SS Crew-

Well, the day finally came and I picked up my M1009 this weekend, totally stoked. The body is pretty rough, but it's great mechanically. It has 61,779 miles on it, still has all the black out switches and connections in the cab. The guy I bought from said it needed the rear brakes bled after replacing a line, was able to do that on the way home for $10. I'm gonna replace the exhaust because I think there's a leak. He said there was a radiator leak and needed replaced, but as I ran it around to get it to leak, it appears it's the lower heater hose coming from the water pump. I saw fluid squirting out from there as I had it running, that should be an easy fix. Other than that, like I said the body is a bit rough, but it's a toy and a run around truck, so we'll fix problems as they come up. Anyway, wanted to say hello and glad to be part of the ranks.

Thanks all, I appreciate it. Regarding the paint job, that's how I got it and it's actually paint, not a wrap, you believe that? It's way cool how detailed it is. I have a few questions though:

1. Is there a stock spare tire mount for the rear?
2. Anyone know a good place to get the tow shackles? I have the 2 front ones, but need the rears.

Any and all help is appreciated.

There are always shackles on E-Bay but be careful and dont pay too much or an SS member with extra may sell a couple. Looks nice-Good Luck with it and enjoy:beer:
