I found a m1009 with a yellow light mounted on top...

... like it was a MP vehicle or something, but I was under the impression MP's used blue lights just like the civilian police force. Am I wrong?

So what was this vehicle used for? I'm just curious because it has reeeeeaaly low miles.

Could have been a convoy commanders truck, motor section truck and so on......does not have any real special meaning.

Could have been a "Road Master" as well. In the Marines these guys were in charge of enforcing all tactical vehicle rules. They were a pain in the n*ts. They would pull you over and count the number of Marines in the back, ensure you had a signed letter from the CO allowing you to transport beer back to the field, trip ticket accuracy, check for troop straps etc. Just a thought.

Would like to see a picture of the light, is it s full lightbar or just a small beacon?

Something similar to this;

Just more squared off. I haven't actually bought the truck yet, so no actual pics.

Whoever drove the thing, they did so very rarely, or made super short trips because the thing has less than 4K miles on it.

We had a couple like that, up here for range control. Most likely, the light was added by the home unit, for some esoteric purpose. Who knows....

It is from Ft. Knox.
Still waiting on EUC...

"don't follow me because I'm in front, follow me because I have a yellow light"

*you sure that's not a navy truck lol

Mine had a "FLIR UNIT" sticking out off the roof..........Came from ICE.................

 

[topgun217]

Do you still have the flir?

 

[jeep-Jeep]

mine has a light ,
I call it blinky .
it sends out a beacon sound that the radios pick up .
drove a buddy crazy in a recent parade .
I believe it was a military police at least that was what I told the director of a movie it was in as a military cop harassing punk kids .

 

[dskchevy]

No "FLIR" just a hole in the roof when I got it.............
