Elijah, I just ordered one off ebay that looks just like that, but it has two sockets- a 33mm and a 32mm. $37.

I was kind of visualizing the process and thinking the same thing. Maybe a pair of regular 20-ton bottle jacks would be good...

Yeah, that's not happening...

What size socket am I going to be using on the lug nuts? My Snap-On stuff from when I was a technician, doesn't go that big.

I really appreciate the information sharing, with you guys getting me up to speed. I am beginning to see that I am going to be making a lot of trips to Harbor Freight...

What specifically is/are your favorite lug nut tool(s) to carry with you in the MTVR for roadside use, and why? I'm visualizing socket, breaker bar, and cheater bar, but would an air or electric impact wrench be a better solution on something of this size?

What did you ream the hole with?

Looks like the order has been cancelled, with no explanation...WTF?

Well, that's strange- I got an email confirmation of my order, and then a little later the seller refunded my money, with no explanation...

My MTVR did not come with a fire extinguisher, just a mangled bracket. I straightened the bracket, but does it take some standard-sized fore extinguisher that is readily available at a good price, or should I just buy one that comes with a bracket and replace the whole thing?

Who's "your guy", what did he scan them with, and what information "popped up"?

Removed the mount for the jerry can on the platform- We'll never use it, and it simply represented a tripping hazard up there.

So I had part of an idea- I notice that the plaque for the battery switch kind of calls attention to the fact that...it's the battery switch. So I picked up a spray can of that Plasti-Dip type stuff, and blacked it out. We still know what it is, how to use it, and how not to use it, but the...

Thanks, Wes. You run it off the truck's air system?

I'm thinking the 20 ton Harbor Freight one sounds fine to me...

Where is the bottle jack supposed to stow...under the passenger seat?

I'm inclined to take your advice on that, Elijah. Thank you.

Don't the air over oil ones have a manual handle too?

Will do. Thank you again.

I was somewhat fortunate in that my MTVR came with the flat steel jack base, wheel chocks, and the long threaded hold-down for them inside the passenger side steps... I do need a bottle jack. What would be a good choice (and a good value)? Can I power an air over oil one off of the truck?
