    Why is this site so slow...???

    Seat swapping in M1009 question answered...

    ... by me... :razz: I wondered if a passenger seat (bottom) would work on the driver's side? It does, but you have to probe for the mounting nuts on the frame, punch a hole in the vinyl and bolt in the seat back. Hope this helps someone.

    ... tow dolly won, CUCV lost (too wide)... Just wanted to tell everyone that my M1009 CUCV was 3" too wide to fit between the fenders on my personal ex U-Haul tow dolly. It started to "fit" between the fenders and maybe would if I "forced it", but knew the dolly would not like it. Most...

    Thoughts on this eBay front u-joint?

    Hello, New guy here. :) I have an 86 M1009 with 56K miles and I believe the original front (middle and rear) u-joints. I read up on the opinions of hollow. greasable ones verses solid ones. I plan to change them all out eventually... What is your opinion of these for $10 each + shipping...
