If your info didn't say that you are from england I would have guessed you were from Florida based on that red truck. That's almost big enough to be in trucks gone wild ( a serries of videos of massive trucks that are almost completely unique to south Florida). Anyhow im guessing that you must not have to take your vehicles through an anual inspection over there where you are at lol. Do the police ticket you for driving those things on the street over there? And exactly what I suspected about the tires on that M1009. They are ground hawgs. I have a set of those on my civi blazer. They are definately considered old school tires over here.
I paid $50 for the Pro-Comp blocks. Found them online.1redgmc, after I lifted mine, it still has a slight sag in the rear. I was thinking of buying some 6" blocks for the rear just as you did, but wasnt sure exactly how much it would take to get it leveled out... Thanks for the info, now I can get it exactly like I want it. Oh, and you are also right about getting the old steering arm off, took some MAJOR persuasion and a lot of Bud Light!!
Tranny cooler for sure! I bought a Derale cooler for $65 and use it exclusively (eliminating the OEM cooler that is internal to the radiator). It runs - according to the trans temp gauge - at LEAST 50 degrees cooler this way. I guess not having to compete with engine coolant is the key.
Love the truck! Does the camo netting pull back over the back of the truck?
I have removed 3 steering arms over the years. One took the life of my sledge hammer handle while the most recent (the one off my M1009) literally knocked loose with 1 hit of a ball peen hammer. And to the guy with the body lift nightmares, how about some closeup pics of your body mounts?
