Welcome from South West Germany. Rote Blinker wird schwierig. Bei meinem blinken die Rückfahrscheinwerfer.

Servus Sascha,

yes, mine as well.
Did you get approval or just drive without ?
Don't want to mount extra flashers nor i want to be picked out at every traffic control.
Front brushing is a problem either.

Really?

The M1009 (or Blazer) seems to be a serious threat to traffic safety in Germany.
lightings, flashers, mufflers, brush guard, window glass, ...
But we keep trying !

Hi Flumsi,
My M1009 is on German roads since 1994 and the signal flasher never was a problem. The brushguard is illegal, but still in the truck. Every two years i put it off the truck for vehicle inspection.

Haha! Thanks for telling the ugly truth - you are not the only one.

Bye for now - Flumsi
