I decided recently to look for a M151 (A1 OR A2) to tow behind my Deuces, kind of like a dingy behind a yacht:) but I had a thought: CAN you safely flat tow a M151 (A1 OR A2)? Would you need to stay under 45mph if you did? I don't really want to deal with a trailer because that kind of negates...

My problem at 6'-03" #300 is not getting gut room so much as getting my size 13 boots on the pedals without catching my toes on them. My hips and knees just don't bend like a kids do and I am afraid I will have a wreck while tangled up. My M35 has the tool box seat and I "fixed" it by removing...

Bridge trucks maybe?

I expect on the top of the Astro, people poo on minivans but I love my Astro and will not replace it till it is ready for the scrap heap, and it will be replaced with another Astro!

SWEET! Good luck, be safe! And, I assume you know this (though assumption is the mother of all f'ups), the pigtails on the outside of the bed are for securing the canvas only and will not support any weight, be sure to attach your straps/chains to the frame, frame mounted loops, lifting point...

Put some metal loading ramps under the wheels of the van in the bed so the ramps are supporting the weight and remove the gate, so the tail lights will show, then you KNOW the gate will not be damaged. The Astro is RWD so there is some weight on the rear but mostly on the front so I would also...

I have never driven duals but "they" say singles will get better traction in mud (they don't float on top of the single track made by the front tires), and I suspect some better fuel economy due to less rolling resistance, but at the cost of some weight bearing capacity. My M35A2 is officialy...

Mine has 11.00x20s on it, installed by the Army.

I still don't know where to buy Hawkers, and how much they cost!!! Off to Wally-World methinks.

I was going to pull the original mounting bolts from the inner fender and use the holes to zip it back in the original spot.

It is working just fine like it is right now, I will zip tie it back in place till I can get hold of a new one.

Yes, I am very happy with her, she's a keeper. I have decided to quit while I am ahead, I have hit a home run twice now but my luck can't hold out forever! I suspected that was a flasher relay.....

I got my EUC clearance 20 minutes after I got home from looking at the truck on Monday, so I had to take the day off Wednesday and go back down there and get her! "Rod" the regular GL yard guy was off so I had to get a guy from the warehouse to go into the lot with me and he wanted to go to...

THANKS! Wow, less than 300mi put on her in 20 years!

Well, we got her home today, she ran GREAT! I like the sound of a turbo, but the non turbo with the muffler is also nice, different and nice in it's own way. There was some grey/black smoke with the military diesel (or JP8?) mixed with 5 gal of WallyWorld diesel I put in, but it thinned out and...

I was a bit dissapointed at first that it was a non turbo but you guys are making me really excited about it now! I can't wait to see how she runs. My M35A2 is a dog in the hills (I suspect the Army turned the fuel down), so I am used to a slowpoke, I hope the M109 is not even slower!! I am in...

As I understand it the non turbos eat about twice the fuel at highway speeds, correct? I am not worried about that, just checking.

I am going tomorrow (5 Nov) to recover my M109 from Ft. Sam and need some advice. The truck is a non turbo multi and I don't have any experience with them. Is there anything I should do different from my turbo M35A2? Anything I need to know before the trip? I AM looking forward to not having to...

Please Sir: Jeep M109A3 door number: 04C-66471 frame number: 0532-10969 Bought from GL two weeks ago, Ft. Sam Houston, San Antonio Texas. MERDC camo, non turbo. Thank You in advance!

I have been puting 1.25 gal of 87 octane pump gas in a 5 gal GI fuel can and topping it off with waste motor oil (which is 25% gas/75% WMO) and filtering it through a 5 micron filter before putting it in the tank. The truck started right up and idled at 800rpm with the hand throttle all the way...
