    Saudi Arabia for parts?

    I was watching some documentary on the invasion of Kuwait and it looked like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia had a large number of these vehicles. Have any of you thought about going to one of these countries and buying rare spares like transfer cases and wheels?

    New M1009 owner in Alaska...

    Could it be the black out lights? I have read several threads on here about people forgetting to turn them off or the switch has fused and they draw a current whether they are on or off. Since they are not very bright when old most people don't even realize they are on. The fuze box idea...

    Any of you guys? About 8:30 am this morning out side of San Marcos a Deuce was heeding North IH35 and the bed was full of spare rims and tires. I was heeding south so I could not see if it had any marking. Whoever it was had probably 10-20 rims with spare tires.
