    looking for a soft top for an m109

    Or go with a hard top, The 109 to me looks funny with the top down/off. Can probably sell off your soft top frame to offset the cost of a hard top.

    The photos by chance taken with a Kodak Digital camera were they? Everyone I know that has one has had the lens covers stick half way open like that.

    Drive or fly to pick up CUCV?

    Have someone close remove it from base for you, and look it over, if you plan to drive it. Otherwise I would trailer it.

    WMO fuel, any long term damage or issues with soot buildup in cylinders?

    Nice! I picked up another 20 gallons of waste oil from a friend of a friend on my way home from work. I have been filling my tank up with wmo for 2 months now. I figured with the diesel and gasoline that is already in the tank will be a good enough mix for me to run 100% wmo now that it...

    20 ton bottle jack air/hydraulic

    I have the HF one, plus the original one that came with the truck, a 25ft air hose, lug tools, and 2 wheel chocks in the box under the drivers side of my 109.

    CUCV, F150, Suburban for bad weather vehicle? Which and why?

    I still miss my 88 suburban. It took a lot to get it stuck, and the wheelbase is shorter then a standard cab truck, so it was actually easy to get around town with it. With the 350 tbi it would get 15mpg on the interstate. I would like to find one that is brand new again.

    So its 4 am right

    If you are happy with it, then that is "ok" in my book. Now you have the rest of the weekend to enjoy your truck instead of working on it more. I tend to get that way myself. Work on it until it is done or until I fall asleep with a wrench in my hand.

    Transfer Case Slippage

    its the shift fork in the transfer case. You do not have to shut the truck off when this happens, just put the transmission in neutral, then move your transfer case to 4low, then back up to 2hi. If you are quick enough, you will not even hardly slow down and you will be back in gear again...

    corporate 12 bolt into an 85 1009 help

    Should be a simple bolt in swap. Grab the drive shafts as with a 6" lift, they might have put in longer drive shafts. 12bolt gives you a bigger ring, but smaller pinion over the 10bolt, so probably not much difference in strength. I would find out what gear ration they have in the axles, and...

    Solargizer

    Depends on the solargizer, but both of mine are good for 12 and 24 volts. The common military one is the square 5watt panel which on the sunniest day has a max output of 16.5 volts. Get in touch with pulsetech with the model number and they will tell you for sure. They have excellent customer...

    My truck got NOS!!!

    I think there are a lot of people having issues seeing sarcasm in this thread. Which makes it kind of funny, but sad at the same time. For the record, ANYONE THAT HAS READ THE TMs, (or has common sense) KNOWS THIS IS A COMMON ETHER START SYSTEM Almost every truck up here in the north has...
