I hate the A1R bumper, btw: :)

Oh it's a two man lift for sure. The A1R had a lot of material removed and the area at the shackles elevated (seemingly to make it easier to access the shackles but from my experience the shackles are easier to put on the A0 version). By opening up the shackle area and leaving the back open...

Hmmmmmmmmmm The bumpers on these things are pretty cheesy. Its likely that the bumpers/bumperettes are intended to bend and take any damage as opposed to telegraphing it to the frame. We've all seen countless bent bumpers on these trucks (especially on the gimpy weak A1R bumpers that have had...

I think that's because the cab would crush the privates toes if said private were standing on the bumper while raising the cab (and don't think some didn't try)... ;)

One of those Teledyne firetrucks with the big wet-t-shirt sprayer up front comes to mind.

And *if* you do mount it on the cab, given the size of your rig you would be required by DOT to add at least one more to the habitat (tail gunner configuration). Maybe automate them with motion activated tracking, etc. Then there is the whole matter of explaining to the cops that the guns...

To each his own. I'd likely pass due to the leak factor (I've heard they are like a sieve). I do have some plans for the cab, but non include inducing more water into the equation. Buy it, flip it, if the price is right. Or better yet, get a second truck and build a gun truck !!!!

Which is more than I paid for my M1079 A1R w/260a alt...

One thing you might look into is the spacing of the frame member studs. I don't know what the centers are on the S250 but if you can avoid having to cut into the frame members you preserve the structural integrity of the box. I downsized my fridge vent/access panel a bit so I wouldn't have to...

I installed something like that down in the bunker. It seemed to help with losses. The "guests" down there seem much happier now.

Looking forward to seeing the build. I've seen a couple S250's done up nicely. It's a great little platform.

Looking sharp. My cab has to wait until I finish the habitat. What subs are those?

Got the wall standoffs cut and mocked up. Still need to do the rivnuts behind it, then drop my electrical outlets, and finally pull it all apart for paint. Had to use 15" centers 9opposed to the standard 16"). All three sections I had to make were 90" so it was just easier to bring the studs...

Not that I've seen. UK eBay had some last time I looked.

I like the idea of an automated step that comes down when the door opens. But at the end of the day, it becomes another moving part to break off-roading. I guess it'd viability/longevity would be based on truck use. From an engineering standpoint, I'd likely just have a flat step that sits...

SPICER made 1 and 2 channel PCUs but that's about as far as I've been able to come up with.

Yeah, I'd love to find the actual schematic for the A1R controller. I swear I read that one version was compatible with all, but the other only worked with the intended truck. It was all second-hand discussion if I recall. I also seem to recall one seller warning a purchaser that the one he...

Here's the A1R cannon connection and model number as per your msg. I'm 99.99% sure that it's the same connector as the A0 and A1 trucks use.

I'm going too start with what's pre-run. There were 120v and 208v outlets as well as 24v. It's all singles made up into runs, and I have a number of rolls of 12 and 14 single. I figure between what I have on hand and what I gut from existing, I'm covered. And a buddy game me a couple 50'...

I've seen steps that fold down. Just another thing to do to get into or out of the truck. I've seen the cable replaced with motorcycle drive chain. Nothing I would consider an upgrade
