Default Recovered my M1009 today!

I went and got it from Warner Robins AFB today. SS member SETOYOTA walked me through the process and was a lifesaver. Thanks once again, Chuck!

The Blazer runs and drives great. I had to put a battery in it and it was a quart low on transmission fluid, but it seems to mechanically sound. The 4X4 works great, as well as the blackout lights, and the beacon light on top! It has a little rust in the rockers and a few dings here and there, but overall it is pretty nice for what it is. It actually has a perfect, uncracked dash pad, which shocked me. Somebody robbed the shackles, so I've get to get some of those, and it needs a drivers glass (broken) and a rear window regulator. I'm thrilled with it for what I gave for it.

I'm deployed from Robins right now or I could have lent a hand. I've got the tricked out M1009 with tint, a/c and a stereo. I was the envy of Fort Gordon when I was up there a few weeks ago!

It seems so. We put a battery and trans fluid it in when we got home, and drove it around most of the evening. I am going to replace the window and the rear window regulator this weekend. I ordered a pair of rockers a few minutes ago and I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with old pattern camo. I'm pretty sure my buddy is going to have to have a deuce now - maybe myself too! I'd love to see your collection sometime. Thanks again for your help!

Congratulations on a successful recovery. Is the beacon mounted in the center of the fiberglass cover?

Unfortunately, the beacon it mounted over to one side and it is screwed directly into the fiberglass cap. Its coming off when I paint it. I'm going to fix the holes.
