My son is learning to drive on my M1009. I wonder how much right side mirrors cost :beer: But it is a good truck to learn to drive on - it teaches respect and a feel for the road.

Are the "pics" rules suspended for Aberdeen? Have a cold one for me :beer:

Pics? No pics, it didn't happen. Did you get the fuel heater? Actual part numbers could help us who have not purchased yet.

Drive safe CARNAC and everyone else. Blow your horn if you pass through Upper Marlboro on US-301. I can hear the trains sometimes at my farm.

I cut a 4'x6' horse stall mat into four sections to use as floor mats for the front and back seats. It is 3/4 rubber, heavy, and definitely helps with heat and some sound. Cheap too, about $40 at a farm supply. I have the hood liner from LMC but nut installed yet, trying to decide if I want...

Desert tan is a good alternative to green camo, and it's cooler too! The flat CARC style paint is much more forgiving than gloss.

Your hand will definitely affect the antenna, not to mention the possibility for a nasty RF burn. Try contacting your local Amateur radio club and see if someone can help you with a MFJ antenna analyzer.

Doghead relay mod if it does not already have it. Maybe a spin on fuel filter (on my list for the near future). A/C? Window tint? You are in Florida you know! Welcome and have fun.:beer:

However at the lower Amateur frequencies (and military) say 7mhz to 14 MHz, the folded antenna makes a Near Vertical Incidence Skywave antenna that radiates up and reflects down off the ionosphere. This gives a several hundred mile range that is difficult to geolocate from the ground. I bet you...

Window tint!

I saw the first drop test of the Enterprise out at Edwards AFB. Never got to see a launch though. Got close in 2010 but it was scrubbed more than once while I was down there.

" I hooked the battery wire direct into the battery" Probably the first place to start looking for a bad connection. Jumping bypasses the batteries and sends the power to the under hood 24V bus bar on the firewall.

Would you expect anything less in the People's Republic of Maryland? When I bought my rural land to build my home I researched the COMAR and the County code to determine what I could (and could not) do on my 40+ acres. I determined that I COULD camp (RV) on my property while I awaited the...

Made front and rear floor mats out of a rubber horse stall mat. 3/4 rubber, 4'x6', less than 40 bucks at your local farm store (I have a farm so I just snitched one that was not in use).

I've put almost 4000 miles on my M1009 since I got it last month. It reminds me a lot of my '76 K5 Blazer ;-). Runs great but I am prepared for something to go wrong. I am not more than 50 to 100 miles from home at any time so getting it home if it breaks won't be a problem. With basic PM it...

Next month is Hamvention in Dayton. If you don't get help before then you can surely get it there. Hamvention is the Mecca of Amateur Radio. Sorry, Zi don't know about PRC-77s.

I let my 16 year old son drive my M1009 on his learner's permit for his first on road driving today. Both of us survived (me and the 09).

Heater or no heater? Water in fuel or not? I live in MD and will be driving to the frozen NE in the winter. What are your recommendations for a spin on, heated, water in fuel, [maybe a glass bowl] filter kit? Or should I just put the simple spin on filter solution like my Case backhoe? OR...

The USAF used to modify their special mission C-130's in Ontario, California. When they decided to paint ours "air superiority grey" (just like a F-15 ;) ) they could no longer strip the paint in Ontario. The painting first moved to Palmdale and shortly after that moved it to the mid-west...
