Changed the glow plugs to 60g, not much of a difference. then i made the mistake of changing the fuel filter that was at 10:00 its now 1:00 and still after trying to charge the filter there is still no fuel in it! and the cucv had a brand new lift pump put on it 500 miles ago.
Hopefully some time this year it will run again:(.....................................time for a modern spin on filter!

big day. Took out a lot of aftermarket wiring that the PO did. Took off the aftermarket foglams and all of it's circuitry. bundled up the wiring for an aftermarket radio that is no longer present, then started wet sanding all of the old paint. It's awesome. I can start to see the original OD Green underneath all this weird blue

-12 V conversion
-Transmission cooler
-Water Temp, Transmission Temp, Oil Pressure, Voltmeter gauges
-Changed all the fluids
-2" Steel Spacers
-37" HMMWV Runflats

Now I'm trying to fix the death wobble :soapbox:
Hopefully if that gets fixed I can move onto the 4" lift, and then eventually 5.9 Cummins with six speed Allison or something along those things.

Finally, redo the interior!

Have added an AB-15 Antenna on the Bracket and Brush Guard. Looks great. Planning on purchasing a CB radio for it. I also used the antenna hole on the other side for an after market GM radio antenna. Just a temp mount for now. I have been moving into my new house and that has taken priority. I am planning on finding a more permanent placed for it. My radio is mounted to the front of my OE console. Will show more pictures later.

you said "Rebuilt the kingpins with all new pins, seals and bearings"
looking to do this have the death wobble at highway speed hit a bump
heard there has a spring that you can add fender washers to to gain the tension back? what was the part number/brand if you can recall to do the rebuild and did it have a spring? thanks
