    1985 M1009 still rolling

    After what seems like forever, I managed to get a little done. I hope you are all doing well! I ran a strip light in the back, found a new storage box that fits great, and the lid opens up inside. Put in a "Jerry Can" tool box from Rampage, if you've not seen them, the Jerry Can is actually a...

    TH400 Transmission Shifts points

    Have you verified you have good vacuum at the pump? I replaced my modulator hoping that was the problem but it turned out to be the vacuum pump. Prior to installing the new pump my transmission was shifting at about 48mph. Now, it's shifting around 35 to 38 mph. Scooter. Sent from my LGMP260...

    1985 M1009 still rolling

    Oh! I picked mine up in AZ for $5500 from a gentlemen who's health was getting the better of him. Keep looking, you'll find one! I'd been wanting one for years but my wife never understood. After the accident, I needed a vehicle to get back to work until the insurance mess was sorted out. I...

    15 amps max at 24v with 12 gauge wire and a 15 amp fuse. Tested load at 13 amps no issues so far. The outlet sir? I picked up at Home Depot. Scooter... Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

    So, I could not stand the inline fuses and had to install fuse blocks to eliminate some ugly. Labels are going on while waiting for the Amazon delivery. The 2 LED lights bars are coming in today. One is going in the back and the other I may attach leads and magnets for portable use under the...

    I finally got the 24v ran for the RAK15 heater and my Gosun fridge/cooler. I had to get the plug for the RAK15. I selected the odd plug style to ensure no 110v items are plugged in to the 24v outlet by mistake. I added a 20 amp 12v power point for any potentially high power drawing 12v items I...

    Hi all, Happy New year! I made a little progress since the last update but the Holidays are family time. I'll take that when I can get it too! I was lucky enough to grab the Flu while off also. That slowed me down a bit. I managed to get my Blue Seas 6 independent circuit fuse block installed...

    I managed to get the 12V power ran from the front to the back buss bar. 24v on the left and 12v on the right. Although I've only gotten the dome light working at this point, the hard part is now over. I can move on to accessories! I'm debating on what to add; so far, inverter of course, air...

    1985 M1009 still rolling

    I spent an insane amount of time running a wire for a dome light. That was far more of a challenge than expected! I managed to get it mounted but I still need to run power from the buss bar on the passenger side to the center console and distribute through a 6 switch panel I've yet to install. A...

    1985 M1009 still rolling

    Hi all, I purchased my M1009 around June 2019 as a back up vehicle after a bad car accident. I'm getting healed up and I'm just getting started. So far, I've replaced the front end bushings, wheel bearings, brakes, seals, new tires and additional standard items (fluids, belts) from an old...
