Pinky, my M1009, is down for the count
I DID have my headlights on in the daytime, always do! -
Pinky, my M1009, is down for the count
He made a heath related claim on his auto insurance the next day, I guess he woke up the next morning bruised and hurting. -
Pinky, my M1009, is down for the count
I had a bit of a hiccup today when I went to get the rental (four door F-150) and his insurance company said they would not pay for a full size pickup, small truck only! I got on the horn with them and discovered that they thought I was driving an El Camino! When I explained that I was driving a... -
Pinky, my M1009, is down for the count
The only other vehicle I ever had totaled was a 1995 F-150 and the "buy back" price was $1200 and I could not afford to buy another vehicle without that $1200 so I let them keep it. When the insurance company pays off a total they are buying it from you and you have to turn the title over to... -
Pinky, my M1009, is down for the count
The front axle is pushed over at least 6 inches and the frame is reportedly touching the block. I have not been mobile enough to do my own postmortem yet. -
Pinky, my M1009, is down for the count
Yes, he got a ticket for running a red light. -
Pinky, my M1009, is down for the count
Nope, driving her home was NOT an option! I WILL be buying it back from the insurance company unless that buy back price makes the difference between me replacing it and not. In that case I will pass the hat and "we" local CUCV owners will own it collectively. For parts only, I know she will... -
Pinky, my M1009, is down for the count
He said "they told me my light was green", I did not ask who "they" were. Both his airbags deployed and he said that hurt but he did not appear injured in any way and refused treatment. -
Pinky, my M1009, is down for the count
The first thing I need to figure out is what I am replacing her with, those parts will likely go on the next one. -
Pinky, my M1009, is down for the count
Yep, stronger trucks than I thought, I shudder to think how that would have played out in something smaller -

She MAY have been the best one from that OKC/Illinois lot... Never any real trouble in almost 4 years of daily driving -

Yep, the only vehicular decision I have made in this mess so far is that she will be our newest parts truck! -
Pinky, my M1009, is down for the count
OR: My 'new" M1009 parts truck! A Dodge Ram decided to mix it up with my M1009 last night, we BOTH lost but the Dodge came away with fewer salvageable parts. He ran a red light and turned left into me at about 40 mph. Yes, that is the bumper wrapped around the frame rail, and yes that is the... -

I was traveling southbound in the left lane (of two) with a green light at about 40 mph, next to a stopped lane of left turners with a red light, Dodge was traveling northbound in the same fashion and made an unprotected left right into me. One northbound left turn lane (of two) was being coned... -

I tried to take my M1009 home from the WallyWorld last night and was not successful. R.I.P. Pinky... -

I put a military bunk in my M101A2 for an over nighter, was very comfy... -
M416 & M101 tire retrofit
I have put hundreds of highway miles on my NDT equipped M416 with no issues. Radials would be cheaper if you were buying new tires but there is no reason to replace the NDTs if they are still serviceable. -
Show us your Military Trailers
I agree with your passenger, BIG thumbs up on your new pickup bed! -

CUCV turn signal stumper
Yours was not doing the same thing, just the same side. Your bulb was flickering on and off randomly, mine comes on at max intensity and stays on as long as the headlights are on.
