This is what I use (at home and on the road). It has worked flawlessly for me thru three trucks https://www.harborfreight.com/automotive/jacks-jack-stands/bottle-jacks/air-hydraulic/20-ton-airhydraulic-bottle-jack-59426.html

First, has Neil mentioned somewhere that he's removing the bed. Because I've not heard him say anything in regards to this. If you're saying that the bed or any sort of sub-chassis is absolutely required, I tend to believe that may not always be the case with the S&S LMTV. One of the...

I don't know why he would remove the bed. Just more work and money building a subframe where none is needed. That is his new truck pictured, btw

Well by "straight" I meant not pointed down at a 45 degree angle like the A0 trucks. ;) *I sometimes exaggerate

You should check out Neil's build. One of my favorites... He too retained the bed so the truck is still multi-role. Used a S280 and set it up so he can drive it on/off.

Just my two cents: As mentioned above, do you want the 4x4 or the 6x6 chassis? That's the bottom line here, IMO. The M1078 A1R w/C7 "should" have the upgraded rear dif that lets the drive shaft connect pretty much straight back. So will the 6x6 (any model). But the M1078 A0 with...

I was about to leave to ferry a yacht form TX to FL. A really sweet Gulfstar Sailmaster 50. A few days before the trip, the first mate who lived on the boat came down with with this really ugly rash. Turned out to be impetigo with a side dose of scabies. Poor dude was covered with...

Nice work. Yeah, if you look to the 3116/3126/C7 in civilian applications you will see a/c compressors mounted on the passenger side. I don't know that I've ever seen a non-military setup that used the driver's side.

Reminds of the old cure for crabs. Razor blade Lighter fluid Ice pick Step one: Shave one side of pubes with razor Step two: Pour lighter fluid on the unshaved side and ignite Step three: As crabs run to shaved side, stab with ice pick

Always been a fan. Rock rings = any fab shop w/a plasma cutter The standoffs are easy.

You can find them all over the web for around $70 NOS Honestly, with a good relay you can drop in just about any headlight switch (assuming that you don't use the blackout IR lights to hunt for fires in the dark). The military switches are tough, but not without their issues and not...

Yeah, he confirmed that fan is working to spec.

OK, looks like you've only covered the six slots on the lower bumper. It's possible. Airflow can be funny. If that is the culprit, you should be able to come up with a solution to ram a little air over and down behind that winch mount or something.

Spent a lot of winters in Durango way back in the day. Most of my old haunts and the people I knew are long gone. Miss that place... Never had my 3116 on a grade at any alt but I imagine it should handle it w/o to much overheating. I take it your fan is kicking in at ~200 degrees...

I want one of them fancy green campers with the grabby arm on the side in case my dates try to escape... "Oh no you don't. Get back here !"

Anyone have experience with RVv roof coating products? At some point soon I'll be re-gasketing all my markers and I want to spray (or get sprayed) the cab and hab rooftops. There's a couple big RV places around here and I think there's a bedliner shop that does RV roofs.

Agreed. I've seen plenty of new owners asking about info all the time who totally missed the placard. I'm still finding things on my truck that I did know existed. LOL

Congrats ! Yeah, the data plate located below the driver dash panel will tell you the year S&S made it (the font on the plate can even tell if it went back thru refit for BAE). Take a pic. These trucks are super low gear and the shift points are crazy low. I do suggest reading the...

Hmm, the only popup I get is the one that says "Hey turn off that add blocker". ;p
