A clearer pic of the relay.

K9vic this the relay it has now, should we change it?

Here are a couple pics of the front battery tray in progress. The tip of the scraper is where the weld broke loose.

The batteries ended up costing 60 bucks plus tax. The 40 dollar ones were not the right ones. K9vic James and will be trouble shooting the charging problems on his 1009 this weekend. Right now I am cleaning up the front battery tray. Had a lot of rust and a place where a spot weld broke loose. I...

James I got a hold of the Interstate Battery rep. He said that they have factory seconds with 900 CCA for around 40 bucks. I am taking the top to the battery hold down with me and pick you a pair of batteries. We will work out the details later. :driver:

It was a great time had by all. James I thought you were asleep going up the hill on the way back. Wait a minute you were asleep most of the time on the way back. Next year I am sure you will driving your M1009 you just bought from a great guy (Namely Me). :)

Nice set up. Looks right and do those gauges come in a more subdued color. :beer:

Thanks Rory all it needs is a new camoflauge paint job and tires and its done. All ready got the antenna Mount brackets and antennas. I'm gonna drive it in the up coming Lockhart parade. Wohoo its first public viewing.

Well today Jhyatt7 and I drove to the Ft Worth area to pick up the 1986 M1009 I purchased from K9Vic. That man is a CUCV wizard. He went to the trouble to install new shocks and a steering dampener before I picked it up. This was wasn't part of the deal for the agreed price it was a bonus he...

Patracy, it had the dynamat, a layer of some kind of rubber mat then the carpet it seemed to work pretty good. Unless it completely covered up with carpet or a a rubber mat I think it looks pretty ugly. I plan to cover inside with spray in bed liner after I get rid of the stuff.

Okay so the previous owner of my 1009 installed carpet in the passenger compartment. Under the carpet he used sound deadening Dynamat, He also covered the cargo area up to the top of sides with the stuff. I guess he ran out of the mat or money for the floor area on the drivers side floor board...

WooHoo second post for me. Anyway I found an M1009. A Texas A&M student was selling it to pay for his tuition. Talk about meant to be short story to follow: My son Nicholas and I were always talking how we were going to buy 2 M1009s. One to restore and one to play around with. That kid loved...
