The first step is to admit you have a problem...

Well, I just drove the latest truck 360 some odd miles home the other day.
M109A1 is the latest to join the herd.
The others are;
1969 Kaiser M35A2 - full cargo top
1971 AM General M35A2 - cab top, has cargo top, and I just got the cargo bows!
1971 AM General M35A2 - no tops yet

Keep the faith Hammer, you'll be ok.

Problem, I wouldn't call it a problem. (although my wife would). Nice collection.

 

[Hammer]

Oh it's a problem all right!
The problem is I don't have a 5 ton yet.
I don't have a wrecker yet.
I need some trailers!

And the last few times at the lot, I have been drooling over the M900 series trucks just sitting there!!!!

Personally I don't think the 12 step program means you have 12 of them, I think it means you have 12 DIFFERENT types of them
So in that regard, my problem is that I only have completed 2 of the 12 steps...

I understand the data plate might say M109a1, butI think with a multifuel, its is technicaly an a3. Anyone else?

In the pic with the metal building it almost loks like a little military base. Nice set up wish you luck with it.

I don't have a problem......well I do really.Not enough money.....but I can quit any time I want.....ooow,look at that nice truck on GL........BRB.......

I was figuring it was updated to the A2 status with the exhaust and bigger engine.
It still has the electric horn, sprag transfer case though.
Not sure what else were considered upgrades that would denote what level this truck is at.

Either way, with the newer motor, this truck moves along well considering it's over 15k lbs empty and 13' tall!

 

[Hammer]

Oh yeah, I DO have a problem.
NONE of these trucks have a winch!

 

[gimpyrobb]

I can fix that too!

 

[neilhendrix]

I really think it`s a GREAT problem to have

 

[Offroadfabworks]

I really think it`s a GREAT problem to have

so do Credit Card companies

 

[FreightTrain]

ehhh,American General in my case.I get a loan,and use my Check card for all my GL purchases.Hee hee hee.Cheaper Interest and better payment plan.

 

[Hammer]

No credit cards (I used my bank card, so no credit involved).
But I did end up spending the money saved up for doing some work around the place for winter.
I sure hope it doesn't get TOO cold this winter

I see that yours came with the a/c unit attached. Take a good look at the roof and along the inside bottom of the box to see if you have any leaks/rust issues. Time to start painting the rocks so your motor pool looks correct. I need somewhere to park more stuff.......

I can quit anytime I want to.

 

[Hammer]

Started 11 years ago with my first M715. Just a good time lately to get some bigger OD Iron

The A/C unit has a space below it. They had duck taped some slats below the unit to block the weather out.
Believe it or not, it is in good shape around that. But I haven't given it a FULL inspection yet.
The first step was cleaning that bugger out!

 

[randyscycle]

The only problem I see here is the choice of which one to drive when you head out in the morning......

Nice (growing) collection, Hammer!

 

[Hammer]

Choices are easily made though.
The 69 is my wife's truck (will be restored for parades, club meetings, etc.)
The 109 will be my dad's radio shack (Ham radios, etc).
I will be selling the one without a top soon.
And the one with a cab top only is mine.

So, I get to drive MY truck when I want
