Those welds are awesome !!!!!!!!!!

Thanks cucv1833. The trailer hookup one had one I am looking for. I just need to make sure I am connecting the correct wires (the 4 black and 4 red ones) to the correct places on the 7 pin connector and I think my 1009 will be ready to tow my civi boat trailer.:) Anyone know what each of the...

I have the parts already and I like to try and do things myself, when I can. Also, I am too **** cheap to buy the adapter :o. Plus, if the voltage is 24v at the connector, I still need to drop it down to 12v.

OK, yes, I used the search function and I think I found what I was looking for, but just in case..... I am trying to fabricate a harness that plugs into the mil spec trailer connector on the rear of my M1009 so I can just plug in my civi boat trailer when ever I want, but at the same time...

But are the newer 16 and 17 inch rims the proper offset for an M1009 ?? I would go that route but from what I read, the newer rims don't have the proper offset.

I did the mod and the first relay was bad out of the box. Then, after swapping in another relay (from NAPA), it still wouldn't start. Found out the reason after I checked the wires. One had partially pulled out of the connector and wasn't making contacting. The mod works, you just have to...

Someone on here was going to build them. A search should turn up the post. I don't know how far he got with the testing and selling them.

On your bumper project, how about incorporating a nice thick winch plate? I am sure that would sell quit a few of the bumpers. I'd be interested.

Anyone bringing Scepter fuel cans ? I will be looking for four (4) in good shape for a reasonable cost.

IMHO, this would be a good "sticky" somewhere. List trusted CUCV Mechanics, by state/location to help all of us who sometimes don't have time to do things on our trucks. Just a thought...Yes/No???

I like what you have done. I really like the fold down police spotlight and want to add one to my truck. Do you have any interior/exterior close-up pics of the install? What model light is it? Does it interfere a lot with forward visibility ? Thanks.

SWEEET ! :lol:

Nice, very nice.

Thanks All. She smokes for just about 5-10 seconds or so, nothing more, so I'll assume I'm good to go. My TDI just did it this morning, but I think it was because it was about 15 degrees out. I love diesels !

When I start my 09 up in the morning, when it is below 35-40, she blows a bit of smoke. Just for a second or so, and it is bluish/white. It also smells like unburnt fuel. Is this normal? Everything else seems to be working well. Thanks.

This is the hitch I put on mine. I removed (and kept) the mil spec pintle and put this one on, which has a pintle function plus a two inch ball on it. It bolted right up to the existing mount and I got it at a 4x4 place, Truckin America. Works great and tows both military and civilian...

Here is how I mounted mine. Wired it up via tapping into the tail light wiring. Works great and is pretty much out of the way. Oh, I got it at Truckin America. It is for trailers, but it fit in that space perfectly. Drilled a few holes, used the self tapping screws, ran the wires through a...

These are all I could get right now. Cell phone, but they give you a rough idea. I wanted a darker color, but this is what I received. Hoping to repaint a darker grey and do a grey and black camp theme.

What I like about my solution is that you can remove/reinstall (as long as you don't cut the tie wraps) each piece individually if it gets warmer out or your truck gets a little too hot. Plus, you can reuse the pipe insulation year after year, just add tie wraps as necessary 2cents. The price...

Cash is tight and I am picking and choosing things needed for the truck, all the time looking for cost effective ideas/things to use as substitutes. Since I can't afford that sweet canvas winter cover for my 09, I took a page out of the VW TDI forum and did the following. It may not be as...
