If you can fix the channel so it is sturdy again you can re-felt the channels with regular felt. I picked some up at Ace Hardware and some strong adhesive. When I put everything back in I also noticed the glass would hit/slide on the regulator and added some felt on the middle part of the...
Took the rubber floor mat out and discovered rust duh:drool: and some patch work done on the drivers side floor, but why after all that work would you put the rubber floor mat back on so it would happen all over again aua My bed liner interior is going to have to wait till I can fix the floor :beer:
Firecontrol I looked in the -20 under "Rear bumper, tow hook bracket, and tie down clevises replacement" but what you are showing in the picture is difficult to compare to the TM pics.
If you are not putting the pintle and associated mounting hardware back on I would sure like to give it a new...
I replace the tailgate window regulator and since everything was out of the tailgate I cleaned up things nice and pretty while adding some black rustoleum here and there. Also I am trying out Peel & Seal as a sound/thermal insulator. I've read on some hotrod forums that some guys use Peel &...
I don't know if you got your window and tailgate back together, I just finished, but I wanted to point out something I noticed. When the window is down the glass likes to bump against the window regulator so I added some felt to that area. I outlined it in red on the picture below.
Deepsea any chance of you setting aside some JP4. I am on the east coast of florida, but I make a trip to Crystal River every month for my drill weekends. I would love to clean out my engine a little.[thumbzup]
Now that I have begun to troll the internet and salvage yards for parts, mods, upgrades, etc I am beginning to wonder if it is cheaper in the long run to buy another M1009 solely for parts. I am really interested to hear from the guys with multiple MVs. That being said I love M1009 and wish I...
I wanted opinions from persons more knowledgeable than I ;) as to whether or not the swing out spare tire carriers from a HMMWV could be used on a M1009 and still use the tailgate:?:
I've had that overhead speaker setup from LMC on my wishlist since I saw it on Devil's awesome m1009 build. I also like how he put extra gauges up there too. Does is sound as good as it looks :beer:
WOW you could eat off that engine it is so clean[thumbzup] Like you I have been looking on this site for a while and finally picked up my m1009 from a fellow member. Have fun making the vehicle your own. My brother said the same thing about me smiling :D the entire trip home :beer:
Basically the same stuff as joann's that I found at ace hardware and some really noxious glue/contact cement that I found at the same place that is supposed to be good up to 200f. I can grab some pics later but it looks like pool table green felt, but I can't attest to the durability yet.
:grin:Hey I used to be a 68Y(well its 15Y now). A fellow soldier that was stationed at Ft. Carson told me Cage signed one of the black boxes in the Apache used in the filming and that it was still in Apache flying around (back in 2002 at least). I'm guessing now that Apache has been stripped...
Well I jinxed myself aua I opened up the tailgate because the regulator would jump while cranking and figured things inside just needed a little cleaning and lubing. Well my first indication that something was wrong was when I took the crank out and found little pieces of"something" :sad...
2nd Battery 24v?
When you connect to the rear battery it is in series with the front battery so shouldn't you be getting straight 24v instead of the 12v that you need? Thanks for the great pics :beer:
That paint job is awesome. I looked up POR 15 Hardnose and it looks like some pretty tough stuff. We just need them to come out with some 383 green, tan, and other mil spec paints. :idea:We could be their "research group" to put the paint up to some tests.
