I just browsed through the Abenteuer & Allrad gallery. This Steyr 12M18 is sweet. I've always liked the Steyr. Before we decided on our M1078, we test drove a Steyr 12M18 from Origon. The Steyr is very nice and in many ways more "refined" than a LMTV, but they are expensive (a rough surplus...

It wouldn't surprise me if it was contamination. Last weekend we removed the suspension squat actuator hydro system on ours, and when we drained the fluid from the hoses, it looked really milky. After a while, the rate orifices might not do well with funky fluid. I hope you get yours working...

I think Blissmobil makes modular house "boxes" that mount like a sea container at the corners. We are in the process of designing our own module now. We can’t afford a purchased one, so we will be building it ourselves. It lets us get exactly what we want also. Michael

I just got the dimensions from the seller. My shaft is: P/N 483-49-050-145 Length: 29.75 in (center-to-center collapsed) Tube OD: 4.0 in New Shaft: P/N 983-92-49-496 Length: 29.5 in (center-to-center collapsed with length of plastic cover subtracted) Tube OD: 3.75 in They seem very...

That’s what I was thinking last night, too, but this morning, looking at the full sized image, it looks like there is a little plastic cover over the shaft that makes it look larger. Thanks, Michael

I spent some time looking for a replacement NOS FWD driveshaft assembly. I looked at TM 9-2320-365-24P, 131-1 and the FWD driveshaft is listed as P/N 483-49-050-145. I sent out inquiries to a number of shops and suppliers. I got several replies back saying that P/N 483-49-050-145 has been...

Thanks for all the input guys. It would be awesome if I could just take it to a reliable shop and get it rebuilt, but I really worry that they wouldn't do it right. It would be a real bummer if it wasn't done right, and it came apart on the highway sometime. I've been looking around for a NOS...

We did the driveshaft hinging inspection tonight per TM 9-2320-365-20-3. -AFT driveshaft hinging play was 0.007 in -Forward driveshaft hinging play was 0.037 in The TM has the max limit as 0.020 in. Anyone know the best place to get a new FWD driveshaft assembly? Thanks, Michael

Wow, awesome info. Thanks for posting that.

The u-joints all feel nice and tight. The bearings on the differential and the transfer case all feel good too. Its vertical play in the driveshaft from slop in the splines that allow the driveshaft to change length with suspension travel. I need to take one of my dial indicator to the truck...

Someone on the forum came by and picked up the truck bed on Friday. They picked it up with their M931A2, so it was nice to check out another MV. It was a cool truck. Thanks guys! It was very nice to meet you. I hope it works well for your project. I haven't been posting much, but my wife and...

Weighing it would be interesting, but we have it a bit torn apart right now. I'm not sure how I would get it to a truck scale. We've been removing little things from it that we don't need like the lift beams, and the suspension squat system. It would be interesting to know what it weights...

Thanks for the clarification Juskatla. I read a bunch of info in the link you posted. I looks like we will likely do fine going through with the truck, but I'll continue to read up about it. Thanks, Michael

Thanks for posting more photos. The bike looks great on the back. Michael

I agree with you Suprman. It's a pretty good setup from the beginning. I think the gearing is even fine. The air-box is a minor issue. I think it's fine where it is, but I also think it's likely acceptable to move it if one wants. I test drove a Steyr and looked at Mogs and FUSO. It's hard...

Thanks for all the info pkl2fly. I will probably be contacting you about a number of topics. Thanks Michael

coachgeo, I sent you a PM regarding driveline maintenance. I'd rather keep that offline. Michael

The bed structure is steel. The drop sides are aluminum. Some of the seat structure is fiberglass. Michael

I'll have to pull it apart and take a look. They probably did some kind of flow conditioning prior to the air entering the vortex tube bank. I think the vortex tube bank can take ambient air directly without any flow conditioning (like the inertial particle separators on helicopter and...

I would love to have our camper as far forward as possible and make use of that air cleaner volume, but personalty I'm not a fan of moving the air cleaner. I think it's a good cleaner assembly, so we are planning to leave it where it is. Donaldson Inertial Particle Separation Technology...
