Hello from New Zealand with questions about my M1009
First of all, hello from NZ, Middle of Middle Earth, Upside down land other wise known as New Zealand. I have a new M1009, maybe the only one in NZ, although I have seen at least one M1008 around my ways.
Enjoying the site and have been preening through it for the last few months. Many, including my wife cant get figure why I would want such a unique truck, well that's easy
I am ex military, I always had a thing for 4x4's, I like to hunt/shoot, I like to camp, I like to offroad, always wanted a V8 Diesel, loud trucks are better trucks. full sized US square bodied truck rock.
Basically it's fairly standard with no rust, except the 6.5 turbo, 6 inch rough country lift and 36 inch Super Swampers.
I'm planning on keeping the original flavour and maybe touching up the camo paint, fitting a set of draws in the back, roof rack and maybe a tyre carrier/ Jerry can holder on the rear
I do have a couple of questions if that is ok? Not sure how to resize the image??
On the drivers side brush gard there is a box welded on that I have not seen on any other M1009. I thought maybe it a aerial/antenna holder however it has "Caution High Voltage" written on it so I'm thinking it's some sort of inverter bracket. It does have a 110v (we are 240V in NZ) civilian plug in the grill, which kind of makes sense I guess. Anyway any assistance would be great.
