I have all the lights in mine, if I get a chance to drop by my parents, I will check the bulbs.

Tim;
We will bring a check.

 

[goldneagle]

I wonder if anyone has a cheap source for Crawfish? After-all we are in Louisiana. Just a suggestion.

Everbody bring at least enough fo themselves and use it. I had plenty of water in my ice chest and was offered drinks all day. I didn't realize how dehydrated I
was getting till we left.

 

[timntrucks]

yes working you do need plenty of water. at the rally i hope we just relax and rejoy each others company.. but of corse we do trade off goodies an have to load and unload those..

Introduction

Hello everyone.

My name is Richard, or Rich for short.

Jim from Lafayette pointed me here. I recently bought a Mil trailer for my M109 from him and plan on meeting him next Saturday at the rally to pick it up.

I have a 68 M109 with 8k miles on it, but it is more than just a collector vehicle, I actually use it during hurricanes and emergencies for a mobile communications center for my company. I own New Orleans Information Services, a local computer services company.

Barring any emergencies, I should be out there next Saturday (Jim sent me the address) and I'll bring several trays of Chick Fil A nuggets.

I am also in collector camaros and have several muscle cars, and am on several forums with that hobby.

Thanks,

Rich

 

[jluv1185]

Hello, and welcome! Are u bringing your m109?
P.s. Chic fil a is freaking awesome!

 

[jimm1009]

Not put any pressure on him (Rich) but he told me that he was going to clean it up especially for the visit to Tim's "O.D. Green MV Estate" next Saturday.
Looking forward to meeting him and other MVers too.

Rich,
You have to come now. We didn't have a M109 last year.
Tim and family are the best of hosts, you won't be dissapointed.

 

[Trailboss]

I plan to bring my M109A3, but it's condition is a-la-GL. Haven't done anything since I got it but check brakes and fluids. It can be the BEFORE to Rich's AFTER.

 

[timntrucks]

the more the merrier.. there is 2 camaros down the road less than 1/2 mile that are going to be scrapped out.. one has one mean hood with a wild scoope on it..

 

[SCSG-G4]

Tim,
Screw in bulbs should be 130v and marked "Rough Service", probably 60 or 75 watt. Probably helps if they are on the small side as the fixtures don't have a lot of room. No clues on the other ones. Here's a link to the Sylvania pages > http://assets.sylvania.com/assets/Documents/IN006.b2ada95c-40ae-46d8-b626-3b7e90292220.pdf
- probably the 12455 or the 12528 types - it's an A19 type bulb according to what is in my M109.

Do we have a final tally of who's bringing what?

Oh, George's brakes are bled, tranny and oil is changed. The only issue I have is my can isn't sealing properly on the rear oil filter and it's seeping. I want to change to the spin ons... Anyone bringing them? If so let me know how much. Also gonna bring oil with me and check regulary. Looking forward to it!
