    Deuce questions

    I believe it's 5 bolts on each side and the front two are the long ones with springs.

    WSUCougar's M925A1 Acquisition and Build Thread

    Are those switches three position? I have those same lights I need to wire in and would like high and low beams on the same switch. If you need any more IR lenses I'd trade the two I have for some clear ones.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Finally found my starting issue. It was clicking a bunch before it would turn over. I cleaned every connection, had the starter solenoid rebuilt and replaced the relay. Turns out it was just the wire going to the relay. The insulation had cracked in a few spots and it corroded inside, so I just...

    Nobody wants to insure my deuce!

    Try Farmers. I had the same problem and Farmers was the only one that was reasonable. It's $25 for 6 months of 500/500 liability. The agent was into trucks and knew exactly what a deuce was too.

    So....what do you guys exactly do with these trucks???

    When I was a kid I saw one in Tremors II and always wanted one. Now, many years later, I have two! I use mine for getting hay, lumber, camping, going to the shooting range, taking girls on dates, hindering traffic and whatever else may come up.

    Welcome to the 109 club! I remember how exciting it was the day I got mine. That looks like one of the MRE Depot rebuilds. You going to do an RV conversion on it?

    I used less than a gallon for a completely dry system.

    I think its time for a head gasket replacement.

    How much of a leak is it? The old style weep oil on the block. It was a bummer when I cleaned my engine up real nice and it got oil all over it again after a few drives.

    Return Line Fittings

    I just replaced the return lines on one of my deuces today. I got all the fittings and air brake line at NAPA. Although it looks like they're cheaper at Mcmaster-carr.

    Recovered XM963 deuce prototype today.

    So it's a cross between a deuce and a 900 series 5 ton? Interesting. Please post more details about it.

    Mounting 11x20's

    I had that problem. The problem is the caster angle. Do a search here on that topic and it will tell you how to correct it. Mine was just scary at high speeds because it wandered so much. All I did was shim it and it corrected it.

    Mounting 11x20's

    I got mine done at Les Schwab when I went to radial Firestone T831s. I got the wheels and rims powder coated and they check to make sure they're safe. I stayed there when he was mounting them so I could learn how it was done and do one myself. Pretty much like what's been mentioned already...

    Ford Gold Anti Freeze

    Coolant will get trapped in the oil cooler since the inlet is at the top of it. Not sure if there's a way to drain it without taking the cover off.

    Military modifications to M35's

    Mine is former USMC and has the loops welded on the bumper for lifting it.

    M146 RV Conversion

    What kind of cover did you use on the dinette seats? I like the table too. This is just like what I have envisioned for my 109 dinette. Cool seeing one done.

    M109A3 Shelter Conversion

    The top one is for shore power and takes a special, expensive plug that almost never comes with the 109s. I installed a Marinco outlet to power it.
