In the state of Idaho you own your plates and they travel from vehicle to vehicle. When you sell your car you are required to remove the plates. I think I have some old Washington state plates and I will look for some Idaho plates for you.
The shop could not find the rod...
Did you weld the points or bolt them to the frame? Just asking because it seems like if they were welded and you need to do any repair to the truck that required removal of the brush guard you would have to cut it off. Would it be possible to get another detailed picture of the attach point on...
It looks a lot like this setup.

This looks like it would be a good companion article for this project. I like it. Will be in touch.
The the #325482 bedside tire carrier looks like a good way to go for a driver side mount. I think I will go to the junk yard and see what I can find. Thanks for the input. I could put a fuel can on the other side and still have room for a sheet of plywood. Now I need to find or make a fuel...
It is not really an issue of failures although in the NW you do have some areas of rock outcrops that can slice a tire open. It's not that I need to carry 3 tires. I just don't ever want to mess with the one under the bed after my last experience. I have two extra mounted tires that I want to...
You both make good points. I agree about the tire just adds too much weight and potential problems to the front. I didn't consider the frame rail issues. I mainly wanted to put it on the side because I already have a receiver hitches mounted on center both front and back. I use that for a...
I fought the tire and the tire won. The under mount spare is impossible to work with. Won't bore you with details. If you've done it you know.
I want to be able to carry a total of 3 spares. I will leave the one under the bed for a last resort tire. I am also considering the option of...
Greetings from Post Falls.
I don't know what you are "looking to buy" but Craigslist Spokane has a M1008 listing. Also in a separate listing someone has a complete Service bed for sale. I don't have any part of these post. I'm just passing along information.
I want to mount a winch on the side of my M1008 bumper. I am looking for mount design plans. I saw this mount system on a TV show and I like the idea. I have a receiver hitch mounted front and back on my truck that I want to keep available so I don't want a center mounted winch. Has anyone...
Thank you for the pictures and the part number. I took that information and looked on eBay as suggested. I found a new in box for 42.99 shipped. Since I am going to replace the wiper motor also I thought new is better than used. ebay has them from $25 on up to over 100. If you punch in the...
If you don't mind I could use pictures. My body is too broken to do much contorting. I will need someone younger to do any installation. I didn't know about any module under the dash. When I bought the steering column it didn't come with any extra modules so I'm guessing, based on what you...
Thank you for the replies. I can't answer some of the questions since I am not a mechanic. I had someone else put it in. They said they have extra plugs on the column but no place to plug it into the motor. I don't know. I can only guess that the plugs are on the column since it came out of...
I put a tilt steering column in my CUCV. The column has all the multi wiper speed settings. The original wipers are slow and the fluid doesn't flow in my CUCV so I would like to upgrade to more modern multi speed wipers. I am not a mechanic so can anyone tell me what I need to do to modernize...
I have been trying to get an answer to this question for over a year. No luck so far. I have an M1008 that I would like to put buckets into but no one seems to have done it or doesn't know what seats will fit. If I ever find the answer to what buckets will fit in a CUCV M1008 I will let you...
I have back problems and the bench seat in my m1008 is not cutting it. Can I put civilian bucket seats and a center console in a m1008? Has anyone done that? What seats will fit? What console? Does anyone have detailed info on how to do this? A friend is going to do the work if I get the...
I have a chance to get a military surplus NEW Injection Pump Head & Rotor at a reasonable price. I had a shop tell me my problem is my injector pump is worn out.
Can you replace just the Injection Pump Head & Rotor or do you need to replace/rebuild the entire injector pump? Is it a good idea...
