    Need advice on M1009 upper ball joint sleeve

    I changed both joints. It would be stupid to not do both. I torqued them to spec and this is how it turned out. I thought it looked funny because the old one didn’t come out the bottom as far as this one. Glad to hear your take on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I am looking for 8x8 piece of camo netting. Doesn’t have to be the fancy IR stuff, I just need to cover some stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Need advice on M1009 upper ball joint sleeve

    So I replaced my ball joints today and I followed the install instructions in the TM pertaining to the upper ball joint adjusting sleeve but I feel like something is wrong here. The adjusting sleeve seems deep in the knuckle and a lot of threads are visible. I followed the torque instructions to...

    I want a flat black painted CUCV (like the two that I saw on the way home from work)!

    My blazer was flat black when I bought it. I prefer camo or OD on these vehicles. Whatever paint they used on my blazer was rolled on. I think it was maybe Behr paint but I'm not too sure, it was a very thick finish though. If I did it again I would buy the flat black paint that Rapco sells.

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

    Doesn’t seem that bad, almost seems easier to pull the axle and work off a bench versus laying in the floor. I’ll put it back together and see if it has issues. I’ll cross that bridge when I get it it. We used it have a great off-road shop just west of me. He did transmission, transfer case...

    I am. I did them a few years ago but while I’m in there, they are getting replaced. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ball joints. I swear every joint on this thing is loose. The upper ball joint had a bit of play so I’m doing both. Trying to get this thing tuned up before I get the new tires and an alignment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Harbor Freight Purple HVLP mod

    Long video, could have been much shorter but thats not the point. I have one of these guns, it works great! I've painted a bunch of stuff with it. I'm not a master painter but I can lay down a decent coat of paint. The spray pattern adjustment has always seemed a little coarse. I doesn't...

    Photo of CUCV makes National News

    I’m not in the Guard so my opinion is strictly from a civilian perspective but a few of the guard depots in my area still had CUCV’s up until a couple years ago. I recall driving by a couple depots and seeing them from the road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    social pressure to install a cage....

    +1 on quality race harnesses. I was gonna mention that in my earlier post but it was getting a little long winded. Most race cages incorporate what’s called a harness bar; a tube that runs horizontal behind the seats about shoulder level. That provides a solid platform for attaching the...

    Need help finding correct tie rod for M1009

    No, it’s not a high steer set-up. I wouldn’t waste my time with that on a 10 bolt axle. It’s a much nicer quality product than the OE style components. 1.25 x 0.25 wall tubing is more than strong enough for anything I’ll be doing with the truck. And I would think it belongs in the...

    I received my Offroad Design tie rod, rod ends and steering stabilizer mount yesterday. Expect a review and write-up in the near future. It will post over in the hot rodding and modifying forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
