If the broken one isn't too old, you can always use it as a pocket PC. I have one that does nothing but music in my shop and run my engine tuning software, and another that I may use as a built-in PC for inside the habitat or cab. I've used them in flight simulator builds, all kinds of stuff...

Nice indeed. I have my eye on a few as alternate bug out rides in case shtf. Of course, they aren't mine. :)

Bummer, but all that data is still on there. Plug it into a regular monitor via HDMI cable. You can still see what's on it. Then back up what you need onto a thumb drive or a backup hard drive.

Maybe, but the best boat is someone else's. ;)

Maintenance costs are also like any other big class-8 commercial truck (and then some).

Yep. As Awesome said M1079's are somewhat common (not nearly as common as a the troop bed trucks like the M1078). You can likely forget about an M1087. They are extremely rare (I only personally know of two in civilian hands, "Bantha" and one owned by Texas High Water Rescue). *and out there...

So, like an LMTV just not on land? ;)

Ah, rgr all. I just remembered my first truck's original radiator had been "airyated" when the fan fragged. :).

...or it launches thru the radiator. :)

I agree with your cost and distance logic here. Keep in mind, fuel and fuel taxes are going to quadruple now (and you poor bastards out there in CA already paid too much for a $1.25 worth of diesel fuel). The issue is "California is the Model for the Nation" according to the incoming...

God says Texas should secede. And we're gonna. :)

I have. I put a set on my M1082 trailer. Haven't really had much chance to test them out, but I will say find a brand with *true* white. The RGB ones only cast yellow and it's just not as bright as it should be for some reason. The truck will get something with nice bright white (dimmable...

Interesting concept. I'd not thought of using both.

Pretty much exactly how it's done in Texas for an FMV registration.

The problem you mention is a real one. GP is *NOT* a "dealership" and thus cannot legally do the title re-assignment that the include with the SF97. Some states (and even some clerks) overlook it. In Texas, the county clerks all have GP "red flagged" on their list. There is a very specific...

Your water and waste tanks going to be internal?

Yep. Moved to Montana. Became a dental floss tycoon. He posts some awesome truck porn still. :)

Getting into the gritty bit now. Exciting !
