Hello all,
Well I have a M1009 and a M211. The M211 was on the road the last 3 days,
back and forth from the mechanic. nothing serious, just welding exaust,
shooting the wind, and having fun. I got a lot of looks driving that, and
its not even green yet, besides the bed. Still has a long ways to go, but it
was great to get it out in the nice weather. Thanks to everyone that has
given me help on that project, its finally gettting there! The M1009 has
gotten a lot of looks. No one tailgates me, no one pulls out in front of me.
I have a lightbar on the top, and a lot of antennas, so Im sure that helps
;). Its fun to watch people when they think its a cop. Just today me and my
dad were going to this house to fix a propane heater. Showed up, and there
were 4+ guys, 1/2 of them looked underage, drinking on the deck. A nervous
young lady came out, and when we said we were there to fix the heater, she
very quickly said the heater was fine, and seemed to try and get rid of us.
Was rather interesting. :) About that M35A2, It looks like a good truck, but
I would be a bit concerned about how the front tires were different sizes. I
would think if used a lot, it would put a lot of wear on parts. It doesnt
look like it sits wierd, maybe just the snow. Good luck!
Caleb
