    Rear mounted spare tire anyone??

    Great question for us 109 owners. We also have 50 gallon spares mounted in place of the spare OEM fitment. Bumper mount - no. Obstruction plus blocks the radiator. Passenger floorboard - no. Wife wants to use her own door. No other clear un-obstructed area on the 109 to fit it. I did...

    Official 2010 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    I know I can consume a heap of the canned variety. That is if I am not frozen solid after sleeping in SCSG's unit - he is scaring me and loosing my hopes of sneaking in and taking a nap in there - at least my beer will stay cold. Now Crown is another story with a little of a different "clear"...

    Cleaning the interior...

    I would just leave the seats to hand cleaning - stay away from the dash and just pressure wash the crap outta the interior if someone was rude enough to spill crap in my interior. That would be the last of their rides. In TX - pressure wash to stay away from the intricate stuff - leave the...

    A Different Kind of M109 Conversion

    Heck with my piece o crap truck - I am sleeping in the cooler of SCSG truck. Does that unit use the condensation to cycle through the fan to help the cooling - meaning - the angle of the ac unit install is correct to help pass the condensation before it goes to drain ?? No matter - I think I...

    M109 camper conversion

    I have a battery operated one to stir my Crown and Cokes W/ice - makes a very nice Crown slush. Those are very cool tools and gobbles up old paint. How is it going on the skin mounting.

    Faded CARC from factory?

    Pic 3 after the truck is out of the lighting of the factory "surgical light system" appears to be the correct shade close to what yours is if you put it in the identical lighting. What someone used for the thinner - how they sprayed it - how close they sprayed - letting it air dry in a booth...

    Extreme Expedition Vehicle

    Yrs ago some of the semi tractor mfg's use to use these style of rubber pleated boots to go between the sleepers and cabs - WM is an ole trucker along with PB and I am sure others remember these. They came in all styles shapes and sizes - some that come to mind were the GMC's. If you could get...

    M35A2 LED Headlights

    When these first became available I posted the Trucklite LED's under the safety thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/safety/39901-nightvision.html That was late in 2009 - only reason I knew about them was because I am a major purchaser of Trucklite components. I know there has been several...

    Line-X over CARC?

    Not an apples to apples comparison BUT - I do have Herculon bed liner coating over CARC. I did make sure there was no peeling - those area's that were recieved a good scratch down - rust inhibitor coating - primered then CARC coated. Area's that got bedlinered over CARC got scratched down...

    Camo Added to the M109A3

    Gimp - ya gotta come to the Ga Rally to see the finished product. At least we know we will not have traffic around the 109's with MD's rig there - MD better have plenty of towels to hand out so folks can wipe the drool off his truck. The bonehead concept behind the camo pattern was just to...

    M109 camper conversion

    I know what its like to re-skin trailers when I worked for Fruehauf years ago - sometimes the framework would be standing just like yours. A lot of difference between sheet aluminum and sheet steel when hanging that stuff. Take all your conditions into factor and it is work - not even talking...

    Ga dot

    The question is the person who performed the FHWA qualified to do it. If he was not - was there another person there who supervised and they signed off on the paperwork. You could go to JJ Keller web page and look up form 285-FS-C annual vehicle inspecction - inspector certification form. I...

    Ga dot

    Just a follow up question on the stop. Was it that other required paperwork was not in the cab that the ticket was written up for ? Was it that the truck or trailer did not pass their inspection - even though it had the Federal Inspection - things do break where it will not pass a road...
