Cigarjoe, I would not be afraid to pickup with a towbar, and move yourself. I have purchased 5-M1009's and 2-M1008's and always used a car trailer. Rental is $50 + insurance. I had a 6 hour drive down, and 7+ back, would never have made the 24 hr. rental. I am now comfortable using the...

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/25643-644-miles-towbar.html This link also has a few other helpful links. You will need to grind down the 2x6 tubes to allow the bar more up and down movement. Bob M was a big help.:-)

I purchased at Tractor Supply, ($129.00 I think). I also bought the tow chain kit, it is 4 seperate chains with hooks, and also worked great. I did not take off any shafts, just put the transfer case in neutral. I will post the link I used to fabricate, once I find it. I am heading out to...

Have been searching for other similar threads, but did not find any answers. Have a question: My M1009 is really hard starting when cold. Sometimes I about give up, but starts. Do not want to put that type of strain on the starter continuosly, and need some help. Not sure if the glow plugs...

We will be picking up a M1009 from VA. Richmond. I have never been, and wondered what to expect. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Left a message today with the person at the number listed, (Jackson), have not heard back yet. Thanks much,:smile:

Agreed!! I think it's the whole "lawnmower thing". :doh::doh:

Thanks, I found the Doghead conversion, and will complete today. (Keep your fingers crossed) :-D

I have a bad starter relay in my M1009:evil:. I need to replace. Are the 12 volt relays the same? Can I purchase at an Auto Zone, or parts store etc??? I need to get this running today. Thanks much in advance for the help. :-)

Hello??

Recovered another M1009 today at Bordentown NJ today. It was by far the easiest recovery I have done to date. Simple getting in, and out, located just off RT 295. Chris on site is very helpful, and my father and I were in and out within 30 minutes. The vehicle seems in great running...

Also how long have your SF-97 requests taken? Seems it varies, as I sent in 4 and each has been drastically different. Thanks,:-D

Searched everywhere, could not find this information. Little help, What Weight? And What GVWR? Did you guys put down when filling out your SF-97?? I picked up a nice one today in Bordentown. Will post photos tomorrow of the road trip. Thanks all, :-D

Thanks, I am picking up tomorrow. Will post pictures. Everyone seemed nice so far. I did get Chris' cell phone. I plan on being in and out quick. I have a trailer to load up the M1009, and it supposedly runs.:-D Thanks again,

\ \ Event # 4687 I will post photos and details upon completion. Thanks,

Any additional information you could provide is much appreciated. Looks simple enough travel wise, 2 1/2 hours for me. Just looking to avoid any suprises the day of recovery. I purchased another M1009, looks nice. Thanks again,

I am picking up a M1009 from New Jersey Bordentown in the next 2 weeks. Can anyone give me some information/details about the site? Or tell me about your last visit. I have never been, and do not want any surprises the day of recovery. Thanks, :-D
