My early present. Guess I will find out how reliable the 1009 is for everyday use, huh? LOL, ouch.

Well, after 2 and a half months, finally got all the paperwork in order, titled, and plated. I can drive without worry now. I plan on lettering the tailgate in 1 or 2 inch letters, Steelsoldiers.com on it. got the idea on another thread.

Got my sf-97, in about two weeks. Finally, my green limo can be legal.

Finally got scheduled for pickup of 3 M1009's for another SS member. Unknown running condition, as was mine. Since I picked mine up, I saw first hand all that I "should have had on hand". This time, got a truck and car trailer, tow bar, 3 drivers, extra batteries, spare, fuel, oil, home made...

I am picking 3 Blazers up for a SS member Friday. Drexel is 45 miles north of me. I will consider picking up mv's like the M1008, thru M1031's and hauling/driving them to my rural home and looking them over for buyers that live far away. Looking to buy a deuce soon, planning on retiring from my...

Last couple days, I started a couple threads, but they've disappeared. Did I violate a rule, or just mess up?

Joe from GL said mine was the first that wouldnt start. Figures...But it was just one bad battery. Had a shorted cell or something. Wouldnt jump, but replaced it, and it started first spin. Showed 26k, but the brake pedal is worn, so I suspect 126k. Still, it runs, and drives fine. So far...

Bought my first M1009 a while back from Drexel. Took forever to get the EUC accepted, kept getting kicked out for silly crap, and different things each time. Finally was sent to Battle creek for approval on July 10. Still waiting, but its tough. Anxious to get the old girl home. Nearly lived in...
