Have wondered that as well. After putting them on Elise's 109 we did notice any, and all looseness that was in the steering system. I'll be adjusting the steering gearbox before she drives it back down to J-Tree (she may have to leave N.Nev before I can, and would be driving solo) :ditto:

Ok, we're headed north. Will try to sort it out as we go :-| First, fuel gathering. We'll see what we find around this lake community. W/ more fuel we'll be able to work our way north. Have some contacts in Gerlach . . . I'm sure I can get us there ;)

Left J-Tree headed to Parker, `Zona, so that I could reg the new M105A2 Hardtop. Leaving the High Desert for higher (and cooler) elevations starts by heading down to the Colorado River, just over 400'. Made it there early on Fri so that the reg'ing was painless w/ min of waiting. Last night we...

What if the truck came w/ the ether set-up? Mine did. :-(

Ok, this is what the jack looks like. And this is what mine has in the corners,

I think that is M109 Guy's build thread

That's correct. The top of the jack has a channel that fits the ridge beam. Once it's jacked up and pinned in place the jack gets removed. I sure would like to come up w/ an easier way to do it, . . . like hydraulics in all four corners ;) I can take some photos and post up tomorrow . . . been...

I pull trailers a lot. I think that my 2 1/2 runs better in the sand w/ a trailer on, it helps keep the rear from hopping & spinning. I do also air down, but then I only run 25 in the rear duals as it is (loads of dirt/sand roads). Elise's 109, w/ singles & the weight of the box, does way better...

I'm not sure that the oil came out of the drain hole. A lot of it looks to be forward (engine side) of the bell housing. I'm use to the oil getting blown back and coating the bottom of the tranny + things farther back. I would think that the oil is coming from somewhere high up on the rear/side...

That hole is just the bellhousing drain, the plug (for fording) should be in the other spot next to it. Lube order is # 9-2320-209-12-1 Sched Maint is # 9-2320-209-10-2 Those are both good ones. I would look above & forward of that "rear of engine leak" to see where it started.

That looks like a rear dif to me. Don't think it would be the slobber tube.

SRODocker, I see that you have a couple vents on the front of your trailer. Are they the one that get used on 280 / 250 shelters? Did you do that or were they there when you got it? I'm thinking of adding vents on the lower section, above the 105 bed, in the section that gets covered when its...

Standing by

Been looking at dual filter bases for our WMO filtering. The question that I have is how do I tell if they are in series, or parallel, or are they all in series? I'm finding links to units w/ very little info. And what would be a good size for the spin on filter mount point, one that would let...

We dealt w/ that on the 109. Brake cleaner works great. Through the access plate on the tranny, and/ or the drain plug on the bell housing

It is a bit of a hassle raising & pinning, I plan to do some work to change that. Once it's up it solid. All my other rigs have low headroom inside . . . I want one that doesn't.

Sir Blissfull - There are two more here (J-Tree) where I got mine (privet individual) he may be willing to sell one or both.

Not so hard. It has a jack set-up that is put in the middle on the roof beam, unpin the four corners, jack up to full height, re-pin the corners, take the jack out. The main prob is that the space between the inner wall & the outer walls is too much. It won't just slide up straight and sweet...

Just saw that Scott has the same trailer, thanks

So you made yours stay up all the time and put on a dif door. How does it pull that way? Any top heavy-ness?
