Welcome to the forum. Lots to learn about them, and this is a great spot for it.

Felix is a great guy! We stood around and talked about all the people who try and pickup stuff and think they can just get in and drive it home.

Guess I need to update this. This is where she sits now.

Any update with this. I have been thinking about using a S-280 for my own camper project.

I got my rear curtain installed

Can you email link to what you bought. Thanks!

I need to do this once the truck is up and running.

Been an ongoing issue for a couple weeks now. Nothing new.. And to clarify, they're no longer issuing FL titles.

That is some great info Driller! The reason for wanting a S-280 shelter on top of my bed is that I could take it off and still use the bed when needing to haul stuff and if I trailer mount it I like the idea of leaving it somewhere when camping. Oxyacetylene do you have a way to lift your...

Let me know^^^^ This could work out!

Sounds like I would have to get some dimensions together to see if that's possible. I like the idea of having it separate from the truck and you could just unhook it. Another idea is to just mount the box on a civi trailer and it would have a lower center of gravity but the clearance is gone...

That's plan B so I still have my bed on the back of my truck. Is there a way to remove the bed on a M1082 and install the M1079 shelter. That would be super cool! Maybe I can convince someone who has a M1079 box to sell it, *wink Oxyacetylene wink*

I guess the question is how much higher it would sit compared to the M1079 bolted box. Weight wise they can't be too much different. The shelters look the same size, it would just be the added weight of also having the bed still bolted on my truck.

Does an FMTV and LMTV have different size beds? I thought the major difference was it had an intermediate axle like the one pictured?

This will help some. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148729-LMTV-and-Deep-Water-Fording

Thanks to the Denton show now I want a box on my truck. I like the M1079 platform but I want to keep my bed on and just put a shelter on it. Does anyone know what kind of shelter this is with the side door? Maybe a S-280?

So what's the issue? No trailer plate?

It's posted a couple pages back.

I saw it come up when in Denton and immediately prayed. Horrible accident!

Not worth much and it's huge. I'll give you $100 and will send someone to pick it up for me. It's got to be an eye sore for your neighbors and I'm happy to help.
