    Non-opening windshields?

    I looked at the site, does it come with the windows and wiper assemblies?

    Non-opening windshields?

    I saw this truck on FB today and it has what I have been looking for: non-opening windshields. What are these? "Stock" or fab'd? I've got a glass guy if anyone knows if it's just a seal or if it's a completely different frame. Thanks!

    M109a3 rear door lock

    For the M109a3 campers: What have you done for a locking handle for the rear barn doors? I pulled the 2 floor/ceiling rods out and now I just have the handle. Is there a direct replacement you've found that has a key lock? Thanks!

    M109 box weather stripping?

    Anybody have a source to find rear door and window weatherstripping for the M109 box? I'm midway thru my gut job and just really noticed the stripping was pretty much gone. Thanks!

    Seat options?

    After over a month and 1200miles on the beat up spring seat, I needed a change. I went to Pull-A-Part and got a really nice set of Trailblazer seats with the integrated seatbelts (mainly for the wife). Fab'd up mounts and mounted them in. Look great, comfortable as hell, and unusable for me...

    Another newbie with a brake question

    I was on a weird shift and didn't get to it till yesterday. I was able to do the fronts since I'm waiting for my budd socket to arrive. The pads weren't too out (about 30) so I adjusted those out. Then did a look around of the axles. I found one rear and both front cylinders seeping. So I...

    Another newbie with a brake question

    Not yet, figured that would be my next stop if it wasn't a glaring issue sticking out

    Another newbie with a brake question

    After a deep dive in the search with vague terms, I figured I'd ask I've had my M109 for over a month and well over 1000miles, the brakes are becoming a concern. They stop the truck and the pedal travel hasn't changed. Problem is: it's an inch off the floor. I drained the air tanks, checked all...

    Turbo questions

    Thanks, that helps! Did you use any RTV on the gasket or throw it in dry?

    Turbo questions

    I learned a new fun fact today: A turbo will stay on the manifold with just one mounting bolt. My M109 has been my work/daily for the past week or so and while I knew the turbo manifold mount gasket was bad, I hadn't thought to look deeper till I went to put the gasket on this weekend. I...

    Turbo gasket

    Turbo gasket After putting a muffler on my 109 I found the loud exhaust leak. The exhaust manifold to turbo gasket is blown. Couple questions: Any links to the gasket? Quicker delivery, the better Can the gasket get changed without yanking the turbo? Basically, can I unbolt the turbo, lower it...

    Better trans internals?

    Worth a shot to ask.

    Better trans internals?

    I did some searching and came up with a mixed bag of info I've got a '72 M109 that seems to have a 4th gear that didn't play well with the others. It would grind a little shifting into it over 1500rpms and progressively got to where it just gave up It must be contagious because my Xterra...

    M109 rotted floor

    On a separate note: Are these inverter boxes worth anything?

    M109 rotted floor

    After a week of on again/off again work, the rotted sections are gone. I found some drilled holes in the front/sides/rear that were open from previous outside bolt ones that were letting water in. I ran bolts with rubber sealing washers and RTV thru and sealed them up. Now to rust convert, add a...

    M109 rotted floor

    The wheel well plates are rock solid and don't need replaced. Hell, I don't even think I need to pull them.

    M109 rotted floor

    I'm thinking it's splash up from the road and mudd caked in there. I power washed the piss out of it and have been daily driving it the past few weeks thru storms and generally horrific rains. No leaks. It's all getting gutted regardless. The subfloor replacement materials and sealing up the...

    M109 rotted floor

    Alright, pics..... It's a hot mess since I'm still in the demo phase. The substructure and support beams are rock solid but the sheet metal is toast. I'm still on the fence of replacing the sheet metal or doing a membrane coated 3/4" marine ply with a Raptor coating. This isn't going fording or...
