Had a busy but good weekend on the M1010. Saturday I set out to build the mounting system for the passenger side seat. After pulling out the original seat, I ended up using the two rear "feet" off of it but found the front ones were too high, since I was going to use the Wrangler sliders...
Happy to help. Yeah, I have been forced to back out of a project before I really got into it, once I realized it wasn't really going to suit the needed requirement and would require way more time and money to get it there, than other options.
As for Ram trucks, any of the Cummins diesel...
Back on the battery project. I got the rest of the parts I needed and completed one of my two battery banks I am building. I wanted something very clean looking, serviceable and not looked all hacked together. I purchased two 120Ah BMS units from Overkill Solar off Amazon. He is a member on...
Does your buddy have a build thread or page on this swap? On my M1010, if I end up having any problems with the 6.2, I am thinking the 8.1L swap might be in order.
This is a fairly good video on how you can flush your system.
The only thing I would add to this process is, with the t-stat out and you have "drained" all the coolant/water, I would use an air compressor at 15 psi, take a rag and plug the t-stat hole and blow out the rest of the block. On...
Back on the seat project this past Saturday. Pulled the seat back out and was figuring I would need to make a new set of floor brackets and use the sliders from the Jeep seats. After getting it out, I realized the Jeep sliders did unbolt from the seat (I thought they were welded on). By...
Welcome to the forum. Cool van. Let me see if I can ask/answer your questions.
First question, two radiators??? I have owned 56 vehicles (vans included) and have never seen two radiators. My guess is, the front one you are referring to is the A/C condenser, which would be in front of the...
Google search showed this, Walmart had a total of 4,756 stores throughout the United States as of January 31, 2020. That's 10x the number of Costco's.
I just did the search for Costco and it shows 785 locations in the US. So Walmart not quite 10x but you get the idea.
I used to buy Interstate only as I have a local warehouse about 4 miles from my house. I have since moved over to Walmart Everstart Maxx as my thought process was, if I am out on a trip, I am likely to find a Walmart in more places than a Costco or Interstate battery outlet. Earlier this year...
Update from Memorial Day project. My best friend got me a hookup on some Thunder Sky LifePo4 lithium batteries. First order of business is to reduce the pack down to 4 cells, to make a 12v pack. That was a PITA as I had to re-bend and drill 16 straps. Being stainless steel, this was not a...
Well I haven't had a lot of updates on the M1010 as I got sidetracked on another project we picked up mid Feb, a '48 Chevy Stylemaster 2 door sedan.
But on to the project for today. I have been wanting to get the Wrangler seats installed and finally had free time. I pulled the drivers seat...
You will want to pull your decals while the liner is still wet. Once dry, I doubt you will have any luck getting them off, let alone with any crisp lines.
I would look at these types of rivnuts as they are slotted on the compression part and create 4 large flanges on the backside of the part. I have used these in plastic panels and they work well for applications where you want to spread the load a little more but are not trying to hold a lot of...
I am slowly building one currently. This is the second one I have owned. Cool rigs but have quirks of an ex military vehicle. Do a search on this site for M1010 and a bunch of builds will come up.

Another project I finally got completed was a rear view camera setup. I found this cool touch screen mirror setup on Amazon and thought this would be a nice way to setup the M1010. It straps to the vehicle mirror (I happened to have a spare windshield mounted mirror in my parts) and you run...
