Another option is one made using an Arduino mini-PC kit. There's a member here who makes them and they've gotten some pretty great reviews. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/ctis-and-arduino.181972/post-2299279

Even w/o airbags I've seen people get messed up that way, but yeah...

Yep Violently

They go into detail about making an internal vented locker for the tank. Not a way I would ever go but it's not all that uncommon in van builds. They even cover venting from altitude change and overfilling. Again it's the concept of the site (parts list, and interactive features of...

Those little water heaters are not meant for a permanent install. I looked at them but shied way due to the lack of external vent for heat dispersal. They have to be used in an open space, and yeah a gas leak would be big fun.

The 5-ton trucks have always had the correct driveshaft angle and pinion. The A1R was the first of the LMTV line to get the correction. Don't you have one set aside for your build?

The early and most common trucks with 3116 and mechanical injection were A0 variant. Later the 3126 was added with electronic injection for the A1 model. Many got LED light upgrades and some other changes S&S made based on feedback. A scant few of the later A1 trucks saw C7 engines. and...

I'll give these guys credit, they did a nice job with the info. The site is a little rough to surf (I'd have never seen these if not for catching a link in a random search for something). While it's a smaller vanlife application, much of what they present can be applied to larger builds...

Seems the witnesses weren't available to testify....

I thought you found some "before" pictures. LOL

Videos or it never happened. ;p There are actually a couple owners here with LMTV drifting videos.

<Clint Eastwood voice> "The last time a guy asked me if the truck was bulletproof I said no, shot him thru the door, and drove away." ;p

Seth has a video of that actually happening with Brutus. They brushed against/crushed a log or something and tore off the valve if I recall. I've got covers on my truck and I've had some nice scrapes on them so I know they are working. :)

Yeah, but it's got the ever elusive driver-side antenna mount. Last time I saw one of those on <insert_point_of_compass_surplus_scalper_here> website they were selling for $75K just for the bracket! Totally worth it. Supply and demand, ya know....

Had a little back injury back in Nov. It'll be OK if I'd just stay off my feet for a few days. But that ain't gonna happen. So here I am a month later. lol

Heh When we went to Hooks to recover a M1082 trailer, they gave gave us a crappy printed map, opened the gate, and said to follow the signs. Of course, many of the signs were missing or down. And a couple of the turns were not clear. So after an hour of driving the M1079 ALL OVER and...

The question to ask is can a new later-model controller work with an older model truck (I suspect we're seeing the answer here with your results, but you should be able to look back to various threads). You're not the first A0 owner to be sold an incompatible, later-model controller. The...

Funny. I ordered a set last night and they arrived today. I was like...whaaaat? Then I saw they were just down the coast from me. LOL
