Well after months of work my M1009 project is nearing the end. All I have left to do is install the Turbo and some
Radios.
Below are some picture of my truck. Of particular interest to some of you maybe the custom rear license plate hold I constructed which actually passed inspection in Texas. The design was based on some of the ones I saw on this board but I took it a step further.
I used a harbour freight 100 lb magnet to hold the base on. The two nuts on the top have LEDs that light up the plate. I wired a cig lighter into the lights so it only provides power when I have the headlights on. I used a car accessory cable because it can stretch down when I lower the tail gate if I forget to take the plate holder down. I ran out of spade connectors so I had to use twist caps until I can pick up some more.
I installed the radio mounts, guards, and antennas. I am going for a “phase 1” install so they will be mounted to the rear with the antennas tied forward. I will have to watch those trees. And I also I got my Treadright tires installed.
What’s all this white stuff? We never get that here….the last time I think I saw it stick was 1990 here so i took a pic of it on my truck...
I found a place online that sell the new us army plastic water cans 3 for a little over $50 shipped. I will post the link when I find it again.
