Do you still have that heater setup? I've been looking for one to put into my 109 camper conversion.

Thanks, but no luck. I really need to find a heater so that I can start to build-out the interior. Can anyone take some pictures and dimensions for me? That way at least I can make sure to save enough space to add one.

I just bought an M109 and there are a few parts that I'd like to pick up for it: I NEEED a hard top (have an almost brand new soft top for trade plus cash) - BAD complete gas tank with mounting brackets, fuel pump, etc.

I was only talking about using the frame of a 105, stretching it, and then setting a bigger box on top of it. Deck height is only something I'm concerned about to the extent that it affects handling. Loading isn't going to be much worse than any of our other trucks. Hah. I'm definitely going to...

Pics would be great, but a list of equipment you're using and any build notes would be REALLY helpful. I spent about an hour last night sourcing a boot to fit between the cab and the box, and it sounds like you could have just told me exactly what I needed to know.

I've actually got an old 10ft non-cabover Alaskan camper that I was going to use, but that was before I was planning to live in the Deuce full-time. If anybody wants it, I'd let it go cheap. Please do let us know what you're up to. I've been out kicking tires at RV dealerships all day looking...

There are a couple of M353 trailers up at Ft. Lewis that are on GL right now. I think I'll try to buy one of those unless something else comes up before those auctions end. Thanks for all the input, and please keep it coming.

Hmmm, that M353 trailer might be the way to go. Sounds like no matter what, the M200A1 trailer might be better than the M105 for what I have in mind. Maybe I'd better hold-off on buying that M105...

I think the guy that sold me this Deuce had one of those generator trailers, but the frame looked pretty narrow. Do you know how it compares, dimension-wise, to the M105? It would be nice if I could haul my truck in it once in a while, but it's not a deal-breaker if that doesn't work for one...

Thanks, I'm wearing out the search button, and think I've already found most of the 109 conversion threads. Do you know Ed down in Fort Jones? That's who I bought this Deuce from.

So, if I could get my hands on an empty one that's got a little bit of rust in the stake pockets, would that be a good deal? I should be able to get at least that much back out of it if I decide not to use it, right? That's a good point about the width. I was thinking that I could convert it to...

How much am I going to have to pay for an M105? I've seen prices all over the place, from $300 to $800.

Thanks, but that's a LOT heavier than I want to pull.

It's gotta be an enclosed trailer of some sort. The Tacoma already has a towbar with a pintle-hook on it so I can flat-tow it behind the Deuce, but it's going to be in storage most of the time. This is just to haul additional fuel, water, tools and dirt bikes.

I just bought an M109 that I'm converting into a motorhome. I'm going to be living in it full-time, so I need to haul a trailer full of dirt bikes and other toys and all my tools and junk. Ideally, I'd like to find (or build) something that's just big enough to fit my Tacoma inside (16ft), but...

I think I've already exhausted the 109 conversion search! Ha. Not sure where I want to settle down and build a house, so I thought I'd go have around. I'll probably be spending most of my time up here in the PNW, but I'll be up and down the whole west-coast. Down to Mexico for the Baja races...

Thanks guys. I'll post more pics as I rip into it, but there's not much to show right now. It seems like a pretty solid truck. I just need to score a few more things for it, like a hard top, winch, and heaters for the cab and box. I'm planning on living / traveling in this rig full-time for...

Would LOVE to hear what you have planned for round two. I just bought a 109 that I'm planning on living in full-time for the next few years.

Just bought a 1963 M109 from a guy on the Pirate forum. Drove it 250 miles home from Fort Jones, CA earlier this week and I'm diving right into a motorhome conversion. I read a lot of helpful stuff here before I bought this little Deuce, and now there's a lot more I need to figure out...

It's understandable for somebody to not want to encourage a person or company from commercializing an idea, and it sounds like that's more what the original poster is/was concerned about. No? I think it's a pretty cool idea. About as secure as the ignition lock in most other vehicles. Looks like...
