That sounds like a heck of a job! I actually never knew what the bed came off of even though I've had an lmtv. I do know the flange trick will not work on a M105 bed because of fender clearance to the rear as far as a dual setup goes. I'm not sure about the A3 wheels I have made adapters and...
Making my 105 axle a dual tire setup. The trailer is a flat M35 bed, the frame is an M105 stretched to fit the bed. I always have to come up with some way to make a lathe. Maybe one day I'll get a real one....
Awesome truck to start with! Had to look it up. If you went with the 5th wheel or regular camper. You can build a rigid frame to put it on. Then attach it like the beds on military trucks using fast mounting points and points with springs, to allow frame flex. I do think you are correct in...
50 1/4" rear of bed to center of wheel arch. Tailgate adds 2 5/16" of thickness. Total bed length is 112" from frontmost top lip. Since I am all about hitches on everything I own... If you were to center a ball directly over the axle in the center of the m105 bed, 67 inches would be the...
I've always used bumperetts then used rubber bumpers on tail gate to catch the gate. The tailgate falls straight down then you don't risk it crashing into the hitch. But the gooseneck probably throws a wrench in that equation.
Sounds like you have a lot of ideas, and are willing to work hard to achieve them. Putting away $500 a week will allow you to build it however you'd like, if your planning to do they for 2-3 years. Most don't swap gassers into m35's but it would definitely still power the rig. And I'd be...
Hey Guys I spoke with microjeep this morning. He and I came up with a game plan to not step on each other's toes. I will honor his $225 price on the 5 kits folks have spoken for on this thread. I'm not 100% sure who they are micro is going to relay them to me I believe. I have the struts...
I forgot to mention I would like some feedback on what color to paint the kits. The one I installed on my truck is black but I considered painting them all some form of military green. What does everyone think?
Hey Guys I spoke with microjeep this morning. He and I came up with a game plan to not step on each other's toes. I have 22 kits that are nearly complete and plan to have at least that many more next week if the orders demand It. I have the struts BBQrod used and I think they are a little to...
This is going to be great! It should top a hill at whatever speed with whatever weight! And Wes your box is full I need some 1600s I texted you the other day give me a text back or a call when you can.
That is a great list! I agree about Whiteowl they are only a state away for me. If I order parts before noon I have them the next day, obviously not the case in Texas. George and the other guys that work there are a wealth of knowledge. I've often called and just asked a question, they take...
