    M109A3 Shelter Conversion

    I like that ramp. I had an idea like that for storage since space on the 109 is a little cramped.

    I added a Muffler, in Disguise!!

    The Donaldson has a baffle.

    Shelter to Camper Conversion....

    Nice work! How is the ladder attached to the box? I have a non standard ladder for my 109 and it doesn't fit the stock mount so I'm trying to come up with a way to mount it.

    Deuce Still wandering across the lane

    I had this problem when I went to T831 radials and fixed it by changing the caster angle. I just cut some mild steel shims and stuck them under the stock shims and it worked. Steering is still a little lighter than I would like, but I can keep it on the road at 55 at least. Still gets scary in...

    M109A3 RV Conversion

    These are the guys that make them Custom Off-Road Equipment So far it's the only seal that keeps my M35A2 from leaking. The old style would be leaking again after one drive.

    Seat Question?

    They don't appear to have any right now. They turn up from time to time, you just have to keep an eye out.

    M109A3 Floor Tile-Bad idea?

    Yeah, but I haven't noticed it expand at all. It actually fit perfectly. I didn't have to trim any off the last row I installed. I might have to chisel out some small areas where the tongue of the last row is close to the frame of the box, but it's not rubbing so far. Sometimes things just work out.

    M109A3 Floor Tile-Bad idea?

    I used red oak, engineered floating floor from Home Depot. It has stayed where I put it so far. Its the snap locking stuff which makes it super easy to install.

    M109A3 RV Conversion

    Thanks. Good to see another CA 109 owner. I'll post some more progress soon. Isn't as easy now because I can't edit my old posts and have to get a mod to move them up.

    Off Grid

    Cool idea! I've been pondering where to put my batteries since I don't want them inside the box.

    Seat Question?

    I got mine from GL French Camp right up the road from you.

    Seat Question?

    I thought that was crazy when I looked at the tag on the box. They never even used them and sold them for next to nothing.

    Seat Question?

    I scored some new in box ones for my 109. Real nice seats and way nicer for rough roads. Since the stock 120PSI is too much I put a regulator on the air connection in the cab and ran a line out to a tee fitting to the seats. Had to drill new holes to mount them. About the biggest seat that can...

    M109A3 Shelter Conversion

    I did a floating floor in mine and it stayed put even on really rough roads up in the mountains. What did you put under it?

    Anyone have a rod bolt they could loan me or know their measurements?

    I just looked at one from my LDS I'm rebuilding and the head just says 10935343

    "C" Turbo Rebuild

    My 109 will even start leaking oil out of where the exhaust manifolds join and the turbo. When I first got my A2 it had sat on the GL lot for a long time and I was driving it around my ranch until I got it registered and it had oil running down the stack and all over the fender. When I took it...

    "C" Turbo Rebuild

    Make sure it's not blow by. My trucks get it bad with lots of idling and low(er) speed operation. A run on the highway for a while clears it right up.

    Insurance situation is crazy!

    This is my experience with deuces registered historic, but maybe it can help. I got the same run around from insurance companies either not insuring it or quoting some huge price. I went to a local Farmers agent and got it insured that day. He knew exactly what deuces were and thought it was...

    2nd and 3rd Tank

    +1 That's what I'm doing. Still debating a second tank, but I think it's easier to just put everything in the 105.

    New front axle seals dripping oil

    Not sure, but I'm sure it's possible.
