Looks awesome !!! That's one of the reasons I decided to stick with the ridged A1R cab mount. I miss the "cool factor" of the air ride cab, but I really want to have a crawl thru if only for emergency and for the dog to access the cab for overwatch at night). Retrofitting to air ride was...

The basic kit is just a red box that contains the (folding) emergency roadside triangle, a lug wrench, and a gladhand hose with a tire chuck on one end. That's the most intact kit that I've ever gotten on an M1078, but there could be more to it. The winch trucks gets a few other goodies, extra...

Isn't the basic kit shown in the TM somewhere?

Plus they are bulletproof like the rest of the truck.

Silly community member. Nothing is more expensive and valuable than surplus crap sold for 2000x what the government paid for it. THAT"S real value !!!!!!

I heard we'd have lost both wars in the sandbox had they not arrived just in the nick of time. But I really don't see the benefit down here on the beach. Perhaps if they doubled as a cigarette lighter of something... ;)

You realize that like a $500 per light option to upgrade to those, right? Good thing those $1000+ pair lights are totally rock-proof and never burn out (sarcasm). It makes for a VERY solid argument to stay with filament lights or HID....vs LED. Makes an even BETTER argument to MOVE TO WHERE...

I wish I could trouble shoot the issue. It's been going into fault since I've had the truck. And if kept running long enough, I can almost see a bit of haze in the hab. It doesn't set off any of my CO or smoke detectors but it's as if there is something being introduced in a very fine...

It was mostly vanlife hippies. LOL Seriously, it was a user group. And it was filled with good insight. But there were troubleshooting groups, several user groups, UK groups, all solely for the little diesel heaters. I'm sure at least one is vender-owned. The group I was a member of was...

I might be tempted to try them over dumping a foreign substance into the tire (and CTIS system). I've heard horror stories of antifreeze gumming up the works or airsoft pellet's melting due to oils getting into the air system, etc. I can only imagine the fun involved in tearing apart the...

If I trusted the Amazon reviews, I'd never purchase anything ever again. "1 star: box was damaged in shipping" "1 star: Item never arrived" "1 star: China maidz teh COVIDz" Hell, das uber-est-German Webasto units get just as CRAPPY reviews on Amazon. But I get the hesitation. The reason I...

Back when I was frequenting FB I was a member in a "Chinese Diesel Heater" group. Honestly, you might look into researching them. A LOT of van life people swear by them (and that's about the right size). I have a Hunter blast furnace in my M1079 and it's not only too loud but it cooks the hab...

CTIS armor covers. They're pure unobtainium. Thousands of sets were made for these trucks but most that ever made it to motor pools were tossed into the trash for some reason (I don't know that I've ever seen a government auction truck with a set actually installed). Some came thru surplus...

What's your total length there? I imagine that with a 50' trailer that's quite the train. I don't imagine you back trailers into a parking spot with that very often, though. :)

Actually started working on the truck again this week. Then it was 92 degrees so I had to go to the beach. Now it's in the 30's and Homey don't play in dat shitz... New shower pan is fitted and I have one minor adjustment left to the back wall piece. Once that's done I have one cabinet to...

I guess the chef and French maid might make it worth 1.75 million in some countries I could buy them a lot cheaper down here on the border, though.

Cool build on the outside. But that interior... What's the German word for vomit? Someone's taste is in their arse. https://www.thedrive.com/news/33457/the-action-mobil-desert-challenger-is-an-eight-wheeled-rv-based-on-a-missile-launcher

Here's the Red Dot part number: 4130-01-562-6391

It will have to be someone in the midst of collecting bits for the install. The guys here sitting on hundreds of these units do NOT want you to do what you're about to do. ;)

No offroad potential, but would make a very cool camper project.. https://www.commercialtrucktrader.com/listing/2007-Kenworth-T300-5017359014
