    Well first camping trip of the season was a success! Truck ran flawless. Lost an inner axle seal on rear left but changed it at campground with my dad's assistance. Job went smooth. Very pleased with setup. Adding some things to the box including ac.

    Over the last couple weeks I made some big changes to the inside of the truck. I decided to remove the air mattress. I wanted something that was more of a permanent solution and the aired was a little bulky. Instead I went with a full size bedframe and memory foam mattress. Made a huge...

    I bought them from amazon. They are made by PMD products and are vinyl. They cover a 43" to 45" tire. For the 9r20 I have plenty of room to maneuver them. They were $40/pair but Def worth the money. They used a high quality material.

    Today I Installed my nos air compressor filter and gasket. Also changed my coolant filter and after 500 miles the inside of the filter was mud! Glad I changed it. I'll continue changing it every 500 miles. See how much crap I can get out of the block. Earlier in the week I changed my 9r20...

    G177 Tires on a M35A2, How do you like them?

    They work great! If you don't have a load in the back the rear end can float going over large bumps. But they give you a little more top speed and last forever. Highly recommended.

    The fogs are tilted quite a but. I'll look tonight and see if they appear blinding or not. I might throw a switch in eventually.

    Well it's the first 70+ degree day with sunshine for the year so it's time to get something done on the rv. I mounted up 2 brand new led trucklite floodlights. Wired them to the headlights and they turn on automatically when using low beam. Might get a set in the future that wire to the high...

    Well my parents, girlfriend and myself decided to go to Gettysburg with the trucks at stay at a campground. We took the 109 out on it's first long voyage. Almost 210 miles one way. Didn't miss a beat. Before the trip I had to replace the transfercase because there was alot of metal in it when...

    Internet hotspot in m109a3

    I am looking at options for internet in my m109a3. Once doors are close currently there's no communication with outside world. Does any one have any internet setups on their trucks?

    Finished painting the m105a2 w/ s250 shelter. Painted gladhands and new hardware for dataplates. Taking truck and trailer for a spin today so see how it handles before taking the truck out on it's first voyage.

    My 1971 Am General m109a3 RV build

    The tires came with new flaps and I bought brand new tubes. I think the 10r20s would be a good choice if you want a little bit more speed at top end. I wanted all the power I could get towing a m105a2 w/shelter on top of a heavy m109a3 to begin with. So I chose the 9r20s. Also because if there...

    No issues whatsoever. People have told me that the m109s have a harmonic vibration when driving that feels like a tire is out of balance. I had that issue driving it home. The new tires don't have that at all.

    Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. Plan is to finish up the inside and get one last coat of paint on the van box outside and install the pyrometer. Then I gotta paint the trailer to match. More photos soon!
