I miss the yellow CAT that was in my A3..........hey.......

routine maintenance and a bit more Yes, each maintenance cycle, do something to undo the effects of 34 years. Then your CUCV will set you free.

added a spare spare and an easily accessible hydraulic jack. At least two of the other rigs that I travel with run the same 16.5 inch, two piece, double beadlock wheels that I do. The tire on the bottom of the stack is mounted, ready to go. The top is a tire only. Recall these H1 wheels/tires...

now that the truck has a roll cage Will try going with two of these 6 circuit boxes that mount to a roll cage element. One push button will be for glow plugs, the second for the starter. I discovered that when I am harnessed in, I can't reach the dash mounted controls.

new seat belts Doesn't help to have a cage if I don't stay in it :)

ancient Indian artifact? No, just petrified bumpstop. Replacing them, turns out that using shocks to limit suspension travel is no bueno :)

I see two- electric cooling fan setups out there. I am imagining rewiring them in series then powering off the 24 V bus. Guess that would go in the mods forum, sorry :)

Oh, I don't know, I can imagine DC motors driving alternators, power steering pump, even an air conditioning compressor. Could be a modular design: each function in a box with its corresponding motor. Just a thought experiment, not claiming its practical.

inventory of 34 yr old parts Now that I have made safety improvements (still need the 5 pt harnesses) its time to improve reliability. I can get into some pretty remote desert locations. Working from nose to tail, am listing any part that is 34 years old. Those parts will get queued up for...

Yes 203/205, also considering 208/241 as I have that hardware. Better yet, next years tax refund for a Magnum box :)

Oh, and I was gonna put two of them in there....

I'm thinkin' that an electric fan + switch does not stretch...

New exhaust system. Went from dual to single, drivers side exit. This is because the dual mufflers take up alot of real estate under there, and I need the space passenger side for "transfer case stuff".

I did, a Dodge D-50 (Mitsubishi). It was orange, decal'ed, and electric powered :)

Done. Someone said he saw my CUCV on the road. "Are you sure it was me??"

You are welcome. Suburbans have M1007 clone potential...just sayin' :)

okeydokey:

37 x 16.5, 12 inch wide on 9 inch wide Humvee rims. No issues.

The connectors are called Tube Clamp: fits 1-1/2" ID, 1-3/4" OD x 0.120" Wall Tube. Two Pieces w/Hardware. Now I know some will comment that there could be more bracing, triangulation etc. The instructions that I gave the Fabricator were: "Primary Objective is to keep the roof from caving in...

the rear brace The design is to acomodate a 40" tire laying flat with a tailgate on, if I were to put one on. Pictured is 37" that I currently run. A bigger tire could be mounted against the roll cage, prerunner stlye, but I am reserving that spot for a radiator, maybe. Electric fans are...
