    How Common is this M109?

    There is far too much twisting to use anything but a flexable material in the tunnel. Take yours on a left right bumpy road and look out the back window you will see the relative motion between the two.

    WA State - Can you just go "Home Made" title for trailers?

    The answer to the question of trying to title it as a home built is no. I tried it. SF97 get it now they don't go back that far in history then get the ID plates because WA is every year registration and all the "fee's" they tack on so you can't ever leave for less than $100 for your mandated...

    Turbo "j-pipe" angles for making a new pipe...

    How Common is this M109?

    I am doing that to my 109 RV conversion I an using 1" box tubing rounded corner squares to make the "portals" to firm up the sheet metal and be able to anchor the gasket. After 20 years of being on submarines I think the passthrough is spacious and roomy your opinion on that may vary.

    Need advice for a 500 mile trip in a deuce.

    M109A3 30 MPH Bounce

    Of the 3 I have driven long distance in I would have to classify it as "normal" My budy in the chace car pulled up super close and watched and the back axle "chatters/bounces" up and down and that seems to cause the 109 feeling. I am guessing that the suspension works much better when the...

    The Epic Separation

    Not to totaly derail the thread but you would hate my 16 years of sea duty and my retirement job which has me out to sea 2 months on the ship and 1 month off duty/home. The truly silly thing is I had to pay $925 so I can go to school to learn shipboard safety. This is a requirement for...
