We have a Texas title and registration; no parade plates. I sent my secretary to the courthouse with the previous title, bill of sale, dealer affidavit, U130 and a check: no issues in Kerr County. She came back with plates, the state mailed us the title. Our title lists — vehicle...

Not yet. The pedal feed runs up under the dash instrumentation panel, so I haven't pulled the connecting plug. My comment is based on the Williams Controls (Curtiss-Wright) publication downloaded from their website, (graph posted above). The control voltage to the ECM is clearly linear...

Good suggestion. I have been looking at throttle controllers. Interestingly, all are advertised to 'punch' acceleration and reduce throttle lag. Of course, my goal is to reduce pedal sensitivity especially at the low end. The Williams Controls WM-526 pedal in our truck has a linear (straight...

Thank you. I appreciate it. I was wondering if that might be the case. For our Jeeps you can purchase aftermarket throttle controls, that might be the way to go here, too—

Duh. I was stuck on your ABS comment. I found the Williams Controls WM-526 product PDF, though still looking for how to adjust the feed. I may just have to mess with it to self learn/find the best setting—

Is that likely than the system seeing different tire spin speeds? We did have opportunies for that when ledge climbing. Since this was the first time we had off road on technical trails my technique was less than optimal—

The ABS system activated while trying to double pedal up some ledges. While on the trails I was thinking about our older Jeeps and how we used the emergency brake levers to help control descents. Good ideas some one to contemplate. Perhaps @olly hondro I am thinking in our use case we will...

It looks like the M1079's fully loaded are 53%/47%. As we start moving the habitat plan from 2D to 3D shooting to distribute the weight similar to an M1079 sounds like the plan. All I know for sure now is that with an empty bed we were front heavy, not balanced. Not good off road–

You are up. Which ones are you looking to 'drop' in?

I haven't driven these in snow or ice as yet, though on sand and mud the AWD is not my choice. Something about the 30/70 does not feel solid. In MODE's 50/50 mix she powers through much more cofidently. There is more than the power band to high crawl ratios. I am not the type to rock crawl...

Absolutely. We noticed that too. That may be a reason to move the potable water toward the rear rather than keeping it close to the original center of mass—

Enjoy your build and godspeed—

I agree. Even running the factory CTIS on SAND in MODE we never lacked for power/torque; we ran out of traction over and over. Watch the video, traction is what slowed us down on climbing the ledges. Adding a rock to reduce the 90º vertical heights, we climbed right up. We did not find...

That may be, though the ledges would still be quite difficult to climb up and down even with the reductions. Traction was our only issue, not power. We had plenty of power. Our use case will include removing the bed (-2,800#) adding a torsion free frame and habitat (+4,000# loaded); adding...

I think OllyhondroM715 is doing just that?

@Ronmar thank you for confirming the braking air release. That is what I thought I noticed between Ted and I driving: He tap, tap, tapped the brakes while I tried to modulate them. It was difficult, though with practice I think I can become much better at it. Also, yes the Jeep in 4L is...

Perhaps not in trucks this large? Though in the Land Rover Series III trucks I have refurbished we used the slotted washers and bent over the washer edges to hold the axle nuts. The force to keep a properly installed axle nut is minimal. I am having a hard time believing a properly installed...

The crawl ratio for the 3.07's is better in first gear, though the braking is really only an issue when dropping off ledges. Even in our jeeps which have first 4L crawl ratios of 87:1 we are on the brakes dropping off the ledges. Here is a short video coming out from a camp about 40 km down...

NOTE: seeing this is a 1994 M1078A0, the images I posted for changing the PDP to 24v only feed and adding the Victron 24v-12v 70a leaves out a step or two needed on an A0 truck to accomplish this. @Ronmar has a video outlining the A0 steps on his you2b channel—
