Hey guys this question has been churning in my head for a few months now. I bought a M939 Battery Relocation Kit for my M109A3 project. I'm going to mount it in the van for my battery bank. Anyways, I have never seen this particular kit on a 900 series 5 ton. Does anyone have a pic of where...

JBLM MEP-006A (PU-650B/G) Recovery Trip Sorry for the long drawn out story. Seems I can never put down a brief recovery story..LOL. Yesterday was a very successfull recovery trip at Joint Base Lewis McChord. I headed up at 0 dark 30 to pickup my PU-650B/G (fancy way of saying a MEP-006A mounted...

Slaving a deuce w/a generator question Hey guys, I'm looking for a trailer for my 109. I'm looking at either a M200a1 chassis with a M105A2 bed or just a standard M105A2. On the manifest is a military diesel generator. My question to the electrically competant, what is the minimum sized...

Hey guys. I know a MEP-006a is overkill for powering a house. It was cheap enough so I bit and won it on what I thought was a very low bid. I was mainly after a 10kw generator but this 60kw came up first. I know there is an issue with wetstacking if you use this genny with less than 80% or so...

Hey guys got a quick question. How tall is the MEP-006A mounted on a M200A1 w/standard 9.00x20's? Trying to figure out a home for this unit. Thinking the garage may be an option. If too tall, airing down the tires may be needed. I checked GL's current auctions for dimensions and came up with...

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone has married a M105A2 bed onto an M200a1 chassis? This is my next planned project to go along with my M109A3 w/w built. I initially planned on just dualling out a M105A2 but felt it may be too wide of a load. The reason for the duals is to add stability to the...

Hello gentlemen, I along with a few SS made a trip out to our local MV parts guy. I stumbled upon a stubby antenna of sorts. It tooks like the bottom portion of the AS-1729 antenna. I did a search and was unable to come up with anything. Here's the info on the antenna: Antenna, Radiating...

Keep getting mixed answers on this one. Want to see what the consensus is. What lubricant do you use in your airpacks?? I know I know, I don't like polls either but this get the point across without reading through all the posts

Hello gentlemen. A couple weeks ago I took my M109A3 out on the road. I was a mere 3 miles from the house and noticed the temp gauge was pegged (240 degrees +). I drove her home and cooled her down. The temp was hovering around 160 after 2 hours of cooling. I was thinking it was a closed...

Hello gentlemen, I am planning on moving my spare tire to the rear of my M109A3 to make room for an aux fuel tank. I remembering seeing a pic or two of this on SS deuces. Does anyone have a pic or even better, how you did it? I've got a couple ideas. My first idea is to set up the spare tire...

Hello gentlemen, I am wanting to do some touch up on the engine. I ordered what I thought was the correct paint from RAPCO but it's too Khaki (24087). Any ideas? The LS-454 is exactly what I am looking for as far as color. The engine pick really doesn't show the color too well with all the dust...

I am starting this thread to chronicle my particular off-grid/off-road/outback camper/bug-out vehicle/emergency comms project with my newly acquired M109A3 w/w. There have been a ton of M109A3 camper based threads in here so I figured I may as well throw mine in the bunch. My intention is to...

First off my apologies. This turned into somewhat of a diary I was finally blessed with the ever elusive M109A3 w/w I have been waiting for. I cannot start my recovery story until I begin with how this whole thing came about. Just bear with me gentlemen this is more of a journal . I have been...

Just as the title states. Does anyone know what the military color code is for the green interior of the M109A3/M185A3 van box? Is this color commercially available? I am planning my M109A3 camper conversion. However, I am going to maintain the military look for the entire truck. This includes...

I have a RT-524a/VRC and a RT-246a/VRC. I noticed there is a difference between one particular internal part b/w the two. Can someone please ID the cylindrical part toward the rear of the radio on the RT-246 by the power source? Looking at the pic it is oriented North/South Pic on the left is...

Hello, I'm trying to track down the SS who had the complete M35A2 Multifuel winch driveshafts. Does anyone know who that may be? I know it's a shot in the dark but I erased all my PM's and lost his contact info. Heck if someone has complete deuce winch driveshafts in here let me know:-) Now...

I am looking at outfitting one or two of my deuces with a military radio set up. I have been getting all kinds of opinions on what the ranges are on different radio setups. Does anyone have any factual info on the different radio setups w/regard to ranges or real life info. I know range will be...

I have been mulling around with the idea of installing some military radio sets in my deuces. I have pretty much narrowed it down to an RT-524/R-442 combo. I know several SS out there have some nice installations that they would like to show off. So, my request is to show (pics) what you got...

Not sure if these videos have been posted or not. Here are gov't videos highlighting the new FMTV w/contrasts to our deuces. I don't care what they say, I would still take the deuce over a FMTV anyday. It is a two part video series. Enjoy
