Ok, now for the first major project, power steering. I have a very tight turn behind my house that takes about 50 back and fill movements to get the truck into place. I quickly found out my old heart is not happy with armstrong steering so I studied what all systems where out there for a...

Yes it is wreckerman893. LONG way from being done enough to stay in. Just now getting started on the RV part of the build. Aslo every dime is going into it, so no $$$ for a trip this year. Hope to make '15 Rally though.

I had noticed that time to time the starter would take a couple of try's to get it to engage, so I pulled ( dragged, very heavy, ugg ) it out and cleaned the solonoid contacts, cleaned up the brushes a bit and also cleaned the relay contact points. Been working well ever since. I finally got...

So I decided in this day and age that I wanted to be able to lock up as much as possible so a keyed power/start switch was installed, a hood lock, fuel can lock, fuel cap and battery door locks, tool box lock, and a ladder retainer and lock. Also a few more lights, bumper driving lights, fog...

Oops, wrong fan pic. Here is corrected one. Also some pics of my LED front turn and marker lamps, clearance lamps, backup and traffic cameras, lock box and clock, remote brake fluid reservoir, and a Jeep CJ grab bar.

Some pics of add ons over the last several months. I mounted two 24v fans on the dash, a 70 watt 24v to 12v converter behind the passenger seat, some additional switches under the dash, a clock, a 2" receiver hitch, made a folding front bumper step and installed LED headlamps. Vast improvement.

Thanks Ray. Yes, RAYZER is the top dog on camper info.

Also took off the hard top for dent repair and paint. Bit heavy, had a friend help with removal, a neighbor with the install. Also pulled the seats for cab paint and insulation.

Glad you like 61sleepercab. Thanks. Yes, I now have the toughest and sorest thumb in the east. Oil sample a good idea, was thinking about JB Welding a reinforcement plate near cylinder #6 just in case. :) I keep the revs down and don't lug it either. Hoping for the best. I have purchased...

So here are a few pics of the paint wrap up. Not the shade of most trucks, but I like different and someone told me it was the shade the Marines used. Maybe. Also a couple of pics from when I went through the brakes. Rebuilt all six wheel cylinders, the master cylinder, airpack, replaced all...

Thanks agazza2. Yes, Rayzer has the greatest RV conversion on here, I believe.

I quickly decided that the tan paint had to go. It stood out like a sore thumb even behind my house. So I went easy and choose to start out with rattle can paint, a little at a time. I used Rustoleum satin Spruce Green. MANY cans later I had all of the front done, the right side and the...

Here are some more pics of what I had to start with. Looked rougher than it really was, just needed some TLC and a lot of paint! Tan had to go. Hood pic is of the auction lettering that the previous owner left on it.

Well it's been a long time in coming, several have said I need to start a thread on my 109 build, so here goes. Been interested in getting a deuce for a couple of years now, and wanted one that I could build into a "camper" type of vehicle. So to me, a 109 was just the ticket. Would have...

Just came across your thread. Great work so far, an inspiration too. Working on my own 109 project. Haven't started a thread yet though. Keep up the good work.

Came together well Ray! QUOTE=RAYZER;1587306]Figured out a good place to mount the 24" wide main ladder, still have to design the bottom support brackets.

Thanks Lindsey97, I think my bounce is from the rear, so I may try a full set if they have them in the correct bolt pattern and when (if) I can save up for them. As for the flat spotting Tinstar, I have driven over 90 miles in one run without smoothing out. And no terra firma attached either...

During my brake and wheel bearing service, I spun the tires with the axles out and didn't see any major out of round tires. Too much bearing drag to check for balance issues. I have tubes, so not keen on putting anything in the tires for balance. Anybody have any experience with Centramatic...

I have the same issue around 40 mph with my 109. I have 11.00 XL's all around. Front axle not engaged. Run 60 lbs. front and 50 rear.

Looking good Ray!
