Not supposed to do EMP posts either per forum rules. As much as I'd like to chime in thoughts about such an "event", in agreement with the last poster, I'll refrain.
I'm going to guess it's the same reason I'm not doing LED on the M1009 - cost. I'm doing an H4 upgrade with a custom high power headlight harness for just a bit under $100 - that's half what the cheapest reputable single LED fixture goes for today...
cucvrus also comes across to me as the type...
Thanks, those are good pictures of the cowl stuff. I'm looking to do the same work on the M1009 since it isn't so much "leaking" as much as it seems like the cowl drains are plumbed into the cab aua
Here's the direct links to the posts ODFever was referring to in the post above that have to do...
Moving to a 31 gallon is the only off-the-shelf part that fits without modifications. There was once a semi-custom 40-gallon made by a company that is no longer in business (40 gallon suburban tanks don't fit with the suspension/rear trailer hook and cross member). With the jerry can in the...

I will be doing this to the new M1009 when I'm past some other issues - it'll be in my thread for that truck but I'll link it back here.
Material cost is about $260, so it's not a "cheap" change - but most of my projects can be priced around $250 each, which makes it easier to do installments...
