We have one of each, and they both run UMO. I've noticed no dif other than she can run away from me on hills (think I may have to turn her fuel down ;) ) My is non-bypassed, but that will change. I'm about to do that mod soon.

I would recommended this. It will prob last loads longer. We have been using one for about a year for pushing through filters. Now that I'm running 3 filters it pumps slower and heats up if I'm filtering straight WMO. Prob time to start mixing in something to cut it, . . . cold weather is...

Right, in the SE they just rust and fall off :D

:ditto: The parking brake on Elise's 109 would stick every time we used it, but only if we were trying to back-up. We'd have to run it forward a bit before backing. Finely I spent some time and adjusted the parking brake per the TM . . . it's a lot of adjusting :roll: Now it lets off when she...

I'm starting to think this is not happening :( I need to pick my mom up at the airport in PS at 11:00, was thinking that I would do that in the 109. Maybe during, or before going to the air show, . . . she used to be a pilot 8), think she would like it. So . . . are others going?

That was a Thurs night that I rolled into camp, I threw my pack into the She Beast and Fri morning we headed to the music fest. The next three nights were spent camping and vending. Then I had to get ready for the Dirtbag Gathering. It was two weekends off . . . and of course I was...

That night the wind blew in gusts all night long, making the aluminum buckle and sound. Nothing like being in a thin metal box when the wind is blowing. The next morning I woke pre-dawn to a grey/white world. "is that just the color of the earth & scubby sage?" . . . Nope, it's snow! As the...

Are we going to do this? :driver:

Ours still had non-rotten wood (yea for desert life), but it was warped and pulled out of the metal channel. I pryed open the metal channel enough to push the wood back in. After clamping it there I used a punch (old flat-ended scewdriver) to drive in the edges of the metal channel in, in a few...

You just have to get your azz out of those tick infested woods and back to the snake & cactus infested desert :D I'll be happy to do some desert runs w/ ya. :driver:

Two days after that dirt track exploring I was packed and ready to start my run south. I had been watching the winter storm that was moving in from the far north, but got delayed by a day harvesting fuel. As I left, just after dawn, the whole western sky was black w/ heavy clouds. This was...

Here's the tank set-up that we did. two 15 gal tanks w/ a 12v shurflo pump. I prefer to have my water in two diff tanks. If I get bad water somewhere, or a leak, I can cut one tank out. There is still more than half the width of the bed for storage.

From all the views that those of us posting builds get I think you might be surprised ;) I'm not looking for anything specific, just being a builder I love looking at the work of others. It is how we get inspiration to do that next " better than the last" build. If we send you enough pm's...

Maccus, nice looking conversion. Do you have a build thread? Sure would like to see more of what you did. :beer:

We have one of those that I pulled out of the She Beast, in it's place I put in a 12v case fan to use as an stove exhaust vent. (the box is 12v w/ it's own batts & alt, and at some point soon solar panels) I'm planing to go the same route w/ this build as they are quieter and take up less...

Thanks, In `99 I built a trailer that is 7' wide & 8' long w/ a bow top (kind of vardo style) that's been my home ever since. I now spend more time sleeping in Elise's 109 w/ her ;) This 105 is bigger than that, and I can stand up :grin: As I build it out I imagine I'll have even more in it...

Thanks, but after all these years of living in rigs & trailers I'm against cutting holes in my roof. It will always need to be maintained so as not to leak. Now it's true you didn't say to mount it on the roof ;) I'm looking for the mil spec vents that we see on S280's / S250's and the like. I...

Got it back to base camp in J-Tree, time to do some more work on it. First things first, . . . does anyone know where I can get vents like they use on the shelters? Or even what they are called so I can search them. Vents are def needed! Something about camping in the desert, in the summer...

:ditto: We also have ours under the bed inside. Being that you're from the far north ;) I would be afraid to have a water tank outside. Some good freezes and you'll be needing another tank.

I've heard that if you use the budd nuts on singles that you should put the rear lug nuts on them as well. Seems that they are not strong enough by them selves?
