Found this for sale by me locally. Can it be used in my M1009? DB2-S4267 Thanks !

Weather is getting warmer. If anyone wants to suggest a date to meet up, I can check to see if the lot is available to us. I won't be available the weekend of the 16th.

Rick, you sure put those trucks to the test. I am impressed with the 1009 hauling that wood chipper. What a load !!! The mule is looking good and those tires really make that truck !

RGR. I am trying to get a feel of what fits so I can go to the junk yard and see what I can get on the cheap. I was also thinking about the spray can route. I saw some Plastic Coating in Home Depot the other day and in flat black. That might be the ticket if I can find the right wheels. Not...

Understand, but what, specifically, would fit. Hub centric would be awesome.

What OEM 16" Wheels Will Properly Fit the M1009 (From Any Make or Model), If Any??? I am wondering what, if any, 16" wheels from any make or model will properly fit my M1009? I am looking to go a bit bigger on my tires (running stock 31x15" now) and I am trying to see what options are out...

I guess I could walk down to DRMO and ask if they could look it up? Don't know when it came out of the government.

How can I tell if there was an EUC? I don't know how many owners before me and I have owned her since 2011. The PO had a legit MD title and so do I.

I bought it from a private party. It was titled in MD and I titled it in MD.

Quick question. I have an inquiry from overseas about buying my 1009. Aside from other precautions I will take, is it legal to sell her to someone overseas. Citizen or non-citizen?? I'd prefer not to run afoul of the law. Thank you.

Aloha Dom, I think the stuff you filled up with is a blend, perhaps 10-15% bio. Given the climate, I don't think you'll notice any difficulties and you don't need a conversion kit to use that type of blend. Conversion kits are used when you choose to use straight bio, like fryer oil. That...

Barn doors would have been awesome. Rick, I am surprised you have not taken a shot and tried to engineer a pair from a Suburban to fit.

I have seen CUCVRUS's roof rack and it looks good. I was thinking of something like what you want to do. I have seen several Jeeps with that type of system supporting the roof rack. However, as Rick said, the soft top does rub in spots and it does wear through from flapping. However, if you...

Just an off the wall question. Today I saw that Cummins is bringing out a 2.8 diesel crate motor, rated at 160 hp, 260 ft lbs torque. Since those are the same (2.8 has more HP) specs as the 4bt, I was wondering if anyone has used the 2.8 to re power a CUCV? It would be lighter and I am...

Nice spring snow you got there Rick !

I don't know if anyone is interested, but I was thinking of a Sunday morning "informal" get together for us Steel Soldier owners. I know it is still cold out and there doesn't seem to be a lot going on around these parts, but I am just throwing this out there. There is a place in Griswold...

I just picked up the headlight switch and will replace today when the temp gets above 10 degrees (hey, I'm old !!). I have the headlight harness, but I have been debating on it's install. I will check the wiring again and the fuse block too. I have seen Rick's LED setup and it is bada**, but...

OK, fired up the M1009 this morning and was about to leave for work (0515 and dark outside). I got out of the truck to take my flag down (very heavy winds) and I looked back at my truck and noticed the passenger side headlight was very dim. Now I had just replaced BOTH headlights a few months...

Expensive...................very expensive !

Thanks Rick. I think I'll go with the freeze plug heater, but if winter keeps up the way it has, I might not need it. For a winter cover, I just use pipe insulation and tie wrap it to the grill. It's simple, works great and it CHEAP as ****.
