I kinda figured it was something like that. I've owned three covers and none came with a pocket for a bar to weigh the lip down.

I've dragged the cover up onto the bed, then up to the roof of my house, then rolled it onto the frame. No, not fun...more like a challenge. Flipping it 180 isn't too horrid (the straps hanging down are a pain, though). But it's just a big heavy burrito at that point and not too hard to...

Normal on A1R kick panel.

Nice score on the camo net. I've been looking but when I find one they refuse to ship, etc.

As long as you stay off-road, they are legal in Texas. Just not legal on the pavement. *this is one of those things that isn't covered by reciprocity. Just because it's legal in another state, you can be cited for violation if you come to Texas with your headlights covered (ie: like getting...

Cool batteries.

btw: it's pretty common for transport to drain the fluids when they come in from some overseas locations. GP wouldn't likely be in that loop (more so the government).

No kidding. It's hot and sweaty down here in northern Mexico. First real cold front of the year pushed thru Monday (that ends our hurricane season here, sorry Florida). I had planned to jam on the truck while it was cooler but my brother popped down on short notice.

Yeah, once I get the walls up I can move all the crap I have piled up all over my house and get it back into the truck. I figure a couple of weeks and it should really be taking shape.

Had family come down for a week so taking a break. Did get most of the wall framing modules painted/sealed last week.

I have a Cooper Bussmann 21100E00 Battery Equalizer and a little NOCO.

Mine rocks at the subframe level. You've isolated the main frame, so.... ;p

True, but it adds up. If someone makes a drop-in manual controller in an enclosure that has just plugs into the cannon plug and turns on....for under $300 delivered...they should send me one for testing. :)

Yeah, the A0 was confirmed and in theory the Arduino would work in all variants of the FMTV. I was able to test and confirm that it worked with the A1R so it's 100% confirmed compatible with all now. The test went so well I decided to purchase the device. I might have saved a few bucks going...

I'd rock it as a permanent window. IMO, any functionally opening hatch you attempt to install up there is going to leak like the original turrets did so I'd stick to permanent and seal it good. I'd certainly add some form of sliding shade to keep the greenhouse effect down as much as possible...

My controller went 5-solid awhile back. I just installed my new Arduino controller from Plasa. Very plug-and--play. And it's quite simple to change the preset psi for each mode. I plan to do a proper review thread.

Interesting "ears" for the mirrors, too

Was the truck sitting up for an extended period? Have you hit the brakes with a hammer? I've encountered both LMTVs and M1082 trailers that had been sitting up and developed "stuck" brake shoes. A few smacks with the old 10lb sledge did the trick. Typically from being put away wet or hot and...

Another thing before you bend over for surplus replacement would be to check the wiring and connections. I've seen broken wires, wires pulled from connectors, chaffed wires, brittle/broken insulation, etc. At the very least do a CLOSE inspection of the connectors at the controller and at the...

Yeah, the 24v capable units are st00pid expensive now. Way cheaper to just get a 12v charger for each battery.
