Got the M1009 loaded and chained down onto the goose neck trailer for the road trip to Haspin from Central Florida tomorrow :driver:

My '67 M35 with the raised/extended trap, I am 6' and can stand up straight in the bed under the ribs.

It will slide into a M1101 and a M1102 trailer, you'll just have to leave the tailgate down because it's a little longer then the trailer.

Thanks Dan, that's what I needed to know. Hope to see you there!

Nope, that's Stonepicker1. I'm coming straight to Haspin and was wondering about the best way there.

My temperature light would glow dim after driving the M1009 for awhile. I discovered the military had put a "gauge" sending unit in it instead of a "idiot" light sending unit. Put the right sending unit in it and now the light works fine. You never really know what's installed in them until you...

You might have some luck at a local auto parts store. Mine look like auto body plugs, like the ones in a car trunk.

My M1009 was not at Camp Shelby when I arrived either. Due to many events that happen before I arrived, it was one of two that a local wrecker company picked up for a later trip to Kentucky, they towed mine off by mistake. 6 1/2 hours later it finally returned, but that made arriving back in...

And to think a couple of years ago I didn't even know what driving Green was, and now I'm heading off to Haspin :grd:

Yes, I'll be pulling it up and back with a 205 shelter and a M1009 in it.

Some advice for the guy coming from Florida. GPS has me leaving I-75 N onto the I-275, W on I-74, then taking 52 thru Brookville, then N on 121 to Laurel. Looking at the map, would staying on I-74 W to the Batesville area, north on 229 thru Oldenburg to 52, then 121 to Laurel be a better...

Stonepicker1, I'll see you in Haspin. I hope to be leaving Monday or early Tuesday from Central Florida, but I'm traveling I-75 to get there. Have a safe trip.

Indy, I'm bringing some stuff up to you from the Florida guys. Just look for the bald guy having lots of fun.

I am very much round rofl cause I've been to two GA Rallies and I'm going back for thirds.

I had electrolysis corrosion in my M1009 cooling system, the heater core was leaking and the radiator was corroded so bad it had to be replaced. Do agod flush, run some cleaner, and after another good flush install new antifreeze. Welcome to the World of Green :mrgreen:

I thought you might use them because their easier to lift :popcorn:

The two M1009s we picked up in Camp Shelby didn't require an EUC either. Which is fine if your ready to roll on a recovery trip. I was planning on 3 to 4 weeks, or more, prep time for the trip. Well, that didn't happen, had to roll that week :driver:

If you packing wrenches and sockets, go with both SAE and metric. While working on mine, most bolts are metric, but I do find SAE bolts on my 85 M1009.

Very true, and a special for Fathers Day as well. Think I'll go with the in green. Thanks

Those are there to put the critters in that Stalker finds in the woods so we can play with them later.
