Pulling my neighbors 4WD Isuzu Trooper out of a ditch (That the Kubota 4WD tractor couldn't).
Starting easy at 3 degrees when the 6.5 wouldn't.
Even though it is camo, other drivers actually notice it, and move away.
Drowns out cell phones at traffic lights.
Doesn't need to be fast to be "cool".
Goes where other 4WD and AWD's fear to tread....because it can.
Not over-powered, so traction control is superior.
Doesn't have that darned 6.5 PMD that often croaks.
Injector pump is half the price of a 6.5.
Turbo never burns out.
You can see the engine.
You can work on the engine.
No electric windows to cr@p out.
You can reach all glow plugs easily.
Most parts are cheap and available.
Super support from this forum, which beats any Haynes manual!

My two year old lets me take him for rides in his truck.
$35 for two years registration.
I can buy another one to match for about $2000
Camo sticks out in a large parking lot.

well since my M1010 is still wearing her S.W.A.T. black paint, its nice that cops dont look twice because it looks like a police vehicle.
and criminals avoid me, because it looks like a police vehicle... or maybe they avoid me because of the sticker on the drivers wing-window that says "Honk if you've never seen an UZI shot out of a car window."...

Yall crack me u p Olag everything u own is a chick magnet lol But the Coolest Thing i love about owning my M1008 is how Little Kids point at it when i pull up in a parking lot (makes me smile everytime )My nieces Love the thing My truck being red probably has alot to do with that but still the parents ask about it some are prior Military some arent but it still ajoy God Bless america and all the american steel still running I love my CUCVps I love it when i pull up at a light with mine and the chicks are in a honda lookin up at me priceless justa smilin 
100percent chickmagnets big trucks no matter the color REd and od Green tend to be the biggest magnets thoughFunny you say that. When I brought my first deuce home, with side exhaust, a convertible (summertime) pulled up on my right. Yes I was in the left lane at a top light. Non turbos smoke like a train anyway, I filled his convertible with dino smoke. He wasn't happy. He was driving a Sebring convertible I believe.13. The ability to pull along side the sweater wearing yuppie in their convertable and pull just forward enough so your exhaust spews into their cab!

I get asked all the time if it's a diesel. I respond "no, I think there's something wrong with the engine it just started making that noise"
My 3yo and my 6yo just love the thing and when asked, do you want me to drive you to school in it, yes couldn't come quicker.

The M1009 and my dogs are best friends, I have two labs and they love going for rides! The 1 year old will sit in the passenger seat like he is a person, hilarious. The 5 month old still gets a little car sick but the pet friendly interior makes clean up ok. 
My wife actually likes driving my M1009. Before we were married I drove it to her place the first time and she (my wife now) and her sisters all wanted to go for a ride. "This truck is bad @$$" was the consensus. Ladies just like a tough looking truck, even if its 25 years old.
I have lost count on this one but everyday I get stares, like full on turn your head to watch the M1009 drive by kind of looks. Its always a dude, with this "I wish I had that TONKA truck mommy..." my wife even notices this and points it out constantly.
HAHA the drive thru!!!! Usually Im nice and turn off the engine... usually

because of my MV ownership, I got to give my 86 year old WWII veteran father his first veteran days parade last year - best gift I've ever given my dad
PLUS the more expensive the vehicle, the more engaged in their phone conversation, the more I enjoy 'holding my spot' in traffic and NOT let them in. THEY get really pissed. I'm just smiling on the inside..
One lady in a seven series bmw, talkin on her phone with the window rolled down... She honks trying to 'squeeze' in... I had my deuce at that time. So as I said, SHE honks at me like I can GO anywhere. When I HONKED BACK AT HER, she dropped her cell phone.
I was laughing my @rse off... as I rolled on past her trying to find her cell pone on the floor.

I love irritating my daughter with it. She seems to think it's not cool. So, whenever we're going somewhere we take the oh9. That's when you find out how bad she want's to go. Also ticks her off when her Grand Am is stuck in the snow in the yard and I hand her the shovel out of the oh9 and then I rumble past her. Yeah, I'm a jerk. The boys like it, they want another one.
The wife said one night let's go out and take the on9! I about fell over. Then she want's to go play in the snow. She's been converted, it's cool.
Going though the Wal-Mart parking lot rumbling along and having people do a double take at it. One guy asked my wife if that was ours. Yes. He hadn't seen one in years since he got out of the service. Wanted to know all the details about it, where did you get it etc. That was cool!!

I go through the drive up at our local Burger King with my 1031. I have to turn the engine off to order and they always seem to thank me for doing so. I can just imagine how loud it is on the receiving end of the intercom system...

I just moved to a crime ridden neighborhood in downtown Denver from rural NC. I probably saved a couple bucks on a protected by Glock sticker for my front door. Instead I leave the M1008 out front, I feel like that says it all. You'd have to be on a lot of crack to break into a guys house that has a Camo truck with a teamsters sticker on it.
