Looking forward to seeing some details on the ORD lift as you get it installed. I am also planning a 4" ORD lift with the shackle flip in the rear, once the budget allows. I've been sort of back and forth on the lift height that I want to go with, but as you mentioned early on in this thread...

Looking good!!! Awesome to see some more details about the build on here. I should try to be more active on here, IG doesn't really provide the same level of detail or usefulness haha

The rack looks rad! Awesome to see a few more details on here... IG doesn't provide enough detail for fellow M1010 owners haha I'm thinking of doing a similar style rack, but had planned on making it the full width of the box. Reusing the captive nuts from the AC is a very smart idea though.

BFG All Terrain TA's... got them when the new KO2's were released so they were half price.

Brainstorming Camper Ideas We have a few ideas for our new blank canvas, with lots of details still to be worked out. We're planning to lay it out similar to the old Blazer Chalet campers, to make better use of our space. (specifically we like the bench/table area serving double duty as the...

Sorry for the lack of updates, more to follow. Little cheesy video I put together, more updates to follow.

If you can find an M1010 in decent condition I would highly recommend it. It's been an awesome rig and has been relatively easy to work on, even for a newbie like myself. It's also a very stout, "over axle'd", truck. I've been posting more regular updates on Instagram as it's a bit easier (I...

The floor around where the headlight dimmer switch was mounted rusted through. So the military took out the dimmer switch, wired the headlights so they were always on "high beam" then put a mat over the hole. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I'll do both! Just have to repair the rusty floor first (and patch the hole left from the headlight dimmer switch which rotted out)

I took a good look at running the 255/85/r16 tires... I had almost decided on buying a set of BF Goodrich Mud Terrain KM2's in that size but decided to stick with my plan of buying new 17" wheels. Although it seems like most 16" tires are cheaper than the comparable 17" version, there are a a...

'86 M1010 CUCV Camper Project still lots to do, but it's on the road!
