Yes they were called, he passed the FST but I don't know how, I smelled Alcohol on his breath pretty strong.

Right, his mom and step-dad were not happy about it. He has no job right now either so I did something I normally do not do I talked to him about joining the military. He is 25 years old and going nowhere (if you know the type). And yes, I considered this also, better to have hit a empty...

Yes, he did at least that is good, and he was not hurt..........really though the kid picked the worst thing on the entire street to run into lol Did you notice the deflated airbag?

Too Funnyrofl but true

Yeah..... wow though really the kid plowed into a steel truck that has been lifted with 36" tires the only thing worse he driven into would have been a concrete wall ya know?

Well if it is the Police missed it when they looked around. He admitted drinking but was not charged, just cited with driving to fast and also the bald tires.

Well as I was sleeping I was awoke by my doorbell with a neighbor telling me that somebody hit my truck. I was parked along the curb in front of my house. It turns out that a car came down the hill, could not stop and slid into my truck, it pushed the CUCV enough for it to get pushed into my...

I have a antenna base you can have if you to meet me in B'ham. That is my home town. Act quick though as I am due to move to Washington soon. Dale

craigslist Is that one yours? If so you may want to list it in Columbus/FT Benning also I get offers almost daily to buy mine, I think I have the only M1009 on base as a POV. Dale

SDF Troop< You have me at a loss on that one, may want to try and contact the unit it once belonged to. OP 1, :? hmmm, anyway you have any pics yet?

Only 4-6 hours away, count yourself lucky and go ahead and buy. I bought one from a private vender and it runs well enough, sure there are some problems that come up but hey what do you expect from a military vehicle that is 20+ years old? I can tell from the sand CARC paint that shows through...

Got it, I will keep my eyes open for you. I have not had time to look yet but there may be a salvage yard near FT Benning that has some of these. I was planning on looking around next week also.

Nope, I stood in shop and watched the whole process, he did show me those side rails and suggested I look into that next, but what he called regulators where two "plastic wheels" that are hidden from site but are on the reverse side of a 6-8" metal track the the support arm connects to, If it...

Ok enlighten a newbie, how exactly does that work? *never mind I found the threads.....wow I guess I'll be getting 'duce next

Hopefully this may help. I recently had a regulator break followed by the window breaking one cold morning due to the direct metal on glass contact on the right arm. Anyway $150 dollars later I had a new window and also both regulators replaced from a local auto glass shop. They only charged...

Whatever works in a bind, but FYI any auto glass shop should carry the regulators, mine were $8 for the pair. I would learn from my mistake though metal on glass is bad juju. Dale

Hey SS, I am a recent member also, currently I at FT Benning, GA but I will be moving up to FT Lewis, WA early February. I hope my M1009 will be up to the long drive, before all the comments start she will be checked out completely before the trip. CW2 Dale Campbell

Here is a couple for all of you, Merry Christmas SS! Dale

Oh I also went to drive her in to FT Benning this morning and the GEN 2 belt snapped, it was a easy enough fix but it put me late getting into work though. Happy Holidays, Dale

update Turns out what made the window explode was the right side window regulator (a small plastic wheel) was broken so there was direct glass to metal contact, this along with the cold temp caused the mishap. I still have a bit of glass to clean up but most is cleaned up. It cost $150 to have...
