I was wondering if anyone had an extra, perhaps broken, harness they didn't need. I need the vehicle side plug plus 6" to 12" of wire coming from it. I want to mod it to fit a regular trailer so I can haul it using the military connection on my M1009.
If anyone has one lying around, on the...
My truck was painted with Rapco Lusterless Navy Grey. What other types of flat or "lusterless" paint is out there and available for use? Primer absorbs water, so I want to use a real "top coat" paint.
Thanks.
I am driving to Aberdeen from the Laurel Maryland area. Does anyone want to get together and convoy up, or better yet, hitch up to the Yellow convoy coming up from the south? I will drive south a ways if there is a lot of interest.
Yes, No.......................IDK ????
Please suggest a...
I looked, but didn't find (doesn't mean it wasn't there) for info on this. I want to put a flat four plug connection on my M1009 so I can tow my little boat trailer.
Besides the flat four connector, is there anything else I need to do? Are the lighting circuits for the trailer plug 12 or 24V...
I am looking at new shocks for my 09. The ride seems a bit 'plush" and I think it is time for replacement. I have seen the shocks at LMC for $19 each, but I am suspect. Napa quoted me $55 each for Monroe Sense-a-tracks.
What would be a decent shock for her (daily driver, not off-road bomber)...
So, it's been raining here on and off for the past week. Sometimes pretty hard. I hopped in the 09 the other day and I found some water on the floor, on both side of the truck, up front. I know my heater core is leaking, slowly and I have planned a replacement.
I wiped the water up and...
So, since I can't afford any of the milspec comms gear right now, I'll have to do with a decent CB (perhaps a Cobra 29 for now). And, I don't want my new oh9 looking naked, so I am going to put a AS3916 antenna and base on her.
My question is, can I use this antenna and interface that with the...
Breaking into anything is easy these days. And I know everyone has a key to these trucks. I can't stop the actual break in, but I can prevent the perp from driving away with my truck.
I have an 1970 Mustang Convertible (for sale, if anyone is interested) and I have a remote controlled...
I was wondering if anyone has modified a cargo cover from, say, civi Blazer or Suburban, or a Ford Explorer type vehicle, a to fit in the rear cargo area of a 1009? I live in the Baltimore/DC area and would love to cover the back area to keep prying eyes out of there. Too many people want what...
I saw a Deuce for sale on Ebay the other day. I spoke with the owner and ha\e had gotten some MRAP seats from a guy in Delaware (he got them from DRMO) for $250 for the pair and mounted them in his Deuce.
Has anyone done different seats in their 1009? Anyone try and fit a set of MRAP seats to...
Having owned diesels for a while now, I know how cold blooded they can and how long it take for them to warm up.
Given that, has anyone added heating elements to thier seats? Hey, I'm no teenager anymore and I like heat in the winter...quick heat. My other vehicles have heated seats and in my...
Has anyone painted their 1009 anything other than the standard tan, green or camo paint design?
I was wanting to do something a bit different, perhaps a flat black or charcoal gray. Any thoughts?
I look this one over pretty good. Hardly any rust at all and it looked like it was well maintained. $2,900 was over my limit...........bummer. Someone got a nice truck. probably just needed a key to get going.

I am looking to purchase a 1009. I have found a candidate, but she is labeled as not running. Could just be a lack of an ignition key or something else.
I have never messed with an older diesel so my ignorant question would be: what should I look at, in order/priorty, to determine what is...
Nice site, glad I found it. I am looking to buy an M1009 and I would like to know if there is anything I should pay particular attention to when looking these beasts over? Some of the surplus trucks appear to be complete, but not running.
Any sage advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks !
