Looks great. You didn't by chance snap a pic of the side plates you fabbed, did you?

There's a slight possibility that the government never actually purchased them. Occasionally stuff goes back to the manufacturer when it didn't get the contract. With the NSNs assigned though, these may have been purchased (although I find the even price odd).

Sheesh man, sell me a M1008.... I'm looking to build a shop when I get back from this tour. Then I don't have to sell one to buy one anymore...

I've got line on a good AW4 trans in Cali, but the vehicle it's gotta go in is FL. Trans is located in Granada Hills, and needs transport to the pandhandle, Niceville, FL. Anyone run that route?

As previously stated, each branch does their thing, but in the end we are the same team working towards the same goal. The USAF can move gear the fastest, the USN can haul the most gear but slower, the USA has the manpower to occupy a country, and the USMC has the guns and psychotic mindset to...

How many water pumps have you put on this? Are they know for being problematic?

Awesome truck. I saw this when it was on GL and wondered about the history behind it. I might change my search from M1009s to COCV-IIs or LSSVs.

That makes perfect sense, I hadn't considered it for the physics angle. The OE tow loops are pretty stout, but if you put a big boy winch on there (think Warn 16.5T) I imagine they will fail. You'll want to build one and test it out with full size winches, I'd start with an 8K and work my way...

Done it twice, but I much, much prefer to use the right tool for the job.

Very nice concept, should be pretty easy to build and sell. I'm going to fabricate a front 2" receiver for the multi mount winch I scored though.

Looks like you have a few at your disposal! If only there were more time in the day.

Wow that's a lot have acquired! How many are running and driving? The M1009 with the roof rack looks to be in pretty good shape, minus the front clip of course.

I would think if the builder mounted two to the stock bench it could kind of work, but bucket seats would be better functionally.

You're driving a 1.25T pickup, it's gonna beat you up a little. Trying lowering the tire pressure a bit (free) then add weight to the bed. If that doesn't work for you, pull the leaf packs and remove a single leaf. Realize in doing so you are reducing the trucks' capacity to haul. Driving...
