NICE! I haven't looked through this thread in a while, did you ever end up taking the Mazda on the TAT? And how many miles is that since the engine swap?

I've seen some of your posts on the CUCV Facebook page. You've done good with the build so far.

Very nice

This is about the best thread that I found when I did mine: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?59375-Manual-Glow-Plug-install You're right it is supposed to be the lighter blue wire, next to the purple wire. I spliced my switch just like the picture shows, and mounted it to the little...

That's what I did to add a push button, I think my card still works ok, but I wanted it as a back up and so that I don't have to cycle the key so many times if I want to cycle the plugs more. I spliced off the blue wire and ran the other side of the button to the ground terminal up above the...

Awesome trip report, especially the pictures! I'll be checking for the next update as well.

I ended up finding a pretty clean '86 1009 back in February. So far I've converted it to 12 volt, changed to a spin on fuel filter, changed out the starter relay, and put some 33x12.5 KO2's on it. I drove it up until about a month ago, but I need to rewire my glow plugs and I think replace some...

Man I love this van and seeing what all you put it through.

Funny you say that, This build is one of my favorites. I sold my XJ 2 months ago and bought and 86 M1009 K5..

Man this is one of my favorite builds. So simple but so cool. This thread actually led me to Expedition Portal when I was researching the 93 I had a few years ago, this has probably been one of my top 5 visited sites ever since.

Another instagram follower of you and bornforadventure here. Your TAT trip was pretty fun to follow along with, have any trips like that planned for the M1010? I was looking at M1009's a couple years ago but settled and got an XJ instead... Now I'm back to looking at CUCV's again, thinking about...

I follow both of you guys on instagram and a little bit here as well. Not sure which rig I like the most, but I definitely envy both lol. It would be pretty cool to see you guy meet up.

If you figure out a way to do this and keep the the back of the rear seats level with the cargo area floor, please post it up lol.

This whole project is pretty awesome. Gauge cluster came out good too. Subscribed to see where else you go with it

Man that wide body kit is pretty wild looking. I like it, have any more pictures?

Ah man this would be awesome to see

Spare tire carrier turned out nice. I'd like to do that as well

My thoughts exactly.

Awesome trip report man, thanks for sharing. I'm hoping to get to make some trips like this in the future.

Man I'm loving this thread
