Here it is.

I'd like to go but I think my M1009 is too modified now to count as a MV show-piece. At least it's still camo though.

I was all into the idea of a body lift on my M1009. Until I saw how it looked. The bumpers being attached to the frame had a huge gap between them and the body. To compensate for this the shop wanted to alter the recovery/tiedown clevis mounts. This would have rendered them "decorations". Go...

Thank you for the link. What about acceleration and highway hill climbs? At present any kind of hill takes me from 65-70 to 55 tops. I'm constantly downshifting to keep up.

Only a few letters and a few hundred miles off.;-)

Speaking of highway speeds. How does 35" tires and 4.10 gears sound. Compared to the 33" tires and 3.08's I'm getting rid of?

Yep, Santa Clarita area. (Magic Mountain)

Well I kind of thought the truck frames would be a bit stronger, but still thought it was worth mentioning. I just started wheeling my '09 a few months ago. No rock crawling, nothing more daring than a level 6 trail. On a 1-10 scale.

I'm upgrading my M1009 with a corp 14 bolt and Dana 60 right now. I'm also going with 35" tires. I am also putting a reinforcement piece on the frame by the steering box. I'm told it is common for the frame to crack/break there. If the 08's break at the same place you may want to upgrade your's...

You are the kind of neighbor some of us wish we had. Your truck hasn't caused some to think the National Guard responded has it? [thumbzup]

My licensed Harbor Freight style trailer morphed into an M416. Strange how that happened.;-)

RDUKW what's the secret code word? How many $20's do you hand over with your paperwork?:grin:

Hey WARWAG what is that device on your dashboard? Got a better pic of it?

DDUKW you got lucky. My local AAA would not handle the government to civi transfer/registration. I ended up going to the DMV with my truck and having them inspect it. Registration was easy from that point though.

Took my wife out in my M1009. Once she realized that it could handle the terrain she had a blast! How cool is it when the our spouces actually enjoy our hobbies?

Here in California my M1009 is registered as any other SUV. An it is old enough to be exempt from emissions testing. I don't think the M1009/1008 etc are old enough to qualify for special plates.

Perhaps an artificial reef, San Diego could use another contribution to wreck alley. How cool would SCUBA diving on that be?

Thanks for posting the links 73m819. I just found out that I don't have all the spindle nuts, washers and dust caps for my M416. The drawing in the TM really helped.

Congrats Stonepicker! :-D

I ordered my door panels, side marker and tail lights, rear view mirror, side mirrors and an underhood light from them. The shipping is high but everything was packaged well. I haven't found anything to complain about. Yet.:beer:
