    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    poly motor mounts & ORD X-member That....was...a...lot...of...work, with the engine in. It wasn't technically difficult, its just that with a fully functional vehicle there is a lot of stuff you can't get to. Got it done in less than a day, but would have been way easier w/out the front axle in...

    Glove box hinge fix

    The standard 19 inch rack mount blank was an easy install with the nut-sert tool. In the future, if i want to put something electronic there, its ready to receive a standard size instrument. On the trail, the door would pop open dumping the contents, I'm better off with out it. The trail tells...

    Glove box hinge fix

    When the hinge broke on mine, I realized that I don't need that dumb door anyway. Blanked it off.

    Getting my CUCV road worthy!

    The conversion utilizing two alternators in a 12V configuration is straightforward. See the REC newsnote #10 published by Roscommon Equipment Center, Northeast Forest Fire Supervisors. It has pictures :) Your challenge will be understanding, then undoing, the previous owner's handiwork.

    Lift!

    I'm doing the U-bolt reversal today...hope I ordered the right kit, based on the diameter of the axle housing. I kinda wish I did this the last time I had the springs out: the previous owner did not realize that the aftermarket rear spring packs weren't centered so one was mounted backwards. I...

    24V & 12V busses I'm not sure if this answers your question: I re-designated the ground bus (front & rear) to be a 12 V bus. The passenger side frame rail now serves as the ground bus. The intake manifold engine ground attaches there, on the frame rail. There is already a hole atop the frame...

    I like to say of the CUCV: "It will go anywhere you want....as long as you are not in a hurry."

    CUCV Starting issues

    Huh. I'm thinking of a CUCV specific accessory: It would be a large, plunger type solenoid, pipe-clamped to the starter housing. Commanded by a dash mounted push button switch, it would energize the solenoid, giving a good whack to the starter. No more crawling under the vehicle with a big...

    Black Out Light Replacements

    I'm still tinkering, thinking KC-like spots in the B/O & slave port holes.

    If you go with an upgraded engine crossmember, now would be good. I'm still struggling with how I'm gonna do that with the engine in.

    installed the pinion guard. Followup: 4IY4X made it right by sending the correct part along with a prepaid shipper to return the other one. I'm satisfied with that.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Thats where I got it. I typically do business with ORD ( about $2100 so far), thought I'd give DIY a try. I told them over the phone: " I've never done business with you guys, so I'll order something small to see how it goes." Two day shipping took eight days, and its the wrong part. Says right...

    Opinions on M1009 Tires

    I favor BFGs. I have the all terrain T/As on the Avalanche, and the Baja T/As on the Blazer.

    How strong is the brush guard?

    In this forum I don't think you'll find any haters. Fab away !! Now, some light hearted teasing might be in order, but thats all it is :)
