****, that seems really cheap! Stalwart, what do you know about this thing that we don't?

Yup. I can vouch for that. Running the vent lines on long horizontal stretches, or allowing the vent lines to dip (where sludge can pool) will also cause problems. I'm going to plumb fittings into my fording kit that will allow me to blow-out the vent lines.

Youch. Nevermind.

Trying to figure out what I want to do about alternators too. Wolverine's setup looks like the cleanest option. Also kinda like the idea of the dual-output (HMMWV?) alternator. Been told that's a bolt-in. Love the DIY-tech though. If you have any measurements you want to share, I can create some...

No idea. Mine are still brand new.

Me too. I'm going to build a spare-tire mount on the back left-side of the M109 box. Not planning on actually carrying a tire there very often, but want to have the option. It's going to be mounted to the 2" x .120-wall tubular roofrack with tubes that extend downwards to the bottom of the box...

What are you planning on mounting where the spare tire is/was? Might be easier to figure out somewhere else to put that? I'm not running a spare on Mah Deuce, and I'm on singles. Carrying a spare on the trailer, and making brackets so I can chain-up an axle.

Not a great idea if you ever plan on taking this truck offroad. Only takes a minute sitting under the back of the truck with a tape measure to figure out why. Ground clearance and departure angle = no bueno.

Thanks for your concern guys, but really, it's fine. going to lose the nail, but that's no biggie. Good call on the epsom salts though.

Yup. Got a set mounted on Mah Deuce and they look pretty sweet, but I've only driven a few miles on them. They're rated to carry more than double the stock tires, so I'm running singles on modified stock wheels.

Looks worse than it is. Don't think I broke anything.

That's a great little welder. You're going to love it. Be careful with those bottles though. Just dropped one on my foot a couple days ago.

Check out the Firestone T831's.

Dunno about the M105, but the deck height on my M103A3 with 11.00's is almost exactly 36".

Congratulations!

Sweet! Don't know how I missed this thread. There IS an old pullout ramp from a rental truck in between the framerails on your old M109 (linky).

That's what I'd do.

Well, Better all depends on what you want to do with it. I built a steel frame to support a large deck and then set a 12ft uhaul box on top of it, so it's an enclosed trailer now. More info and pics here. Flexible on the price. Got a new, smaller trailer, so this one needs to go.

Where did you find those pictures of the car painted into the background? That's exactly how I was planning on painting Mah Deuce. Different setting obviously, but I love the idea of painting a vehicle perfectly into one particular setting.

If you want one, I've got an M353 for sale. Located in Morgan Hill, CA. Send me PM.
