Looks real good! I had to go another route. My M1009 has some rust damage (some real bad) all over the floor. I'm going to have to get a shop to repair the damage. Untill money comes available, I got an OEM floor mat. Makes it look much better and when I finally get the new floor, I'll just...

Good pics. I like the idea of a stable platform for sigthing in your rifle. Great Idea! Now to find a range that'll let me drive up to the shooting lanes.....

Done this job on many trucks doing your exact procedure...time consuming yes but it will get'er done. One word of advice...a Chevy hood spring darn near took off one of my fingers when I tried to pull it off. Learned that on the very first Chevy hood (1963 3/4 ton Chevy Pickup). Never had to...

Had me wondering too. I was thinking MILES gear boxes. Scramblers are just as good!

Looks real good! I am not a welder, probably would burn the all metal barn down if I tried. Did you make the plate yourself or did someone else make it for you? I'd like to put a winch on the M1009 but didn't have an idea of how to do it till your picture was posted. Thanks Jeff

I hate to ask but how much?

Looks Good Marine! Mines getting it's last pre Armed Forces Day paint. I'll post the results soon. Thanks for the pics. Semper Fi!

Conjur is the correct spelling...says so on my spell check and it's never rong. Go for a stripped down soft top...no seats, no heater; marginal (but still safe) tires..go for the cheapest but safest you can go. Build up from there. I was last quoted $3500 for that very truck. Not sure if...

You got that right! Red tape's sole purpose IS to make life miserable. My solution...never give in and never give up. The *******s want to weed out the weak by throwing out all the tape. I live to the motto of a teflon duck. Swim through life and let nothing stick. Torque them off...go for...

Over the years I learned the lesson very well; nothing gets done until you try. I can speak for two states, Oregon and Wyoming and they're very similar. There is a definite written procedure to obtain a replacement title. The difficult part is having the DMV research the VIN and determine if...

Somewhere, I think it's in this thread, I mentioned how much these tugs were "difficult" to use. For that matter, I flat out hated towing anything with them. They were great for driving down to the fuel barn or over to one of the other Squadrons for a parts scrounge but towing, yuk. They were...

If you can get them to me, they'll go in the scrap book that's getting put together. I have several pictures but some shots of what they went through on the battle field would put more realism to the book. Thank you!:beer:

Been a while since last post, things are coming together slowly. Sand bags are in hand (Thank you) and I've got a pile of dirt out back and two hyper active kids. Now if i can only get them to put the dirt in the bags and not thow it at each other.... Anyway, rear lights received as well. I'll...

The paper is a little to small for me to see what is on it. Is it possible to scan that paper and post it as a pdf file? I'll bet we can come up with a pretty good replica if the picture is clear enough. I like the idea of slanting the mount on the door. Ease of removal comes to mind. I got...

Sorry, I don't have any pics of the mount. I don't remember there being any mounts on the Fueler HEMTT that I drove. It's an excellent idea; however, could you please post pictures of the part that you do have? You don't indicate you have the doors but on the off chance you do, could you get a...

Get it, you'll regret not doing so. Got my 54 XM-211 for alot more in worse shape and don't regret it at all. it'll be a labor of love getting it running and driving again. It's my extreme long term project (plan on 5 years). My M35's and m1009 get the parades and displays for now, better...

I just finished doing this very procedure to an M101A1. Nut had to be taken off with 3/4 inch electric impact wrench. Took about 5 minutes of pull the trigger and hold on before it came off. Next got big arsed pry bar and put it into the lunette. Note, the lunette cannot turn, it's sitting on a...

Just pulled the M1009 into the barn for the final go over for the Armed Forces Day display. I've got to straighten the front bumper, get the excess fuel filter manifold wiring under control (got rid of the box filter but keeping the wiring). paint the body, install the CB radio/antenna, remove...

No offense taken, no apology required or necessary. I was trying to clarify a possible misconseption that is prevalent in the other services. Being a two service person, I know what the Marine Corps enlisted people think of the AF enlisted folks...mostly envy. They got the good food, ggod...
