if I wanted the 16's they would be gone.

Well there was also the 30 minute hunt for the single 15 mm socket. Must be a popular size. I founds gobs of 14's and 16's.

Quick and Dirty Starter overhaul. While fixing the water in fuel issue last week I noticed that the starter body was loose. Today I had a few free hours and decided to pull it off and go through it. Here is what I found. The upper bolt on the bracket had been bottomed out into the block...

It should come on for a few seconds when you first turn on the ignition. It will go off before the wait light. Unless you have water in the filter.

Monday I noticed the water in fuel light stayed on. So I did some research, easy fix. Tuesday I tried to start it and drain the filter. No go. Too late. Engine will not run on water despite the fact it's made out of oxygen and hydrogen. Pulled the filter off, drained it, learned how to...

Howdy back, from between Bonney Lake and Buckley. Thye had 2 of those at JBLM DRMO. I got the nicer one. Neither one started though when they were picked up.

It came from JBLM, Washington State. Probably used as a service truck on base. It has a small amount of rust on the passenger side floor board. I ripped out the wet rotted floorcover to keep the water from sitting there. It seems to leak somewhere. It's not actually my truck. Belongs to...

Finished up a few electrical details today. I added the tank and tool box to the back of the truck. Tank used to service generators and diesel Gators. Hence the "red" diesel if your eagle eyes caught that. I added the glow plug manual button and 2 extra circuit breakers where the radio would...

Dropped a fuel tank and pump into the bed for fueling equipment. Need a new filter though before I can use it. The bowl was half full of water and no filter. No wonder they pulled it out of service. Drove it around a race track a few times. Not very exciting.
