    Recirculating Coolant Heater?

    Let’s talk about this. So the outlet would be a t fitting on one of the heater core hoses and the inlet would be somewhere on the lower end of the block…. So where is the best place on the lower end of the block to tap into? Perhaps a freeze plug on driver side with a bung welded to it?

    Jesus! That Sherpa winch is a great deal! I paid $2800 for my Warn 24v winch about 8 years ago and it is only rated 12k. Nice score! Have you thought about winching up a big tree or a 100% vertical incline just to see if it would lift it? Would be cool. I’ve thought about doing that for fun. Now...

    The One Stop 700R4 Swap M1009

    The older np208 transfer case’s are designed to have part #12, which is the trans/t-case support rod. It prevents the transmission case and bell housing from cracking. They are not made anymore and are quite rare to find. If your np208 has those 2 bolt holes for the support rod, then I recommend...

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

    This morning I plugged in the CUCV with the intent to drive it to the shop and work on it. After doing 2 loads of dishes, all the laundry and clean house, I thought an old man nap was needed. When I woke up, the wife was back from work and demanded more work out of me. Now it’s about 8pm and I...
