I got my M1009 addiction off of ebay for about $1900 and in the last 18 months+ I have been replacing/repairing mostly internal components. Some repairs have been my own fault and others have been due to age of the vehicle (1986).
Rear end including drums (drove the wheel bearings/diff out of the original)
Glow Plugs
Glow Plug "relay"
Starter (twice) 2nd was a warranty replacement
Flywheel (first one didnt get along with the new starter)
Two Batteries
One tire (odd but the other three were about 80%)
Fan switch for climate control (haha)
New pads for front brakes
all gear box fluids, oil and other liquids
Windshield crack filled and wiper blades
Air filter
Eventually I hope to restore and or add some custom items to my m1009 but the funds are typically going to keeping it as a daily driver. Other budgets may allow for more activity but as already posted above it is a crap shoot on what condition the CUCV will be in.
Overall I am hooked on the truck and this site.
Happy Hunting!
