I was driving to a woodworker supply place Monday night 11-29-2010, and on Rte 84 in Hartford CT in the westbound lane was a tractor-trailer with a flatbed trailer, hauling a nice looking M1009. Anybody on here own it? I took it as a sign..... I have been wanting an M1009, and thinking about parting with my M1008......I don't have enough room for a large herd, and the ideal pickup truck for me is something 3/4+ ton rated with a diesel, capable of 70mph (Modern civy truck). An M1009 would be my fun vehicle for the beach, fire roads etc. Just thinkin'.........
