DJ, Coming down to the wire for me and the Duece for this trip. I am still working on the mechanicals of the Duece (Still need to go thru Front axle, check drivelines, oil change etc. Camper should be usable, not finished but usable. If duece is not ready, fiflth wheel is.... so GAME ON...

Re: RE: Won an M109 today I'm looking forward to seeing how you outfit the van body. Me too, there a a couple good thread about campers, also one about a wyoming trip that has good M109 conversion pics.

I log in 3-5 times a day. My work computer makes me log in, my home computer will hold the login credentials. Although once logged in on my work computer, if I dont close the window, I do not have to log in again until I do. Hope this helps.

Im getting ready for a trip, It may be possible to get NEW Veggie oil for less than diesel, are there any concerns with using this in the engine as the viscosity is similar to motor oil. Mix ratio's for NEW Veggie oil?

OH NO!!!! Not this thread again!!!! Last time this happened the moderators had to close and move the thread due to people getting mad. :deadhorse: Don't Flat tow Duece with Pickup, Van, etc. Use a bigger vehicle or put it on a trailer.

Got a towbar that will reach the pintle of a Duece? :wink:

14x20's will fit 2-1/2 ton? I thought 11 x 20's were max? can we clarify for the 2-1/2 ton.

Looks like an engineering oops! :cookoo:

That may be the better method for me. Avoiding Maricopa and Grapevine would be best for the moment. At least until I feel more comfortable with the truck.

Will, Who are you talking to?

Took the Duece Camper out for its first drive (since adding the shelter) last night....60 mile round trip. Had an interesting harmonic on it that I need to check out. Breaks good, tracks good, Taking it to Oceano Dunes on Saturday night for a trial run. Lots of blindspots though.

put some 40" tire on them and mabye you will be able to make it down the highway.... rofl

RE: DO IT..... Sounds like your on the right track. Let us know how the registraion process goes..... [thumbzup]

What the heck can you do with one of these, isnt the top speed really really slow? For a trailer queen 4x4 it might work, but I would think swapping the engine into an older CJ would be an easier solution. Unless of course, you will be re-engineering the suspension anyhow. See...

101-126 easy drive for me...probably better than trying the 166-grapevine by myself. I may have to take you up on that offer. I lived in Santa Clarita for 6 years, I know the area. How far is it from Santa Clarita? If the Bakersfield guy ends up getting on board, it may be a good convoy as...

Paid about 600 to move mine a couple hundred miles...Duece plain, no frills is about 13K..Mine was 13,400 lbs when I picked it up.

Is there a member out of Bakersfield that usually attends this event? If so, who is it. Might make me feel more comfortable in taking my duece in numbers rather than alone.

That is right, It still does dump though. You need to watch the lights and I think the pivot bolt should be put in double shear for added strenth.

Not Recommended, but this is my M101A1 overused. 6,000 lbs. IN trailer. Towed poor, went very slow. Sometimes friends with tractors get overzealous!
