    Just yesterday I had my drivers side hub not engaging. Took it apart and it was full of old wheel bearing grease. I got it to work but will have to tear back into it and clean/relube.

    Jumpseat in M1009

    My plan for if we have a 4th child is to put a center seat between the 2 front seats. Kind of like the F150's have that is an armrest/console then also functions as a seat when needed. Seems like it would be much simpler then adding a rear facing seat.

    Canvas or Vinyl??

    Ive sold both on Ebay and the canvas always brings in more money. I would keep the vinyl due to it being more durable and longer lasting.

    M1009 Radio

    I just did my M1009 yesterday. Got the factory dash speakers with brackets and antenna from a junk yard for about $10. Not a hard install, just time consuming as you'll have to run all the wires yourself since there is no radio wire harness to tap into. You'll have to use a jig saw to cut the...

    Another way to Bob a Deuce!

    There was a bobbed duece on ebay a couple weeks back that had the same set up with the trailer frame welded under the truck frame. I think it will be fine structure wise. That guy had cut the trailer frame section at 45 degree angles on the front and back, it made it look more streamlined.

    AC adapter in my M1009?

    I just picked up a couple 12v sockets from a junk yard, no tools needed. Pop the ash tray out and unscrew the socket. I spent $30 and got a couple of sockets, 2 sets of dash speakers and brackets, 1 set of factory rear cab speakers for my M1008, jack, lug wrench, and a bunch of small misc parts.
