    Third's Build Discussion

    My nephew had given me the kitchen (counter, sink, stove, Dometic fridge) out of his little camper he remodeled. While practically new, the plastic sink just wasn't doing it for me. Too small to wash more than your hands, plastic, and it was an odd shade of pewter. Out with the old and in...

    Well, I stuck my head outside and didn't see my shadow so Spring is here. And so are the Spring Break chickees! I got that out of my system so now it's time to get back to work...(unless I go back out tomorrow). LOL Did my materials list for the passenger side of the habitat this evening...

    LMTV M1079 M1078 ARB air locker group buy, we need 50 of you to make this happen.

    I never stuck my M1078. And believe me, I tried. But I've had to dig my M1079 out three times so far. In each case it was simply a matter of the AWD not being, well all wheel drive. In each case, had two wheels on either axel been turning I would have never stuck it. *this all being in soft...

    Alternator tensioner pulley replacement for M1078

    Now that it's all put back together and running, did you happen to inspect the fan clutch? The older versions tend to fail and send the fan thru the radiator. The mod was done by the military to a lot of these trucks, but not all. My first LMTV had suffered the fan failure when the previous...

    Agreed. Honestly if I really wanted real 4x4, e-lockers, disc brakes, highway gears, Cummins power, etc I would simply change platforms. :)

    Those should be $250/pr at the very least in this community!

    What Stupid Looks Like.....Every time I say "I'll never win this"....

    Those things were $7000 back when they came out (early-mid 2000's). You should be able to test all the actuators. As far as I know, BlueTiger is out of the sim business, but you might still find the software from the community. If not, there are some open source motion rig software packages...

    The nerd in me approves. That would go well in my gaming/sim pit. ;)

    M1088 camper conversion

    It's been done that way (well, with accordion boots not a compression collar). And while it's a very limited location and size (see last pic below), you can create a crawl-thru w/o deleting the spare or air cleaner.

    Interesting.. I'd never given any thought to swapping the capture springs to the back.

    Rgr all. As you said once, we all have variations of time and money. I'm retired on a fixed income, but have plenty of time.

    The clear ones are merely the old ones with some cutouts and plexi attached. So if you have your stock A0 deflector....

    Not surprising. Yet the exact same components in the civilian unit are half that even today (at FULL retail). https://cabcomfortdirect.com/collections/red-dot-ac-units/products/red-dot-24-volt-back-wall-ac-system-2

    M1088 camper conversion

    I spoke with these guys a few years ago. Their prices have gone up a little but not much. But price depends on the width of the boot as well as the tunnel circumference): https://www.accordionboot.com/ I was thinking of mounting the pass thru tunnel to the frame, then booting each end...

    Ah, I forgot about the bottle jack. I upgraded mine to a 20 ton HF pneumatic (overkill). I'm lazy like that. https://www.harborfreight.com/20-ton-air-over-hydraulic-jack-95553.html
