    Need Pics and ideas for seats w/ armrest in M1009.

    I JUST finished the install of new seats in my 1009. They are out of an 09' Z71 tahoe. They look / work awesome. It took me a while to make the custom brackets, but it wasn't that bad. I will be taking the seats back out next week, in order to paint the interior, I will take pics of all the...

    Finally home!

    Its a Can-Bak soft top. They went out of business. It's the second soft top i have owned, and i love love love it. I do not notice any sound difference with it over the hard top, but probably because the trucks are so loud, something like that doesn't make a difference:-) I can take it off and...

    Finally home!

    Oh also, I will not be able to make the rally:-( My brother's 18th birthday / graduation party was postponed until this coming weekend, so that I could attend. It was supposed to be last weekend, just a week or so after my original arrival date, but when we got delayed, the family pushed it...

    Finally home!

    Well yesterday was a real headache! I went to pick up my new wheels and tires from 4wheelparts in Tacoma, Wa. I used their online form to purchase these wheels, the one where you put in the type of vehicle you have, and then it selects the type of wheels and tires that will work on your truck...

    Question about painting and lining the interior

    Would it be okay to just put bed liner directly over the carc paint that is on the interior of my M1009? Or do i need to strip it down to bare metal first? Also, I am going to be painting my truck soon, i have the all tan carc paint scheme on there. I want to paint the truck all white. Will i...

    700r4 swap

    So I ended up busting my left knee pretty bad, probably wont be able to depress a clutch ever again:-( So I traded my buddy back home the hydro 465 I had been planning to put into my M1009, for his built 700r4. I have been looking around quite a bit, and for some reason cannot seem to find an...

    Am I on the right track with this engine build?

    Would it be possible for you to check it and see if it is the 6.5 block? If so I would like to buy that off of you.

    Am I on the right track with this engine build?

    Lol, right on. My M1009 also is tan, and has the same markings on the door. Until I lifted it, and put the soft top on, they didn't even check me at the roy gate... lol... The markings are faded out, but no one ever said anything to me about them. Anywho, time to go pack the connex...

    Am I on the right track with this engine build?

    Am I on the right track with this engine build?

    Actually I would be very interested in the 6.5, what does "detunned" mean? I had been highly considering purchasing a 6.5 off of GL, building it, putting my manual trans on it, and just swapping it out with the current setup in my 1009. Also, thanks for clearing up the multi fuel question...
