I have done a few by myself, if you are working on dirt use a sheet of plywood, makes moving the jack easier. I always remove the transfer case first, not so much weight to juggle. Be sure to support the back of the engine as well. I'm sure others will chime in with some tips.
Lots of measuring and it is installed, the wire around the lever is a safety catch included in the hardware kit, prevents the pto lever from being engaged by accident. Next project is ready to go.
I would think before you put the glass in the channel you could carefully squeeze it tighter making the channel narrower so just the rubber will hold it.
Thank you papabear/patracy for taking the time to administer the poll. Would also like to thank all the Steel Soldiers members who have supported the project as without them I could not have completed it. Mkcoen, was my inspiration for finding and restoring one and without him I would not have...
Yes, it has the surge brake, that's about all I carry in my trailer is camping gear. The M1009 has stock suspension, tires etc. Glad I could help, I thought a picture would be worth the effort so you could see my results. Also since you are new to the sight and might not know, if you click on...

Thanks to all the SS members who have supported my truck in the past and the current support and a special thanks to all the REFORGER/Cold War Vets. A nice group of trucks from the past year for sure. The Goat is still a work in progress, wearing a winch on the front now and tucked in for the...
Don't mess around with after market thermostats, from the parts stores, china junk. I just went through the same issues, get a real one made from all metal. A guy on ebay is selling original new USGI thermostats, just type that part number in the search and it will pop up, he is from NY, good...
