I put a double-pole battery disconnect in the connections between my two (not four) batteries. It splits the wiring between the batteries and isolates them from each other. So I now have a 12v dual-output charger, one output to each battery, to keep them charged as if they are two independent...

Actually, I’m more looking for stakes and cargo side panels, but …could… use everything. My M1081 came with a slick bed, nothing in it. PM me…

Side questions relating to your removing your troop seats: Are you getting rid of the uprights? Also, I'm missing one of the plates in the bed of my M1081, that covers one of the parachute attachment fittings.

Well shoot, you should have sent a message. I could have brought Goliath and helped recover. Goliath has the Self Recovery Winch and I’ve got lots of extra toys that I’ve added to the inventory for recoveries. Good on you for self extricating!

Lake Lahontan, east of Reno and Carson City, has become so full that the beaches have disappeared. Which forces people to try to skirt the lake in deep soft powder-like sand. My M1081, “Goliath”, has no problems with those conditions, and so yesterday did my first recovery of the year. An “4wd”...

Thx to fly fish trailer, my girlfriend and I had a great drive through western Nevada, including a stop for lunch in Genoa, and the new trailer pulled like a dream. Finding parking was tricky…

It’s a lot different underneath an FMTV than what your video shows. Otherwise I’d do that.

Stream of oil seems to spray everywhere but straight down. Hence, need some mechanism to direct the oil flow

Tie rod, exhaust and leaf spring seems to be in the way. I didn’t try bucket though. thx for input.

DId you accidentally switch your lights to Blackout mode? That would kill those displays for certain, especially the transmission control panel.

Hotel room in Melbourne through Memorial Day, then back to Reno, NV where I live. New job, am here for orientation and training at company site. When are you headed through? that picture sure doesnt look like Florida…

Saw this today outside a window tint shop near Port Canaveral, FL. Best I could do for photo. Any claimants?

1: Welcome to the forum, nice rig! 2: I'm just a couple of hours east of you, off Hwy 50, there's things to do in the area! 3: Who's MME - I WANT some wheel covers!

I had that specific problem on my M1081: colder weather I'd have venting from behind the grille. There's another thread that describes how to test which chamber is leaking if it is truly the treadle leaking and not a park/trailer valve. The back-most section of the treadle is serviceable in the...
