Haven't found a '146 yet, though have seen the windowless version of that trailer. I s'pose I could install the windows from the 109 box (not have as many) but that sound like alot of work 8<(

Yep, me too, got a line on the conversion parts 109--->tractor. That military 5th wheel is cool cuz it articulates in two dimensions. Sooooo....anyone have a 146 trailer to sell, somewhere in the southwest?

I like the lock pin inside...can someone lock you in from the outside?

From what I read on these pages, with a torch & a welder you can do anything you want.

Yea, fabbed extensions and even then it baaaarely fits.

Oh, the original topic. I parked my deuce alongside an F350 quad cab dually....looks like the front and rear axles just about line up......put the ford body onto the deuce frame and call it good? I dunno......

Make a 5-ton float? Thats gonna take alot of ice cream dude..............;<)

This is what the A3 wheels look like on the A2, rear hubs flipped, back tracks the front.

I've been running 100% mineral oil all summer with no issues. Since mineral oil is a "Newtonian fluid" (gets thicker when cold) I may cut it with diesel for the winter.

its better all around It rides better, steers easier (I don't understand the physics behind that but it does), and starting out in first gear is more pleasant. And I'm really really glad to be rid of the split rings. These tires have the beadlocks inside so it should be OK to air down in the...

Well, the last project was 32 days & nights out in the dirt. Logged lots n lots of low-range miles, pretty much tore up the skinny ND tires, though never got a flat. So I upgraded to the 14.5x20 radials on A3 wheels, less the central air stuff. The spare just fits with no room to spare, so to...

OK, more pix.

back 2 the future in the sense that it runs on waste products like Mr. Fusion 8<) Think of it as a remote Weather Station, yea, thats it, a storm chaser/ghost buster kinda deal ;<)

Well, I've been busy the last few months working with the 109 van. Its proven its worth thru the rainy season , lots of low range 6 wheel drive miles without getting stuck. I'v had to customize it some to meet the needs of the mission, sorry to the folks who like to keep the vehicles original...

I first registered mine as a Jeep van= $25.00. Then I learned of the big fines associated with not paying the weight fee. So I turned that tag in and paid WGT for 22,000 lbs = $274.00. Alex

An older truck with a speedo that reads both miles and klicks has had the speedo replaced. Alex

Hmm.....France had yellow lights.....Vietnam had yellow lights.....I went to a French/Vietnamese restaurant once.......some Vietnames guys at work speak French.....hey, didn't Vietnam used to be French-Indo-China? I dunno, I'm just glad that my English is more gooder than my geography. Alex
