    24 Volt battery????????

    First, you would also have to change the atenantor that charges the 24 volt battery, because the altenator that is there is a 12 volt.

    M109 Front End Alignment

    bad shocks can do that to. i have had to replace the shocks on 2 of my deuces (my M109a3 and one of my M35a2's). as far as an alignment i have no idea :drool: i have a great mechanic :mrgreen:.

    Mounting of Headlights

    here is a link with pictures that explain the differences. i did not move the low headlights on my M35a2 when i added the winch and it does not effect driving. there is a spot about 20 feet infront of the truck where the bumper blocks the light but you can't see it from the cab...

    "Correct" Shackles for CUCVs?

    change the front ones. if you pull with them it will put the pressure on the bumper and could bend it. i had that issue when i added a second set of shackles to my M109a3. if i had sued the same shackles as the top to pull i would have to put them on backwards to pivot the right way. then...

    IR headlights

    it does rock, but not in the infrared spectrum. the only thing i don't like is with the winch and the blackoput ligh on the bottom like my M109a3 most of the light shines in the back of the bumper. i have not got to run it at the farm at night to see how much shines on the road. in town it...

    IR headlights

    the 4th one is not an IR thought. what type of vehicle (in general, don't give away the element of surprise) are you going to put the IR's on. that way we can be a little more helpful.

    M101A3 bed length issue

    do like i do in my ford ranger before i got a deuce. a sheet of plywood and some 10' 2x4's. when you get ready to go put the 4 2x4's down (hanging out over the tailgate) and then the plywood. load on top of that. everything will slide to the front and all you will need is one strap. cheaper and...

    BOLO missing truck

    if you helped him get the good job maybe you could unhelp him keep the good job. show up at his job site and ask his boss if you could talk to him over coffee off the job site.

    Deuce differences

    i added the winches to both. the 70 M35a2 (i think she is older but thats what the paperwork said) has the bottom headlights. she has led headlights now, but even with the winch it works fine while driving. there is a spot infront of the truck where the lights don't shine , but you can not...

    BOLO missing truck

    GA does not do titles but they do regestrations right. it should be in the DMV system somewhere. i bought a deuce in GA and when i got my title in Texas they looked at the bill of sale and the regestration from GA and boom it was a done deal. go do a DMV search and if it has been sold and he...

    What the M101 was designed to do.
