How's the truck?

Jake changed the oil by himself yesterday! Today it's pouring rain and he picked up some new headlights and a neighbor found an old Jerry can he gave us that we are going to remove the rust from and paint

He wants to play with the 4wd next. He hasn't messed with that at all.

Ok.
That's great he has to learn just like everyone else does.
Do you guys know how the 4x4 work and everything?

Cool.

i know how it works but its been years since i had to hop out of a truck stuck in the mud & flip the wheel lockers

i want to say the 4x4 instruction guide is still glued to one of the visors but i'm not 100% positive. jake has been out and about with the truck all weekend so i haven't been able to fool around with it in several days.

i want to make sure both 4lo and 4hi are working as expected and then get him doing it a few times just to get comfortable with going through the actual motions with it.

Ok.
If the tag is gone let me know and I should be able to send you a pic of mine if you want it.

Also here is a site for stickers and such. http://www.militarystencils.com

When I figur I'm going to get stuck I lock in the hubs then pull the lever when needed.

awesome link!!! jake is dying to get the black star repainted on the front bumper but we don't know where/which one is the correct one to use as a pattern.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

I don't know anything about the correct markings. I just know that they sell stickers there.

Also I remember you said something about the bash pad. I found a guy with some. I don't know if you like what he has got or not but I figured I'd let you know. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?142796-New-CUCV-parts-for-sale-9-and-up
