THZ71's M1008 build

Straightened the bed back out with the help of a cummins
put the stock hitch back on the rear for a tow/push/winch point 2nd battery mount mocked up Had to have the bolts that came with it extended, and ordered an isolator

Put my new shocks on and promptly maxed them out. So that sucks batt box mounted. Had to cut it some after this pic so the hood would shut

(Edit) and now I just realized that if I had to cut the battery mount the hood still won't close when I put a battery in it lol wow.

Time for ifs swap and long travel. It's the only solution

sent from my glade air freshner

It's all on the list haha

Fixed my weather stripping fixed my tach fixed my voltmeter. Moved the batt mount to the opposite side. wired it up Had to trim the hood structure then cleared the bed off the list for memorial day is getting pretty short.

Hi lift mounted pre filter installed rear diff vent extented to the bottom of the bed. Only way it gets water in it is if my feet are under water In the cab. That's how I'll know I need to drain the rear diff. Pass front shock installed even though like I said in the last post the drivers is acting like a bump stop. Because tbh I quite like that idea I'd rather replace shocks than mangled leaf springs rear lighting installed wired up floor has some problems that I half ass fixed last summer with heat ducting pulled all that junk out used my toolbox from a rolled parts truck getting there better than nothing

LOL if this wasn't the military truck, I'd say it's my old one. That gigantic, Flinstone hole under the gas pedal is exactly where the hole was in my floorboard in my swuarebody. I always joked with my friends and said if it broke down, I could yabba-dabba-do my ass back home

Yah that's pretty common lol

I'll throw up some wheeling pics. Loaded up. at the camp ground go pro mounted first trip out I dropped the driveshaft twice and broke broke a shock mount this is where the driveshaft decided to leave my buddy welding the shock mount back on So then I decided I was going to move the axle back a notch. So i wasnt puttkng my driveshafy back in after every hard hillclimb. So I took most of the pressure off of it with a my hi lift then used my come along and pulls it straight back pried the leaves down and put the bolts back in. this was the truck Friday night at beer time the next day we went back out in the morning and we're out all day. Hardest day of wheeling I've ever been apart of. I was the only one in our group with an open front and I was very happy with how the truck did considering that and the worst 36" tires ever made. Worst problem I had was some rather extreme overheating we're talking 300+ degrees steam fogging up my cab, boiling over, heater core leaking, radiator emptying overheating. I NEED E FANS!. Didn't have time to take alot of pics with my phone so I'm hoping my go pro footage comes out. Here's one time I got stuck, as you can see where we are isn't even a trail get. That log got stuck in between my fender and tire and it took 2 trucks wincing to get me moving again. The hill is really steep the pics don't show it but there was no backing up lost my Ps cap so I tried to use a garbage bag to keep dirt out. It didn't work that 300 degree heat turned it into liquid So it got a water bottle cap for now

Looks like a good time. Is motor alright from being overheater that bad?
