Howdy,
I've been reading and posting here for a few weeks now... tons of info to sort through... thanks to all who contribute to this site!
I just won my first auction. The EUC is in and I'm making plans concerning the retrieval of my new M1009 from Huntsville (Redstone) i won in the auction on the 5th of May.
I'm planning on renting a car hauler from u haul (@$60) and borrowing a 1998 Chevy 1500 ex cab 4x4 up there (its got a hitch receiver and winch on the front to winch the M1009 on the car hauler). U haul has approved the two vehicles for the load/tow vehicle combo. I have the registration for the truck (and it has base accesses stickers as I and the guy I'm borrowing the truck from are both in the USCG).
I haven't been able to get up there and inspect the vehicle between work, the recent devastation up there, and we delivered my new son the day I won the autcion as well! So I'm just going to haul it home then see about getting it running. Anyways, I'm wondering if you can suggest something I haven't thought of for picking it up.
Also looking for suggestions concerning going over it and first starting and modfying it.. I'll start another thread in the CUCV forum for that sort of info!
Thanks in advance for your help!
Tom
