Awesome description. Mine had the same issue and this helped me debug to an issue with a wire going to K1! Thanks!

Wow, what a cool story! So amazing you guys were actually able to find the original owner.

Yup built the rack, bumper and did all the painting myself. Here is a better pic of where I bolted the winch mount to the round frame cross member. I didn't want to weld it so I could still remove the front bumper

It is steel plate, ¼" AR500 steel to be exact. I armored the front and inside of the cab with ¼" ar500 plate. Here is a better pic without the winch installed but after the plate and cab were painted with rhino liner. This pic is missing the center piece since we were doing wiring for the lights...

I use a sherpa stallion 24v 25klb winch, and I dont plan on needing it frequently, really for emergency use only. For my mounting I cut and welded the mount to the front bumper, then used my ½" plate with ¾" bolts through the frame tube just in front of the radiator. I didnt want to weld to...

Great truck and videos, thanks for sharing! Definitely an inspiration for my build and future explorations:)

Third From Texas and coachgeo - I definitely thought about that issue, but decided to give the bolsters a try since I really wanted the comfyness of the bolsters during normal driving. Luckily since the bolster is a separate piece of cover and not stitched to the rest of the seat I could always...

@Third From Texas - Good point. I thought about this when talking with the vendors on the seats, but ultimately decided I wanted to try the larger bolsters in the hopes it will be just more supportive and comfortable while in the seats and I would accept the more challenge of getting in an out...

Hi Everyone, thanks for the warm welcome! I am really excited for my first foray into MVs with this M1079. @mkcoen - Yes! they have a super cool build, and I have already taken some inspiration from them as well as a few others like the blissordie build. I just hope one day I can have a...

Also, anyone in Georgia feel free to reach out, would like to get to know more people local as well!

Hi Everyone, I finally have started the build of my m1079 expedition / SHTF vehicle and am so exited! I have spent a few months planning, CAD work, reading lots of info on this forum and thinking through the build, and it has begun:) I suppose first I need to explain the history of the truck...

Hi All, I have actually been a member for a while and have read so much awesome info over the past year or so, but finally got my M1079 in December! Im in Atlanta, GA and very excited about learning more as I progress through my expedition camper / SHTF vehicle build! Already making big mods, AC...
