New from Michigan

[dunedigger]

Just picked up a M1009 last weekend. Great site to learn from. Lots of good info here. I had a couple hour drive to bring it home and one of the alternators went out along the way, hardly had any lights when I pulled in the driveway, so I'm waiting for the parts should be here tomorrow, can't wait to get back on the road.

Welcome to SS! Owosso? A couple of my co-workers live there...

M1009, me thinks I have parts for them!

 

[citizensoldier]

Welcome! I am Familiar with Owosso.. Grew up in the Flushing, and Flint area.. Glad to have another in the Michigan clan. I picked up a M1009 this summer so my wife had something to drive. Well its now my daily driver and I love it. I always loved the K5's I had in the past and never thought I would own another one..WRONG! Great group of guys here..

Welcome, I'm over on the west coast right at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. It's always good to have another Michigan person on SS.

No kidding, I practically live at silver lake in the summer, I must have seen your stuff at apple fest?

 

[67Beast]

Yep, three of the trucks at Applefest were mine. You've probably seen my trucks sitting out at my shop (David Allen Racing) quite often as I drive them to work all the time.

dunedigger,
By chance were you in Troy/Clawson this past Monday? Saw an M1009 that I've never seen before.

Welcome to SS dunedigger, I used to live in Hillsdale(26 years ago) need anything just ask.

 

[dunedigger]

This site is so helpful it's hard to believe. Great bunch of guys and helpful tips.

 

[Armada]

Welcome dunedigger. I'm originally from Owosso and I usually go out there on the weekends to see my folks. My brother, Pappa-G on this site, lives out there too. Another brother, not a member here, drives his M1009 everyday to work in Owosso. So if you see any mv's running around the Owosso area chances are they are one of us. We've been known to go to Silver Lake dunes a couple times a year also. If I see your truck going down the road I'll flag you down.

So, the next trail ride we're going to have a CUCV special trip? Sounds like we could have a couple "hundred truck" convoys in the state of MI, one of deuces and the other of CUCV blazers!
