OK, more pix.

back 2 the future in the sense that it runs on waste products like Mr. Fusion 8<) Think of it as a remote Weather Station, yea, thats it, a storm chaser/ghost buster kinda deal ;<)

Well, I've been busy the last few months working with the 109 van. Its proven its worth thru the rainy season , lots of low range 6 wheel drive miles without getting stuck. I'v had to customize it some to meet the needs of the mission, sorry to the folks who like to keep the vehicles original...

I first registered mine as a Jeep van= $25.00. Then I learned of the big fines associated with not paying the weight fee. So I turned that tag in and paid WGT for 22,000 lbs = $274.00. Alex

An older truck with a speedo that reads both miles and klicks has had the speedo replaced. Alex

Hmm.....France had yellow lights.....Vietnam had yellow lights.....I went to a French/Vietnamese restaurant once.......some Vietnames guys at work speak French.....hey, didn't Vietnam used to be French-Indo-China? I dunno, I'm just glad that my English is more gooder than my geography. Alex

Yea, I understand m16ty, but I had to cringe when reading the "You paid WHAT...." thread. Do I tell these guys what I paid? Nah...they'll tear me up. But then I started adding it up. What does a recovery cost, to start with? A day or so off work, cost of extra parts, fuel, etc. I didn't have to...

Ah, finally someone who thinks like me. I needed a Deuce that was road ready right now, recently serviced, new tires, brakes inspected, bearings, seals, batteries, belts, hoses, all elctrical, lights, signals, horn, no leaks anywhere, new seats, EVERYTHING 100 %, with bumper to bumper warranty...

How 'bout leave all the axle guts in and run a drive shaft back to the trailer.........

There is more to consider than the cost of fuel : registration is dirt cheap, insurance is dirt cheap, and no speeding tickets. Those three things alone make driving the Deuce cheaper than my Toyota. Add to that , no more running to the body shop everytime a shopping cart bumps into the vehicle...

Maybe because its new to me, but I drive my 109 everywhere. Its especially fun to pull up to the Starbucks at the mall and watch the Prius crowd pee their pants...8<)

Mine would say : "Thank goodness we have no Home Owners Association !" Alex

I chose the year myself. The data plate sez Kaiser-Jeep, which was purchased from Willys-Overland around 1965, I think. Then, like y'all said, sold to AM General around 1970. I could pick any year inbetween there, so its a '66. Alex

Another 109 in new Mexico, COOL !

I've done the rear steer thing on a smaller vehicle(Datsun pickup) , there are issues: 1. When travelling slowly and turning corners you want the rear wheels to turn OPPOSITE directions from the front. 2. When changing lanes you want them to go the SAME direction. 3. You can get the vehicle a...

Just because there isn't any good reason to get hassled doesn't mean that you won't. As an example, I had a Crown Victoria with an amber arrow stick on the rear deck. What a friggin hassle. No markings, civilian plates, no strobes, red or blue lights. The neighborr kids burnt it to the ground...

Welcome aboard the fora. Airsoft is cool, it teaches one to get the hell off the X, and thats a good thing. And ammo is cheap 8<) Your machine is the same vintage as mine, more or less : Alex

This one seems pretty effective: Alex

Did you start out saying " Here, hold my beer and watch this ! "? Experiences like your sgive me a deep respect for mud. Alex
