Back in the day they were not required on RV's. BUT... If you had them installed they must be operational to not be ticketed and to pass inspections. Not sure on recent RV laws but I'm sure it varies by state.

Regarding the reliability and maintenance: These trucks are on par with a semi.. The operating costs, maintenance expense, tools all fall very near that of a big rig. If you want to know what it cost to run one, that's a good base line to research. Granted, most won't see that sort of...

Keith's build on here is one of the greats ! https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/keiths-m1078a1-project-overland.157294/

The issue with the M1079's is they aren't as common and when they do drop they fetch way more they they should (they get stupid expensive at auction these days). They do make great platforms, though. My inspiration, Seth's "Brutus": https://www.overlandbound.com/m1079-lmtv-build-profile/...

Speaking of little birds, this guy rocks

I saw a clip of one auto-rotating in. Fortunately, the pilot was sharp and put it down with no injuries. Found the clip. Mad skills. You can tell he thought about the road, but in an instand knew there was no joy:

I can see it now: Bonneville 200 club on the Salt Flats here I come!!!! Will need a little wing spoiler on the back and a cool scarf and helmet....because...reasons !

We do it a little different down in these parts. We do it a 'lil different down in these parts....

Yeah, that was all I did when I popped new ones on. One slid right out and the other took a few small taps. I put in new pins with the knobs.

I say you have about 2 two years. :)

I thought I had saved the front delete instructions, but I can't locate them. Was hoping they might show some insight into your issue. :(

Hmmmm I know that there is a procedure to delete the front towing air connections. And if down wrong....park brake won't release. Make me wonder if it's a similar problem. @Ronmar would know.

Still the only bulletproof answer in the thread. Store stuff elsewhere Leave urban death trap <putt-putt-putt> Live happily ever after bouncing on cheerleaders...

yeah, the little plastic bits wear quickly and are hard to source. The scalpers want a fortune for them and they simply wear out agian. I've tried a number of rod holder solutions. The A1R trucks changed to a metal clip (akin to the old-school carb rod clips that Chevy /Ford...

The % of water isn't really all that important. The clutches are coated in an asbestos-like material. The adhesive it's applied with is water soluble. It sadly doesn't take much to wipe the clutches clean of their traction resulting in slip. In the end, either the clutches got wet...

Sadly, I do. Never did determine how the water got in there (truck came that way). That brownish goo is the coating from the clutch packs in my case. Trans rebuild was more than the truck value (rebuild kit's are hard to locate and don't forget the t-case shares the same...

IMO, if a foreign power pops the USA with an EMP strike then the subsequent retaliatory actions will pretty much snowball. Unless you happen to own or can gain access to a silo or bunker, you're likely screwed. Forget the truck, keep that bunker stocked with cheerleaders ...

"Pause for Mrs Claus" is classic Alro as well as "Motorcycle Song". Let's get Santa Clause 'cause; Santa Clause has a red suit He's a communist And a beard, and long hair Must be a pacifist What's in the pipe that he's smoking?

Honestly, these days I appreciate his dad's music way more than Arlo's. Real old-school folk w/o the anti-war whining.

I had a friend here who married a guy from MI in the mid-70's. Dude played the guitar and did a great rendition of the song. It was the first time I'd ever heard it (I was more into hard rock than folk music). Had a lot a fun sitting around bon fires and singing that tune over the years...
