    What OEM 16" Wheels Will Properly Fit the M1009 (From Any Make or Model), If Any???

    Pretty much all 1/2 ton Chevy/gmc truck wheels will bolt up, you'd just have to double check backspacing.

    So, on a scale of "Meh" to "Dude, you're gonna die by death wobble"

    hes just being a dick instead of noting that you said bump stop to frame instead of bumpstop to u-bolt plate.

    So, on a scale of "Meh" to "Dude, you're gonna die by death wobble"

    Fenders can easily sag/move/misalign over the life of a vehicle. Measuring from bump stop pad (or end of bump stop if original)to the spring plate is more accurate

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

    Finally got a seat bracket worked out for the new seats. Still need to weld it all up and paint. Then it'll be time to duplicate it for the other side.

    To turbo or not to turbo 6.2 Diesel?

    It seems to vary so much depending on throttle input and load. I can still hit 10psi at higher elevation. My 5.3 truck does pretty good up i70 which makes me want an ls engine in my cucv

    To turbo or not to turbo 6.2 Diesel?

    Was wondering the same thing, on trails I've been as high as 12,000 ft here and I can assure you even with boost it's certainly still a dog. Trying to climb i70 up to 11,000ft and keep any speed is also pretty much impossible.

    Looking great! I need to change my inner seals on my d60 and I'm not looking forward to it.

    CUCV Arctic Grille Front

    It's also in the Arctic kit install TM page 91-92. The screw in snaps can be found at most hardware stores. That's where I got a replacement. The 1/4 turns I've seen as well.

    CUCV Arctic Grille Front

    So what is it that you actually need pics of? There are 3 snaps under the hood and 2 quarter turn clips on the sides of the grill halfway up. The bottom tucks in behind the bumper and there are loops (though I don't use them because of my winch location)

    CUCV (M1009) Headlight Issue

    They don't seem worth the money to me. I actually think once the headlights are ran with the new harness that they work quite well. Plus you don't have to worry about icing over (though maybe they won't be such an issue because they're vertical).

    CUCV Brakes Question (M1009)

    Dot 5.1 is NOT silicone based like dot 5. It's still glycol based but has a higher boiling point than dot 3/4

    Anyone Towing With a 6.2 Diesel?

    B&m (and probably others) sell trans coolers with an electric fan. That would certainly help with very low speeds assuming mechanically everything else is in check

    Headlights acting wacky, need info

    A headlight harness with relay will also take the strain off the stock wiring. Lmc truck sells one as do plenty of people on eBay.

    Center mount intercooler?

    You don't have anything in your signature. There is no kit that I've seen for that. I think you'd just have packaging issues up top. My old wrx had a ton of room up top due to the flat 4 engine. I don't see behind the grill to be a weak spot, many trucks and cars put it in that location. i...

    Center mount intercooler?

    Like a Subaru? I think space will be difficult with something like that. There's plenty of room up front and you'd have plenty of room to pipe it. I also don't think an IC is going to do much on these engines with little boost.

    D60/14BFF Axle Swap on M1009

    I plan on getting longer front shock mounts at some point (probably not the fords)but need to redo my downpipe so I have a place for the shock to sit. Ill probably go with bilsteins since they feel awesome on my Silverado. Right now I have tuff country shocks. Made in the USA but are harsh...

    D60/14BFF Axle Swap on M1009

    2" tuff country springs up front and a zero lift shackle flip with long shackles. I had to cut the front fenders quite a bit.

    D60/14BFF Axle Swap on M1009

    A few things to add: front brake lines: I went with braided lines but you can use 2wd square body lines up front with a lift. They're a few inches longer. Just need to remove a metal bracket that is around the hose. The master cylinder was a direct bolt on other than having to move the lines...
