Hi All, on my 1009 the rear window will not crank the last 1 inch or so. Awhile ago I purchase in the box a brand new interior mechanism from a guy. He said it would work. The problem is the part on the interior mechanism that connects to the exterior crank is different. I purchased a new crank...
I have a new rear window interior mechanism. It seems to maybe not be standard? I've attach a photo of what mine looks like.
I've bought the crank handle from LMC but it doesn't have the correct interior part to crank the rear window mechanism properly.

Hey All, I'm looking into putting a winch on my M1009. I was wondering what you all thought about the Harbor Freight BADLAND APEX™ 12,000 lb. winch ?
I know nothing about winches but this one looks good to me?
Thanks for your opinions.
