    Some pictures would be nice. It's been a long time since I've seen that truck.

    Secondary fuel filters have been upgraded to the spin-on set from Westfolk. The Vanner Equalizer was purchased from a seller on Ebay. 60A version. Good luck with your projects.

    That cold patch tar was there when I bought the truck! Was the handy work of the Mississippi National Guard. Dry ice blasting would get rid of it easily but no one around here offers it. I will try dry ice on the tar and a vibrating scraper to remove it. I am open for other suggestions. :idea:

    Well she was a bad girl this morning! Took her 1 mile to the gas station and put $100 in Diesel in the tank. She ran fine on the way there! Took her out on the interstate for a trip to Camp Shelby for the group get-together at 8:00 AM. As I was speeding up to merge into traffic i felt a...

    That liquid vinyl is junk! Used it before and found it peals off easily. I will try to remember and put a coat of paint on it or a soft vinyl sleeve. Still need to repair the roof on the 109 box. Have to scrape the tar off the seams and apply seam sealer. Then I need to do some spot rust...

    Tuesday June 12, 2012. We finally installed the hard top on the M109A2 today. With some adjusting we got it all bolted in and the windows lined up properly. We used all 1/4" stainless steel bolts to attach the Top to the truck cab. Seam sealer was applied under the gasket where the top...

    I sent my hard top to my friend Allen's to have it restored properly. After a week of part time work he got the Top repaired and repainted. He assembled the top and back section using the 1/4" stainless steel bolts I got for the job. He used the rubber gasket and seam sealer to seal the...

    It's hard to tell how much quieter it is with the insulation. i use hearing protection when driving the truck. I installed the insulation to cut down on the heat coming from the engine during the trip. It does seem to be cooler ( I don't feel that radiated heat coming from the floor as...

    On Sunday I went to visit Tim and picked up the Winch I bought from Sirblissful as well as the 7 mounted tires 11.00-20 XL's on Deuce rims. Had a great time talking MV's and swapping stories. I had my Road Service guy come by Monday to work on my tires. Had to remove a very good spare off a...

    Today I decided to replace the vent tubing going from the fuel tank the engine valve cover breather tube. I found a break in the tube over the batteries when I was trying to reconnect the batteries after the insulation installation. The old tubing was 3/16" steel tubing with flair ends...

    Today I finally got a chance to go out there and finish the cab insulation job. Got rained out since I last posted. I purchased some SUV floor mats at Advanced Auto and installed them over the vinyl I installed the other day. I also purchased some Krylon Fusion green CAMO paint. I spray...

    I know its been a while but I finally got some more work done to the M109. I finally cut the templets out for the cab insulation. They were very accurate. I cut all the insulation pieces that cover the wall behind the seat (6 pieces) , the 2 vent sides, the 2 firewall pieces and the 2 cowl...
