    M1009 Decals

    Thanks for the info, I'm gonna get poly bushes as I'll be keeping it for a while, too much money has been spent on it to ever sell it. I'll ask my buddy about the axles, you never know he might actually have one, he's got some weird and obscure parts hiding in the back of his store room. The...

    M1009 Decals

    Nope, never going back to the 33's, too much hassle, too big, too expensive at £110 each, don't want to be clocked by a speed camera, plus I want an M1009 not a military monster truck. I'll keep the standard sizes now, as I can get them for £65 each cash. Also mom finds it easier climbing in and...

    M1009 Decals

    The tires that were on it when I bought it were 33x12.50 R15 BF Goodrich mud terrains, boy did they ring at speed, but I had the 31x10.50R15 all terrains put back on. The mud terrains threw the speedo out by a country mile, I had to have a buddy follow me in his car, he called out the speeds on...

    Antenna bracket question

    Hi ONTOS66... Thanks very much for the info, like I said I'm a noob to the site, I'll have a good look at all the manuals. I searched online for as many TM's as I could as I didn't have any support or tech back up for years, until I found the SS site. Mick.

    M1009 Decals

    I bought it through a military vehicle dealer, where they got it from I'm not sure. I remember going to look at some M1009's years ago, the place I went had a shipping container delivered while I was there with 2 Blazers inside, I helped pull them out, I looked round one, with deposit in my...
