I read all the threads I could find about other people's encounter with this issue before starting a new thread. I'm trying to diagnose as much of the issue as possible remotely as I await approval of my EUC. I saw that with weak batteries it may crank, but not start. I noticed this pic of the...

I replaced the rear differential and brake lines in my 1986 AM General M998. Now it actually drives in "H", not just "HL", which I know is murder on the truck on high traction surfaces. The differential I took out was original to the truck, so I'm willing to accept 34 years and 87k miles as a...

Thank you sir.

Parting shots of "Boondoggle" before she finds a good home to an SS member in Pennsylvania. She's getting picked up today by a 3rd party. Here she is ready for transit. Bittersweet for sure. But I just purchased an M1078 plus an S280 and an M1082, so I'm upscaling this concept with all the...

Looks very "Mad Max" sans front grill; like the fan is a weapon... pretty cool. Impractical, but cool.

Nice camouflage shower cap

Thank you - and that's why I posted it. I had seen a couple S-250 builds elsewhere on the internet and, in my humble opinion, they were formulaic, uninspired, and didn't nearly tap into the potential for the platform. I think the S-250 offer the opportunity for the nicest, driest, most...

Excellent advice; much appreciated! I was looking on Amazon to buy both 4 & 5 pins in 12v & 24v. This advice saves me the needless expense. I will buy a handful of 5-pin relays in both voltages to take with me when I go to recover my 1078. Thanks!

If you indulge a link, the full build details from start to finish are laid out here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1102-gichner-s-250-comms-shelter-camper.197426/

Awesome; thanks. Not gonna lie; you caught me being slack. I had done a few searches, but work picked up pace and I thought I'd rely on the graces of others.

I am waiting to pick up my M-1078 and the inspection notes "some fuses and relays missing" 🤔 That is super helpful, and while I am waiting to be able to claim my truck, I want to wrap my head around what items are inoperable due to missing fuses. I have attached the picture from the auction...

Restored old jeep, restored obscure jeep variant, big truck, freaking armor, and an idiosyncratic military forklift... I give up. 😢

I ran the numbers; that math checks out.

Oh boy...

Is that an S-280, or a smaller shelter? :unsure:

:tank::not worthy: aua

The Ramim manufactured S-280s went for 2x as much money - maybe I caught a sweet spot in the auction cycle when people were snoozing, but they look identical to me: same specs.

I consider my S-250 / M-1102 build a success; so much so we bought a civilian camper and I'm selling my labor of love... :rolleyes: On to the next [dubious] project: M-1082 (LMTV Trailer) and S-280 Electrical Shelter. I won the shelter from Albany, GA for stupid cheap: perfect condition (as...

SMH :doh:

I too, found the posted weight curious; the S-280 empty supposedly only weighs around 1,500 lbs. I didn't see what I consider to be the equivalent weight of my M998 worth of shelving in there. It sucks, because I think it is going to skew transportation bids.
