    I know RockAuto's shipping can be a bit pricey but yikes :oops: I just checked out Raybuck and looks like it will save me some $$$ so thanks for the tip.

    New M1009 Owner - Plans and advice

    Hey guys! First time posting here but I’ve been reading the forums for a while now, and I’m excited that I can finally be a part of the community now that I got my M1009.
