Thank you! It's a work in progress. Next modification I'd like to get is an air assist steering kit. I have one on my cargo truck, having one on this would help alot.

My better half the other night took this amazing shot of the m109a3 with no filters.

So the right front hub driving home was getting real hot. We decided to close the valves to the gladhands and drive it back without brakes. Truck did fine, after getting it home the trailer sat until a week ago. I got a m1061a1 tm at the hagarstown military show and decided it was time to...

In May 2021 I bought a m1061a1 trailer. I have wanted one for a while and Scrounger (steelsoldiers) had one for a great price. Needed TLC, finally had a chance to start working on it. One of my best friends helped me bring it home from Virginia with his 5 ton. The brake light cable was bad...

Here's a few more photos. The photos were taken with an iPhone so not the best but pretty impressive regardless.

Just got back from first camping trip for 2022 and my gf and I went to Cherry Springs State Park in PA. Only 1 of 2 international dark skies in the US. No visible light and no air pollution allow for the most beautiful night time photos of the milky way. Highly recommend to anyone that's into...

The outer seals where the key way is, is a new rockwell seal. I can't imagine that failed. Maybe it was the cork that gave way. I'll take it apart and see what the culprit is. It might be the cork. If so I'll replace with a piece of rubber and or some rtv. Thank you for the advice.

On one of my trucks last year I completed maintenance on one of my axles and reserviced with new seals, grease and bearings. Followed the tm specs to a T. I come out to start doing maintenance for the season and both inner axle seals I replaced are leaking. Theres 500 miles on these seals...

Yes there has been. Peashooters m109a3 build he re-skinned and insulated whole box and other people did spray foam insulation in their builds. Peashooter also put a heated floor in which helped with Temps above 50 degrees. Read about his build. He did way more manufacturing and design work...

Thank you! I am getting smokey out of hibernation and looking into making some changes for this year to the inside.

I bought my m109a3 from Jatonka and used the truck as a covid project in 2020. Has all the comforts of home, heat/ac, full size bed, portajon, a projector. Plans to add a generator and portable sink. Works well for camping on weekends or going mv shows and car shows. One of the nicest trucks...

I went with the air assist steering. It gives me redundancy should I lose the air assist I still have manual steering. With lockout hubs and g177s on my truck it's literally like having power steering. Makes a huge difference. To each their own.

Thank you, the build is documented on here if anyone wants to look at it more closely.

This is my 1971 M109a3 with my m105a2 & s250 shelter. Turned inside into a RV.

Thank you for the advice. I'll Def have it repaired.

Thanks Rhino, I appreciate your kind words. You can always build one in stages and as you go.

Tires are holding up great! When I don't use the truck I cover them with the rv covers to protect from dry rot. They are a heavier ply and the radial helps overall with steering. I think they are 10 ply vs the 8 ply with the ndts. The size I'm happy with. I am approx 8500lbs over a m35a2 with...

Anyone have any ideas as to things I can add? I purchased a m1061a1 trailer from Scrounger before he passed, God rest his soul, and I was thinking a about towing the m1061a1 with the s250 and having a small deck on the back of the trailer to sit on or store a utv or atv. I know the weight of...

Here's a photo of the inside. I added a projector and screen to the wall and run a blu ray player with a bose Bluetooth speaker and it rocks inside the box. I got a portajohn which works quite well and store the kurig, microwave and the fans below the cabinets. Didn't have anything fall while...

Truck in 3 days driving did 500 miles and didn't miss a beat. Very pleased with the trip. After getting home, today with my dad's help, installed the brand new radiator. Will send the old one out to be repaired and have a spare on hand. Also installed a new air compressor belt because there...
