A project I've wanted to do...well, for **** near ever is to build a camper/expedition vehicle out of a M109. Something that could take me camping pretty much wherever I want to, tow my Jeep to and from some of the more famous trails, hit up paintball scenario games, things like that.
However, obviously, the Deuce isn't exactly known for speed on the highway. While I know they'll cruise quite happily at about 50-55 MPH, is there any way, short of swapping the entire drivetrain with that of a heavy truck designed for highway speed (Since I know that, if I swapped the engine, I'd probably have to swap in a new transmission, transfer case, maybe axels and so on...), of getting a Deuce to, at the very least, cruise safely at the average 60 MPH limit?
Any input would be much appreciated!
