Looks like good progress. Congrats and welcome.

Here is my thread about racks. Lots of pics at the end. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?82322-Finally-got-the-Roof-Rack-M1009 I wanted the rack mostly for the spare and a couple of jerry cans. It is just on the shell, so the whole thing can come off if i want to go topless.

I also purchased my m1009 as a hunting vehicle. I guess one question would be, what kind of hunting did you intend? I chose the 09 because I wanted to secure my dogs in the vehicle without a dog box, and have the ability to sleep in the blazer on an overnight trip. One mod that I was...

Jake and Cletus hunting. Jake is the orange and white one.

Congrats on your purchase. Lots of locals with MVs around here. Here is a link to an upcoming rally. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?120109-2014-SoCal-Spring-Rally

Bummer. I'm at a convention that weekend. Ill make it to one of these, someday.

I went with Limo dark in the back and medium on the driver and pax doors. I haven't had any problem with viz even at night. Nice and dark on the outside but the windows are big enough to offer a fishbowl view from the inside. I wanted to go as dark as possible to keep the heat down. I usually...

Congrats on a great truck. I have been running mine without an a/c, and know that we are hotter here in the IE than your are in SD. Try driving without it for the next year. I bet you won't even miss it. It's supposed to be 107F here tomorrow, but the wing windows and floor vents work great...

Here is my experience with the rack issue. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?82322-Finally-got-the-Roof-Rack-M1009 Hope it helps.

Here is mine. Toyota FJ OD GREEN. Not exactly what everyone else has, mine has a little more gloss to it.

I also did the AL's liner about a year and a half ago. I love it. Cleans out with a hose and has really held up to punishment well. Here is my write up. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?71980-Al-s-Liner-M1009-interior

Congrats looks great. Did you lock out the surge brake? Did you win that Item you were looking at?

Replaced speedo cable with a new one from Napa auto parts. PN 615-1615. Also replaced the spedo head with a used one from another member. Its clocking about 5mph faster than the GPS now, but way better than the ping pong match that i was watching before. It actually bounced so much that it...

I ended up finding the 100 inch long cable at the local Napa auto parts. PN 615-1615. Fits great and only cost $30. Speedo is now working.

Congratulations. I read your thread in the New members area a wile back and was really hoping you would go with something like this... But as long as you like it. That's what counts. Now its time for accessories, right? Cheers.

HI stationjj I just got the other part number (88959480) that you recommend in this thread... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?99005-Replacement-Speedometer That cable is too short. So have you found that GM part #25932661 fits correctly? I will plan to exchange my part, but...

+1 Be patient. They are out there, for less or the same $ and in better shape.

I got my 1009 from Mark, and looked at a few that he was offering. I passed on the first couple and waited almost 9 months for one to come in that I really liked. He only got the 1009s periodically (as Barstow let them go). Mine was almost rust free and he had a really nice one next to mine...

Having an excuse to learn how to weld and paint and all the other crap that comes along with old surplus is most of the fun. My m1009 is really just an excuse to buy all the tools (toys) that i need to keep it running. "That spare tire really needs to be on the top, oh well guess i need a...
