[SGTStewart]

Here are some pictures of my new (to me) M109. 350 miles since picking her up (half of those are umm test drives )

That is a very clean looking shop van. Shop vans w/w are cool. Is the lighting military?

 

[SGTStewart]

I first had plans to make it into a hunting RV. But I have not made up my mind yet.

Nope, that M109A3 is no good. I think you better send it to me so that I can check it out in person to make sure it is up to scratch!



Good looking truck. Everyone knows that all the cool guys drive M109's

Good looking shop van. Has the winch and heater so all you need are a hard top and one of the Canadian roof racks.

What lighting are you asking about?

after seing those first hand this weekend that will be my next mv.. makes a great camper/shop.

What lighting are you asking about?

I think he is talking about the lights on the rear of the truck just under the box on both sides. There are marker lights and white lights installed on brackets back there.

 

[SGTStewart]

That is what I thought. The white lights came on the truck from Ft. McCoy, WI.
The problem is that I haven't figured out how the lights work. I haven't followed the wires yet and I don't even know if that will help.

Nice looking truck, those northern 109's sure are nice, I just got one in April with 8300 miles are it. Have you made any plans for the back? You are gona love the winch, you just never know when it will save your butt.

Very nice M109A3. My wife has claimed ownership of our 109, it's her fav and never to be sold. I have to agree, 109's are very cool.

Seems like the 109's w/w are very rare???

 

[SGTStewart]

There were 2 M109 W/W up for auction when I won this one at Ft. McCoy. The other one was a tan hard top model. The picture inside the box showed what looked like 6-8 of the work benches. Mine was bare exept for the ladder, two chock blocks and a never been used A/C power cable.

I wouldn't say rare, more like very uncommon. They are out there, but not as many as the M35A2 w/w.

lol, just as I am typing this, the GL ad on the left side of the screen came up with an M109A3 w/w. What a coincidence. lol

It actually had work benches in the back? Now that is rare. I think I have only seen 1-2 M109's in private hands that had the benches still in the back.

I found the ad for the tan one. I am not sure how to do the link ( or if it will work). If not here is the description and 3 pictures.
