I've never bought a vehicle from them but I have purchased parts on several occasions. They were nice people to deal with and the prices I paid were reasonable. As with any vehicle purchase, I'd try to inspect it in person, if at all possible.
You didn't waste any time getting started! It's a shame to take that cool and very nicely done custom back off but I need the hard top. Hopefully someone else will be able to put it to good use. I'm very excited to pick it up! I doubt that there's an M1009 in better mechanical shape anywhere.
I think that's Easter weekend. Might make it more difficult for some people to attend. I'll try to make it if my new 5 ton arrives by then (fingers crossed).
I pulled in to Aberdeen last year in my M1009 and asked where I should park. The guy looked at me like I was crazy for asking to park a lowly CUCV on the show field. We don't need that kind of attitude in our hobby. I'll be going to Findlay.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it this time. I recently sold my 1009 and am in the process of trading the M109a3 for a 5 ton. See you at the spring rally. Hope you all have a good time!
The mechanical gods must be angry with me. The starter in my 1009 just failed this afternoon. It appears to have remained engaged after releasing the key. I will now be the co-pilot in my buddy's 74 Land Cruiser. Still planning to arrive Friday evening.
