Bought a M416 from a guy in Washington. It's in pretty good shape. I have to weld the lunette ring back on- was cut off for a standard ball hitch- luckily they only removed the ring. Needs a sand blasting and paint. I'll post pics later. I'll have to find a spare as well. If you know of one...

Oldsouthernboy, The carrier came off of a Pathfinder at the boneyard; it is aftermarket though. It has a sticker on it that says "Valley Industries, Inc" I looked at the link; but did not find the carrier?!? Call and see. If you take a picture to a fabricator it looks easy enough to make- 1 bend.

Thanks for the comments. I took a paint class at the community college. The instructor coached me in applying the Polyester 2-part primer to recoat the fiberglass top. The Paint was shot 2 weeks later- last Saturday, by me in the paint room. I used the Gillespie "383". Masking took the longest...

Can someone straighten this all out please. If one just puts these plugs in will they fry if one doesn't make changes to the stock system? My Blazer is still running the 24volt starter. I thought it was a straight change of plugs without any other mods?!? :?

red, not a dumb question at all. As you can see, the tire is inside now. The mount is snug and secure... but it is inside and it does does hog up space for my outdoor needs during hunting season. I usually draw tags for remote desert units, and need to take water and fuel as the last diesel...

Nut, by side-mount type, do you mean the type that attaches to the corner of the rig in two places? If so, those seem to wreak havoc on the sheet metal from what I have read and seen. I know I could have gone to a custom HD bumper; but I was trying to keep the back-to-stock option. This mount...

Hoping for comments, cause I was a little worried that due to the heavy tire, I may require additional bracing on the upright tubing- maybe a 3/16" steel plate to shore-up the tube arch. Just concerned that off-road rattles could bend the tubing. Think it might?

wsucougarx, did you mount all 5 can carriers atop the mounting bracket that is bolted to the floor on the driver,s side rear in a M1009- I think these are the bolts the OP is interested in.

Mine was from a support group at Moffet Field, CA. I found the decal from the unit online and was thinking about adding it to the lower drivers side corner of the tailgate, or drivers front quarter panel where the emblem usually is found. Then I found something in the paint TM about not...

How involved is the R&R? Do you have to pull the steering box an Pitman?

Mine were 7mm. I had a **** of a time finding any with round tops, so I used the hex heads- all I could find actually. The 7mm seem to be popular in the airplane repair business; but I put a lot of time into finding any with round tops, to prevent digging onto the bottom of the gas can. In the...

I bought the lock cylinder from the M1009 guy on eBay. The window crank assembly was pretty complete; but it was only available in chrome- ebay also, different guy. Judicious sanding and priming with self-etching primer, then Black or green, if you like. The chrome one will take more...

I picked this carrier up at the wrecking yard some months ago. I was looking for one for a few months and finally found this one on a Nissan pathfinder. It was attached to a heavy duty bumper. Since the M1009 does not have one, I added one. First I removed the tow ring bars (3 bolts). I bought...

I am taking a body/paint class at the Community College. I just sprayed my Blazer top with a polyester Primer to smooth out the fraying fiberglass. Its still very wet here where I live, and the primer is not quite ready for sanding. I'll get some pics so I can show off my handy work when I finish.

While I was trouble shooting my starter relay issue, I opened the GP control card case to clean the contacts. I sprayed the contacts that grab the card; but felt they needed better cleaning than Electrical contact cleaner spray could provide from one angle. Here is what I did: My daughters are...

Take it to a starter shop and have them take a look. Worse case is they rebuild it to fit, or sell you the 28MT starter you need. Then clean and sell (after testing) the old one on ebay for some relief on the cost of the right starter.

Marty G, that looks good. Was it hard to do? I have never done any kind of lift; but that does give it something alright.

Received a roll of Tygon to replace the injector lines. Also soldered in a diode on my starter relay. Until I can figure out why my relay sticks sometimes until I give it a whack, it couldn't hurt.

Djfreema, How did you bolt through the top into your rack? Isn't the top double layered? What hardware- bolts, washers, neoprene? did you use?

That's what I was thinking, the relay is getting stuck. I remember reading about the relay terminals slamming back under big loads and how some members were promoting the idea of soldering in a diode to absorb the kickback. I have some left over from when my horn diode blew, so I got nothing to...
