M1009, what else to look for

[StarkIndustries7]

AAA is going to flatbed it to my house; they just don't know it yet.

Rofl! Can't wait for pics.

Well, I went and picked it up yesterday. Triple A plus is your friend!

Congrats!, you going to leave the color or camo it?

 

[jaymcb]

I don't LIKE the color. I'd like it to go back to camo, but I want to get the mechanical particulars worked out first.

The issue is, with the 1009, you can be a quasi-mv, but be in stealth mode. If you go back to camo......

I get looks from my neighbors and people already.

It's got an awful driveline vibration from the back...that is the FIRST order of business.

I like the looks I get and screw the ahole on one side of me anyway.Dirtbag and a half. Playing the disability game while he can go trapsing around the woods hunting, chopping wood, riding his ATV ect....

I just took the deuce into town, dropped off my spare that needs the oring replaced, ran into a real old guy wearing a woodland camo coat. He walked up to me outside the deuce and started telling me about his service during the 50's, what vehicles they convoyed with ect, asked questions about mine. Very cool talking to old soldiers.

Stealth mode

Take a VERY close look at the frame directly next to the steering gear box and look for cracks around the bolt holes. Check each one with a flashlight.

would that cause a vibration from the back????

Could be something as simple as an unbalanced wheel/ tire. Never overlook the simple first. Then I would move on to universal joint.

 

[jaymcb]

it's almost certainly not a wheel, but I will look there first, then u-joint....thanks!

it's now parked next to it's larger brother
