Hey guys, sorry for the long hiatus. I have been travelling a lot, and just got back home from a 3 month work venture in California (thought I'd go somewhere warm this winter). I got a hard top (from boyce equipment in Utah CLICK HERE) in January to be installed in the next couple weeks, and...

SORRY!!! I thought this was my sub-zero oil field truck thread. I'm an idiot... shouldn't have posted this; the threads are very similar in content. Nevermind me! :roll:

Hey guys, sorry for the long hiatus. I have been travelling a lot, and just got back home from a 3 month work venture in California (thought I'd go somewhere warm this winter). I got a hard top (from boyce equipment in Utah CLICK HERE) to be installed next week, and will get some photos of how...

I like it! Actually, mine was over 3,000 miles... does that make my butt something harder? Like Titanium? haha

Welcome to the forum Buck. I too live in NW Montana. I'll tell ya right now- finding parts and accessories for Military Vehicles in Montana is tough. Finding military vehicles for sale in-state is just as tough. Fortunately, the world has fedex, UPS and the Steel Soldiers Classified section...

By the way, you'll see my company name painted on the side and rear of the 109. I found 6" tall number/letter stencil kit at Home Depot in the garage sale product area near the 'for sale' and restroom signs. The stencil kit was <$10. I used some fluorescent orange spray paint, and it worked...

I've finished the shelving (to the ceiling), and the 109 is packed with survey gear now. I'll get some photos of the finished 109 shelving and the pistol box in the cab uploaded soon. Here's a couple more photos...

I'm still here... Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I've been working out in BFM (Montana), and there is no convenient internet source out there. I've added some photos to make up for my absence. Since getting my M109 home, it's been at work every day with me since April...

whoops... posted the above reply to the wrong thread. Stalin, see this thread for details on my trip: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/76276-m109a4-sub-zero-oil-field.html

I made the trek, with only some oil leak issues that were resolved about 1/2 way through the trip. Details are in above posts. Good luck with your trip, and bring a buddy/helper along. PM me when you get closer to your voyage date, and I'll send you my contact info in case you run into any...

Subscribed! You have a talent for explaining your work process, and I appreciate the prices and descriptions of your aftermarket parts and supplies. You've given me a lot of good information to think about and consider for my 109 project... especially the 12v power setup. Keep up the good...

Thanks for the concern Rick. I thought about removing all the interior wall panels and replacing the insulation with R3 foam board and expanding foam/gap-filler. This would be the ideal place to start, but since I need to get this truck out in the field by next week, I didn't have the time (or...

Thanks for the helpful info Mike! I emailed White Owl... we'll see what they say. Your advice on repairing the windows sounds great. I got the interior painted with some Latex paint from Home Depot yesterday. Using some paint chips, I had them match the color. I told them it didn't have...

^photo explanations above, Left to Right: 1. The new tool box 2. This is just 1/2 of my survey gear for Gladys 3. Tire on rim, just need to figure out how to make a valve stem and put air in it. 4. Switches left of rear door (opposite evac fan) 5. What is that switch in its own junction...

Time for an update! I went to Western North Dakota back in February to do some oil field surveying. Instead of hauling Gladys (my M109) over there, i went to work for another surveyor where i could use his trucks. This gave me the opportunity to make some money and check things out. Last...

I'm home- Kalispell, MT. My odometer reads 3,135 miles more than when I started in Spring City, PA on December 26. I want to thank everyone that helped out along the way, and posted so much valuable advice. Everyone has been extremely helpful, and suggestions and input are welcome. This trip...

I'll be hitting the road here in a couple hours. I've got to run to the liquor store to pick up a case or 2 of beer (the local stuff I can't find in Montana), and I should be ready to roll. Gladys has sat for 72 hours now, and there's only a small oil puddle about 6-in in diameter. The puddle...
