Looks lke I missed out on a super fun weekend! Next year will be a must. Nice video of Streches truck in action. Where's Kip's truck in action? or did he stuck and never seen again?
Might want to check your grounds, after a 400 mile trip something may have gotten loose. My m1009 did the same thing a few times. I sanded all the grounds and replaced all of the batt. cables and waalaa ! Not a problem since then.
I just calculated my gas mpg on the m1009, 22mpg!:beer: Oh what a feeling! Beat that Toycrapa! It was from home to the Findlay show and back and then some small running around (217 miles) and just filled her back up, took 7.667 gallons. I'm really happy now!
Had to correct my previous stated...
Mine did the same thing. I ended up going through all grounds & replacing all the batt. term. wires and it cleared up. As for the 1.21 gigawatts, you'll need the standard issue flux capasitor to achieve that. Far and few between on g/l. Although Kip may be to get half that much gig!
Sweet ride! Now I'm gonna have to gift my 1009 to my son when he turns 15 :| That just means I get to go shopping again and th wife will will really hate it with two 1009's in the driveway.

Dito here ! I went to napa, Fastenall, Lowes, and a body shop. They are called "rivnuts" or "nutcerts" ! I searched the forums and people on here have purchased them. Fastenall will order them, however 'I'm not inclined to purchase 1,000 of them.

Where does one purchase these elusive "jack nuts"? When I purchased my 1009, someone went and pyied 8 of them off so my holes are kinda big. I plan on hammering them back down so I can install two antenna mounts. Second question is, how do I install them once I find the jack nuts?
Thanks in...
This was my second vist to the Findlay show, but first as an SS Member and proud owner of a M/V. It was a real pleasure to meet everyone on here and put faces with names. I dragged a buddy along with me and my son and now he has O.D. fever after looking at a real nice M1028 on the way out...
Got back from the Findlay show and was able to get one of two whips purchased there on today!!!!! Thanks 319 for directing me to the right table, I bought the last two he had and he gave me a sweet deal for the two. (almost too good to be true) Findlay is always a great show.
I followed Warthog's advise and that did the trick for me! I know this may sound strange, but after I bypassed the noise suppressors and the wiper starting working somewhat properly, I went ahead and put a good coating of Rain-x on the windshield and that seemed to help a bit more as well by...

What are the hours? I live about 45 min. away but have to work til 3 every day, so the later the better for me, I may even drvie the 1009 if feasable. I too need a few minor items for cosmetic purposes.
