Update: Good news, gents. I had it diagnosed by a transmission shop and it only required a new vacuum pump regulator (and lines, which were dry rotted).

I'm looking at new tires for my M1009 and want something that looks aggressive (size 33/12.5/15). I'm considering the following: BFG Mud Terrain T/A KM2 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T Cordovan Mud Claw M/T Any experience or opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Gents. I sincerely appreciate the insight. Skinny, how would clutch / brake issues cause the transmission I'm experiencing? Thank you

I've read conflicting information on if it's possible to pull an M1009A2 (3/4 ton) trailer with an M1009 CUCV. I own both and was hoping to use them together. Thanks in advance for your insight.

My transmission is sticking between 1st and 2nd gear but does shift after increasing RPMs with a hard shift. I replaced the vacuum pump thinking that was the culprit but I was wrong. I suspect this may be a death sentence for the truck but I'm wondering if there is a cheaper alternative to...

Thanks guy, you're great! I'm looking to fill the cracks in the rear cap shell, not seal it to the truck. In this case, perhaps Loctite. PL S30 would work?

Is there a recommended putty or caulk for filling the seam cracks on the M1009 rear fiberglass cap? Thank you

Forgive my ignorance but I can't find a source for rear cap quarter windows for my 1986 M1009. I read in other threads that sliding windows are preferred and that factory tint is an option. Any ideas on who to contact would be appreciated.

Sorry, guys. Yes, I was trying to fit a Polaris 500 quad ATV. I'm still trying to decide between an M1009 and M1008.

With or without the top. :?:Any insight would be appreciated.

Roger that. I appreciate the clarification. I'll look for the thread and the name of the fabricator.

Yes, I know the boom was custom made but I don't believe the rack was custom made. I'm looking for the seller of the roof rack (not the boom).

Where did you buy your safari rack? I've been looking for something similar (I'm in Virginia too). Thank you.

I realize it can be a challenge with dual altenators. Thanks in advance for your insight.

I haven't found much information on mounting canoes or kayaks on M1009 or Chevy K5 Blazers. I realize the detachable roof presents complications, however, I'd appreciate any insight from experienced users.

I assume it will pull the weight, however, I'd like to know if there's any other issues I should consider before buying one from GL.

I would like to know if I'm better off buying a CUCV from GL or a private seller. Any insight from experienced buyers would be appreciated.

I'm considering adding a hitch to my M1009 for towing a 12 foot utility trailer with my compact utility tractor. Total weight (trailer and tractor) will not exceed 2,500 lbs. I've read towing with the M1009 can be a problem due to the short wheel base, however, I'm hoping a 12 foot trailer...
