Default I just joined the M109A3 club....

Well....

another day....another win....

I bought a M109A3 today. I was bidding on a M813A1 up to $5525!! Then lost! Someone reeeeeeally wanted that truck. After buyers premium and fuel for a self recovery it was going to hit $7K!

Instead I bought (last minute bidding) a M109A3. Starts & Runs, Hardtop, heater, 24,XXX miles, looks good on the computer screen! haha.....$1570

Is anyone near Ft Drum, NY that could swing by and do a thorough inspection for me? I am going to be driving my deuce up to get it and either driving it back and letting my brother drive the deuce, or will be towing it back with the deuce.

Here are some pics....

Sorry if I outbid anyone!

Wow....I just realized that!

I was mad all evening thinking about how much it was going to cost me to get one. Talk about hidden in plain sight!

How does the M109 run compared to a deuce? Can it hit 56mph? What kind of fuel mileage did you get?

That is a clean looking truck, especially with the rare "unmolested hardtop" option!

The passenger wall in the box is intriguing to say the least. Can't wait to see what it really is. Good work. Wanna drag a trailer south for me?

Where is it? Can it fit in the bed of a deuce?

Here are more pics of the box....

My truck ran ran good it has the whistler turbo. Maybe 56 mph wide open, down hill. I never check MPG. I think it rides smoother , because of the extra weight on the back.

Very clean truck. I was going to add it to my watch list, but I believe it is a sprag truck. There is nothing wrong with a sprag truck, though...
