M1009 off road

[REDWOLF]

How good is your M1009 off road stock or other wise. What did you do to it to make it better.

Great, I got stuck in the mud once so i put on a set of 33X12.5 Goodyear mtr 2. Have not found anything i couldnt get through.

Stock everything and doesn't even know it's in the mud. This is in a field in MD after the rains last week. (sorry for the ruts dad)

I have to say the 1009 hands down is the most capable mudding machine in stock form. When that g80 locker violently slams into place it will churn through anything until the bumpers get suctioned down.

If its your first few times out, make sure you get on the throttle before the mud and stay on it until you are through, the 6.2 needs a little runway to spool up so you are at maximum damage

Oh and try hill climbing, its unbelievable what it can go up

For a full size truck they do darn good. Short on power in the sand tho. I want a turbo on mine.

 

[Cucvnut]

your fine for light and some what med wheeling just dont expect to getout of a big mud pit

There are really good off roading stock, i have street tires and they do great i have gone thru water halfway up the doors and i didn't get stuck. My avatar shows the tires and there are not aggressive at all but i have still never manged to get this thing stuck.

My old M1009 did not do very well at the sand dunes. It was ok on flats but not much power for any hills.

From what I've seen, a M1009 can do about the same hills that the deuce could, which are none. Its the gearing though, slap a set of 3.73s in there and the sand won't know what hit it.

This wasn't me driving at the time.

Here is a poser shot I took for a photography class.

It gets around ok.

Not exactly a 1009 either.

Otherwise badass.

Coming from the beach, just make sure your tire pressure is low and don't dig your self down in a hole.

Oops... I got them backwards

4" lift and regeared mine and did 3/4 ton axles. Mine likes rocks. With the diesel it is way more capable than the gas blazers.

From the GA rally- an M1009 "in action". I did great from what I saw.......
