I left my m818 in the front yard to watch over my girls while I'm away from home all week.
My neighbors love me haha.

Upholstered all the seats for 15 bucks. Just under 3 yards of material from Joan Fabrics and was on sale.
FYI the driver seat need self tapping screws.

Replaced the fuel filter 2 days ago on +ZEUS+ and after attempting to purge air in the fuel system (loose bolt on filter canister), I finally got him going, a big difference in how he idles and runs now. So I finally installed my step mod! WOW, I can enter and exit him without crippling my decrepit, old, 58 year old body!!!

Patracy how was it sitting in front of the front wheels? Did turning feel weird?

It takes some getting used to. You have to swing wide, then steer fast and soon.

Wonder how it will ride with a trailer. I know my M931a2 rides so much better with a little weight.

I suspect it will ride much better with a trailer. That's also why I'm looking for (and have found) a M105 trailer to make into a bed module. I'm also looking for a 5th wheel wrecker. Since when it comes to my trailers, I'll only be pulling them when I'm camping or if I had some large item to transport on the 871.

Where did you get the flashlight holder? Would it be possible to mount one sideways so the light could be pointed at the dash to make nighttime starting easier?

I did the first thing on my 5-ton, acquiring it. I'm now the proud owner of a 1984 M923.

thanks. The extinguisher came with the truck. I'm putting another one on it behind the cab. My truck is a M923 Marine. So, it came with the fording kit, lockers and set up for hydraulic winch

I got it from the ACE hardware store.
You can put 2 sideways/horizontal. But, it would be better to just wire a dome light.

A dome light probably would be better. I just need to come up with one that I can connect without having to drill into the hardtop and make even more cab leaks than I have already. I think I might try to find some of those holders anyway even if they just end up mounted in the garage. Thanks for the ideas!
