Just an update. Changed the motor mounts and transmission mounts on this 4th of July weekend. The energy suspension kit I ordered fit like a glove. My passenger side motor mount literally fell apart in my hand when I took it out, so it definitely needed it. Transmission mounts were equally...
When I was looking for tires for my 1009, I didn't like many of the options. Admittedly I haven't taken my rig off road, but I drive it pretty regularly. I ended up getting a 33x12.5 Hercules terra Trac. Low road noise. Rides really nice. Kind of a cross between an all terrain and mud tire. I...
Already ordered sir! ;)
I had figured they would be toast as well so i ordered the kit you had listed in another thread.
Hopefully i wont be making a career out of changing mounts . :LOL:
That's good info to know. I appreciate the intel.
If i might ask, did you also replace your Mounting bolts? or did you just clean them up and re-use them?

After reading many of the threads here on the subject, the "kit" that seems most popular...
The wiring harness only covers the headlights. The factory setup powers the headlights through the light switch.
The aftermarket harness allows the switch to power a relay that powers the lights directly from the battery reducing the load on the circuit.
As i found the old resistors i tossed...
I had this issue with my M1009.
I head out for work at 4am and one morning , half way to work, I had no headlights. I tend to drive my truck pretty regularly so I took the nuclear approach.
Order yourself the heavy duty light harness from LMC. I believe i paid something like 25 bucks for it...
Hey gang.
Just replaced my starter bolts. Typical bolt shear situation. I noticed when replacing the bracket on the front that the stud is sheared off. It has enough starter stud left to just pass thru the bracket. The bracket is up against the starter and all bolts are tight. I should be good...
