    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Designed and installed a lock for the master power switch on the M109. Feel much better about it not driving away.

    Just joined SS. I bought a ‘75 M109a3 last year and have learned much about my truck from this website while getting it the way I want it. Figured it was time to join.
