I have not figured out the exact route as of yet, I also haven't posted where I am getting the truck from out of respect for the current owner. He didn't ask me to keep him out of it, I just felt it was right as we hadn't made a deal, and I didn't want to turn away any other potential buyers.

My original post "Hello All, I am in need of a little advice and expertise. If you are going to call me an idiot, there is a line. Simply type "Que", and I'll let you know when it is your turn :smile:" That's just the Wife ribbing me.... not even sure how she found me over here.... LOL

Thank you all for your thoughts and insight. I very much appreciate your time!!

That's good to know! What is used to measure this? Is there more information about this spec and how to confirm compliance?

It's really the best course of action, our goal is to make an expedition truck and live out of it. Constantly on the road, waking up somewhere new every day. I'd much rather be without wife and dog (read kid), and deal with the issues that want to present themselves early in the game. Can I...

I have read about your LMTV issues. I really appreciate you sharing what has happened as much as I feel for your troubles. It will have me checking the u-joint alignment before I leave. It is posts like yours that bring heartbreak and fear, yet you teach and inform. For that my friend, I...

good ideas! Thank you!!

Gallatin is just a wee bit out of the way, but your 1088 looks like it may have some spares I could use? :)

Thank you! Is there a good place to source some of the spares you have recommended? Preferably a vendor on SS? I also need to speak with you about A/C systems when the time comes!

Hello All, I am in need of a little advice and expertise. If you are going to call me an idiot, there is a line. Simply type "Que", and I'll let you know when it is your turn :) A few admissions.... I have never owned a diesel I have only driven a 6x6 once (it was a Mercedes Dakar support truck...

Hey simp5782... do you have a web page that shows your services and products? Thank you

Hi All, I have been reading up a bit on the A/C units for the FMTV, but I can't seem to find a complete ready to go kit. Is there such a thing? I am interested in the Gen2 version with all the parts necessary to fit it and get it running. Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for this info! I appreciate you spending the time to break it down for me. I just need more $$ now!

Hi All, I am looking for shipping quotes to have an S&S M1083 picked up near Nashville, TN and dropped off in San Diego, CA. Thanks in advance for any quotes! Scott

I am very inspired by your process and intend to embark on a similar path. Do you mind if I request a spoiler and enquire as to how you intend to construct your habitat? Composite panels, metal frame box like Duckworthe, or another? I am a metal fabricator by trade, but am fascinated by the...

I am very curious as to how you plan to extend the frame on the 1088 model. From the photos of the trucks I see, the rear frame tapers down, unlike the 1083 that is open in the back. Also, is your 1088 an A1? I will subscribe to your build thread as soon as I see it pop up! Very much looking...

What about what these guys did? This is from the "two if overland" blog

I think I want to do a 4 point sub-frame, so I'd like to extend the rails with material close to factory size and slip it into the factory rail as deep as possible. As soon as the moderators determine I am not a spammer and let me remove the training wheels, I'll post some pics of what I am...

I hope my previous responses get posted.... Thank you everyone!
