    Help Identifying this little trailer

    Was hard to focus on the trailer, when my attention was drawn to the FJ. Very nice.

    Its home!

    Yep, My Harbor freight lights were wired wrong as well. Brakes and Lights were swapped. I tested them out before I used them so I easily rewired them in my garage.

    Title

    You have to verify the serial number of the vehicle, so basically you have to wait until your remove the item from the base.

    Any SS person in the Little falls, Minnesota area ???

    I wanted to go up and look at it, but that is a long haul up there. I wouldn't know where to park it anyway. I know someone that was thinking about going up to see it, and if they do, I will let you know what they come up with.

    Towing A M105 Trailer?

    Well, you can set up your hitch before hand, knowing the 105 hitch is at 36". If no spare, take some tube tire sealant (green snot). Or you can take a spare tube, tire hammer, pry bars and air compressor. I duct tape my magnetic lights to make sure they do not fall off.

    Fort Sill M105A2 Recovery

    Looks great, did your tailgate clear the hitch? I have the same hitch set up on my F250, and the handle of the tailgate just cleared the hitch. The hitch point was just at 30" or so high then. I notice you have fairly new tires on your truck? I am do for new ones (90,000+ miles on my...

    Has anyone run a GPS to check their speedo?

    The speedo gear in the transfer case on my 88 suburban was plastic. I assume it is the same on the m1009. Easy to replace. Take the cable off the transfer case, pull the end off the transfer case, slide the gear off, and slide a new one on.

    Amazing Deuce Trip Experience

    People like this do not judge. They don't care what mpg you get. Don't care how much it costs. Don't care if you are wearing street cloths, or a uniform. Don't care what the neighbors think. Wouldn't care if it was parked next to, in front of, or across the street from his house...

    SP97...? Titleing..? Hep me.

    Well since not just one truck is used to convert to an A3, there is not just one number you could use. Since the truck was essentially "born" in 1993, I see no point in trying to title it in a fraudulent manner, causing a problem for you or someone else down the road.

    M109 camper. need help

    The big box on the bottom left is a converter for blowers. It will control any blower motors you have in the truck. If you have no fan blowers, just take that box out. It will convert your 120vac to 24vdc to run the blowers from a gen set instead of running off batteries. TM...
