CARA is a 1998 M1079. She doesn’t have a tachometer. Is there a way to add one?

I might have to look into them

The arms and the mirrors move. I like the idea of an additional support strut.

The steering wheel on my M1079 has about a 20 degree roataion to it as I drive straight. The truck drives well, just steering wheel rotated. Any suggestions on how to align the monster front end? The mirrors are constantly being blown into different positions rendering them useless. What have...

Is there anything on the truck that requies 12v?
