Has anyone ever put a soft back window in their m1009? I have an idea of using a tailgate from a m1008 or civilian truck and I want to utilize a soft window because I hate the oem back window and tailgate. I don't want it to look like a 16 year old hacked together a piece of clear vinyl to the...

This is very interesting, you have me debating on what I have planned for the Colonel (just lacking the funds right now). I do like utilizing a truck tailgate instead of the original. I might consider getting a soft top and switching out the old clunky one. If it wasn't for that window I would...

Hopefully cleaning out that vent line fixes your issue. If you still need pictures and information on adding a transmission cooler I can post them up. I think there is a thread about installing one but I cannot remember how far it goes into detail.

Installing a Transmission cooler is pretty easy, I used a B&M cooler (cannot remember Part #) like this on https://www.amazon.com/70264-SuperCooler-Automatic-Transmission-Cooler/dp/B000CIIDZE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1486312825&sr=8-2&keywords=b%26M+transmission+cooler and it works very well...

Looks like a good setup. Would you mind getting a picture or two of the interior? The digital camo is interesting but not preference.

Well currently I have 2 m1009s and a m101a1 trailer. I have plans for expanding the fleet. Once it starts it never stops/

I think one day my lawn will be covered with cucvs and I hope a good looking duece!

Tomorrow I am coming home with a 2nd m1009, it is nothing fancy but **** it runs and will be a perfect parts vehicle. It does not have a J code 6.2L but does have a C code 6.2L. It also has a sm465 tranny which might go in "The Colonel" after a rebuild. I am going to try and fashion that front...

I am not if this has been touched on because I did not read all 23 pages of this thread but I completed this mod similar to the original posting. I did run across a problem with the fuel filter base and filter I was planning on using. I bought the fuel filter base NAPA #4770 (WIX #24770) and...

Might want to get an extra belt

I would like to nominate my 1985 m1009 named "The Colonel" *I will try to get a better picture tomorrow and edit the reply accordingly

It could work but that seems like to much added stress on the brush guard. The brush guard is mounted to the frame but I would imagine the top of guard would bounce around with this added weight of a rim and tire. It would probably be best on the rear. There is already a topic on that...

Is the heater even necessary? If you are running the correct additive for colder weather is there a need for the heater? I am thinking about doing the same thing but this is holding me back. I have browsed for spin on base's with heaters and they are quite expensive compared to the NAPA spin on...

I am heading up to the mountains this weekend (snow in the forecast), I will get a good picture and throw it up here.

I think he wants to keep the original gauge

Good idea, I will have to remember this when I complete mine.

I have shot a few mice out the tail pipe before. Pretty impressive how far they fly. My dad had a problem with them getting into an old ford. We used about 4 spring traps and we emptied them daily for about a week and then they pretty much left it alone. Just a big pain in the rear

I have had problems with caliber slides in the past but with a little cleaning and some grease they work well. I would imagine with a 4 piston caliper it has a higher chance of wearing uneven due to 1 of 4 piston sticking or hanging up versus having just 1 or 2 pistons. Yes the same thing could...

When I lived in Maryland there would be a few New Jersey drivers that did not know how to pump gas. Pretty funny to watch them try

My apologies for not getting back sooner. I put a CURT hitch on (left original pintle hitch on for stock look), shocks, trans cooler, Trans & Engine temp gauges, exhaust, and a few other odds and ends. I hauled my m101a1 for about 5 hours on trip to my hunting grounds and back and it handled...
