Yep, we know his work with the A0 trucks. Very slick and can be easily recalibrated for various psi on each setting.

I maybe just have a good nose, but I can smell the ether the scant few times I've ever tested a truck. I don't know if there is a way to see if the bottle is full. What's the TM say? *edit: I see you have a fresh can so n/m

Well, I've seen a few civilian ambo boxes put on trailers (way better than just cutting off the ambo cab and adding a tongue).. ;) I think it would work fine.

Not sure what's to discuss. The sprung separation is between the box sub and the upper of the two frames on the truck. A gap is expected as the weight of it all rests on the capture points. It could be a faction of an inch or as much as the spring releases when stretched...

I have a strict "don't ask don't tell" policy when it comes to such legalities as CDLs. And as to brakes, couldn't you just cage 'em and not use the air brakes. ;) *not like I've really done that several times but I have a Jake brake

Today I learned trailers sometimes have ABS lamps. Must be a California requirement.. LOL

Also, I'd make the straps a few inches longer if you do make your own. I know you guys want only 100% OEM but I add a few inches of (removable) height to my frames by inserting a 2" collar/spacer. A few inches make a HUGE difference (I've seen guys go taller by making extensions for each...

Any leather, shoe, canvas, tarp sewing place can make them. If you know anyone with a heavy-duty sewing machine, there's not much stitching involved and the D-rings are commonly found all over the place.

I may eventually (it will be post-build though, as time for travels nears). I figure that if I'm tearing it down for one, then I may as well do the other while in there. I do a lot of sand driving and lockers have been sorely missed a few times.

I have his number :)

If it's one of the 5-ton trucks from the GSA auction, those were nice clean trucks. Late model with low miles. They were test platforms used by Northrop Grumman in AZ if it's what I think it is...

So back to the OP, will they fit in an A1R?

Like some kinda limited slip thing?

And of course even if it was to work....will it work on A0? A1? A1R? Different Spicer CTIS controllers use different protocells from what I gather. I can't slap an A0 controller in my A1R and visa-versa...

I had one in my first truck. Took it off. Heavy-duty metal and dangerously close to the glass......

(wait, since when were the 90's "retro"?)

Same here

Others have made it work somehow. But if all else fails, get keyless handles for your power locks?

Tell him to get four additional flat bows (either fab them or buy them). Totally worth it to not have the canvas top sagged halfway to the bed after a rain storm. And find a way (zipties is what I use) to keep the bows from sliding fore/aft.

*it's rigged ;p
