Any thoughts on this one? I really like the mk25 winch. Seems like a pretty new example with A/C. Assuming tires will still need replacement. Looks quite complete...

I plan on a different route. Since I have the habitat temp controlled with heat pump and diesel heater options, I plan to run ducking from the habitat to the cab. Using 1 or two fans to force air to vents in the turret cover, then the air recirculates through the pass though. I like the idea of...

Neat, didn't know that. I was unable to find a spec for how far to run the nut on. Right now I have the nut just past the end of the valve stem (maybe .05" of the valve stem protrudes).

From what I'm seeing recently, looks like $20k ish can get a running one in decent shape. Seems like a lot have "blow by" though. I wouldn't even mess with a non-runner as it could have a dead engine or transmission and who knows what else.

They are not. The angle of the hose is slightly different, the internal threads valve threads start at the end versus being inset, the external thread doesn't have the "cross" on the end, they have a slightly different black seal (I put NOS orange on). Smaller diameter protective hose. They...

Tried the first tire change, new valve stems and orings. Unfortunately after a few minutes test at 100psi, it started leaking. The seal (NOS) migrated and a gap formed. The seal was compressed appropriately (unlike the ones I'm taking off that have all been crushed to oblivion). But the...

Son of a.....I've wanted one of those!

My A1R has 4 in front and 5 in back (M1096)

I've got a couple ratchet straps and a rental spring compressor from AutoZone, all good to go! Okay obviously not, don't want to Chucky myself. First I'll just take the assembly off and measure differences in ride heights.

I wasn't talking about custom shocks or anything like that I merely mean removing the spring from the shock and putting the shock back on.

Noticing just how stiff the front end is over bumps and it's lack of articulation got me thinking. As far as I'm aware, the leaf springs are the same on the A1R A1 A0. A1R adds those large coils as well but for what benefit - some have said for the ability to carry armor in the future. Seems...

Little do my kids know....when they loose interest in the pool I will turn that into the new parking spot!

Changing some tires, replaced the drag link. Got myself an air hammer and it's my new favorite tool, popped the drag link tapers right out! Next to try it on those large torque rods....

Have an A1R version (so the newest with the Cat C7). Considering picking up an MTVR in the future as I'm seeing quite a few popping up on Govplanet. Are there any key reliability issues with the MTVR? I'm liking they can go 65mph max versus the 58 of fmtvs (unless eco hubs added). Seems like a...

Regardless of the level of insulation, given enough time anything can get extremely hot. The more insulation the longer the process takes. I have a 9kbtu mini split and it easily(less than 20% duty cycle) keeps the 20ft shipping container comfy during 90 degree temps in full sun.

What are you talking about the rims are 20" and the tires are 20"? Just a tiny bit of rubbing.

Picked up some new shoes

I wonder how well it would circulate through the secondary cooler on my mtv. There is that piece people were thinking was a bypass. Guessing I should drain from the return before it goes back into the tranny.

I've heard people doing this and running till it sputters(runs out of fluid). Then refill and run till you see fresh, then fill to appropriate level.

Link to technique? Does that include shifting through gears? Better option than drain plugs?
