    selling an m1009, quick question

    Gamble either way....Id guess a used softopper would be $500-600.....I would think off emotional appeal it would increase the value of your m1009 more than that, as they are unique. I cant get over how many more compliments and people approaching me I get with mine....

    Any experience with Colorbond interior dye/paint?

    Ordered replacement door panels for my 09, going to try to save a little $ and use colorbond to paint the dash...Has anyone done this? When I get around to it Ill update this thread with pictures....Figure for $15 it's worth a shot, if it turns out bad Ill just get a dashpad:razz:

    So simple Im embarrassed to ask..Trans cooler lines

    So I removed my radiator and had the rad shop recore it...It came apart easy...Going back together, I cant get the trans cooler lines to thread in to save my life...Neither one of them..The rad was repaired so the threads should be the same..no damage....Just cannot get it started at all..What...

    Painted the M1009 (Behr paint)

    My buddy painted his offroad truck with sherwin williams CARC, and recently did the underside with the properly mixed paint from HD...The color is very close..The carc has a better texture, and is much much stronger....I went with SW for mine and have no regrets...Once it was paid for ;)
