I need to address vibration in my M109 camper too. I'm going to have a computer desk / workstation / office in there, and we've built a cabinet to hold the computer. I was just planning on wrapping the corners/edges of the computer with some type of insulating mat (sort of like how you see...

My thought was that maybe the easiest and most effective hood lock would be door locks. It would be super-easy to rig-up a remote cable to somewhere inside the cab. I think that's the route I'm going to explore. Not real high on the priority list though...

You guys are making it sound like he's overly paranoid, but I'm interested in figuring out how to lock my hood and every other part of mah deuce up too. I'm boing to be traveling in my M109 and leaving it unattended for long periods of time. Who knows where. My question is, what's a hood lock or...

Do you think that companies are able to LOWER their costs to produce products in this economy? Take a look at OEM's website. A lot of their products are actually under-priced, compared to the competition (but there isn't any, so you'll have to look at comparable products for other axles, like...

I just towed my M353 trailer back from Ft. Lewis with a Chevy Astrovan. Haha. The trailer tongue was almost touching the ground, but it pulled it just fine.

The only problem I could see would be if one wheel/tire wasn't spinning and the other wheel/tire had to spin twice as fast. I can see how that would be kind of hard on the spider gears, but I'm not sure why one wheel/tire wouldn't be spinning. Seems to me like they would both just freewheel...

Hmmm, I don't see how. The axle would still be located by the three-link and panhard bar, so how would the ale move from side-to-side?

I was not disagreeing with anyone. I was asking for a more thorough explanation of exactly what the problem/s might be because I honestly don't understand.

Check out Powertank's Monster Valves. They're the fastest way to air-up/down that I know of. We use them on our Tacoma and they're kick-ass.

There are some BEAT looking A3's in Texas right now. Anybody checked 'em out? I just bid on one.

Ah, gotcha. And these are 11" wide rims?

Under $10,000, huh? I might just have to keep an eye out for one of those on the west-coast.

Just out of curiosity, what are A3 trucks coming out of GL selling for? Just a general ballpark. More or less than $10,000?

Need? Probably not, but I'd rather have a bracket there than have to loop it around the axle. That much weight supported by a chain would maul the axlehousing if I was driving on rough terrain. That lower bracket that I designed would bolt under the lower link mount, but I might redesign that...

Man, I think that's the hot setup! GREAT looking wheels. Sending you a PM.

Did you say ONE AND ONE HALF INCH THICK center-sections!?!

Man, those A3's make me want to transplant my M109 box instead of fixing-up my truck...

Haha. Thanks, I knew that you and I were on the same page. I thought the simplest way to secure the chain would be to run a bolt or piece or wire or a zip-tie through the loose end to secure it to the length of chain that would be under tension. I don't work with Chains much though - there might...

Alright, here are a few screen captures of a quick model of what I'm thinking might work pretty well. It's not to scale, and I haven't put too much thought into the best way to do this yet, but I wanted to move past the 'why' and talk a bit more about the 'how'. Constructive feedback would be...

Exactly zero tires will be lifted by me. I took a spare tire with me when I went to pick up my trailer and had to use a dirt bike ramp to get it up into the van. I don't have any delusions about being able to He-Man those bitches.
