    No, you ain't 'sneaking' around anywhere in one of these trucks.

    Shelter/van body mounting options

    I saw one some months ago up at Lytle, TX. it just sold the other day. There have been about four out of their yard in the past year. https://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/5819790

    Shelter/van body mounting options

    Why not just get an s280 from GovPlanet, GovDeals, GSA, or PublicSurplus actuation sites? I can only imagine how much the <insert_point_of_compus_surplus_scalpers> would rape community members for a NOS 280. I've seen NOS float thru several of the auctions. While not cheap it's a small...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    People like you make the surplus scalpers cry. I like you.

    PULL OUT CAMPER STAIRCASE

    Heh Honestly, more than two people in a 12.5' box simply isn't a viable option so it's no family Winnebago. The M1079 is TINY compared to some of the "overland adventure truck" monstrosities out there. It fit's in a standard parking spot and while there are plenty of places it might not...

    Yeah, Ibis Tek made single, dual, and system controllers. Those you show there were the later design from Ibis Tek if I'm not mistaken. The searchlights are more of a "GoLight" type housing design there (with a removable shield and I think larger light). I love the look of the controller...

    Or just make sure you're not running your offroad-only lights while on the road. ;) I have a pair of those Ibis Teks as well. I do recall reading somewhere that by default the IR come on and you have to manually activate the visible spot by default (it's done this way so as to not give...

    PULL OUT CAMPER STAIRCASE

    Businessman is standing in a hotel lobby. The most beautiful and elegant woman walks by and he says : "Excuse me. I know this will sound odd but will you come up to my room and have sex with me for a million dollars?" The woman thinks a second, then asks if he is serious. He says that he...

    Oh I totally appreciate the value of NV. I just think it's somewhat retarded to drive around with the lights out wearing NVG in any civilian vehicle (on or off road).

    PULL OUT CAMPER STAIRCASE

    Yeah, they had so many people ask to buy it over the years they were originally asking like $350K just to shut them up. As the saying goes "everything is for sale, it's just matter of negotiation now"

    And if you have a backup camera display in the cab, I bet it sees things that those lights don't make out in detail. I'd say make good use of that before spending several grand on surplus NGV. Plus can you imagine trying to talk your way out of a ticket for driving while wearing NVG? "What's...

    night vision driving inexpensively to your offroad camp spot... Lanmodo

    Yep, that's my point exactly. WE ARE NOT IN COMBAT So there is zero need for combat NVG while driving a 30,000 lb truck in the civilian world. As far as the NVG topic itself, not sure why it's really in a camper build thread to begin with but...OK.

    You driving around on your property/the beach/a trail at night and someone is shooting at you? Did they see you or just hear the truck ? We're not really discussing combat use here if I'm not mistaken. I doubt GeoPen is signing up/re-enlisting. And if he does, they will give him a free...

    night vision driving inexpensively to your offroad camp spot... Lanmodo

    Again, I'm not talking about running in a blackout situation. But as I said, no one needs to outside of combat, LEO, or criminal operations? If it ain't the Boogaloo, if you ain't LEO, or if you're not running cartel products across the desert than it's a bit nonsensical, IMO. In fact, I...

    night vision driving inexpensively to your offroad camp spot... Lanmodo

    IMO, if you're not stealthing about at night (and you sure as hell won't be sneaking up on someone in your LMTV) then there are a lot of viable display options for any old little backup camera w NV (ie: most all of them). Put a really strong illuminator on the front of the truck and a...

    I watched it until it got above the $20's.... The thing needed a lot of work and had a bad clutch/trans issues.
