I figured out a nice way to let the laws of gravity and the tire hoist help you with changing a tire off the rim. Perhaps I'll demonstrate it at the event if there's a spare tire in need of changing. I plan on being there. Just a hop, skip, and a jump for me.
If you got your CAD model from something like turbosquid you may have to resize the whole model. I've had two different models from them one of a Peterbilt and one of something else and all of them had been rescaled like 8% smaller or something like that
I have two of the filters as shown in the image up there with the y pipe. If that's the same kind that you're mentioning we only need one of then I'll sell my other one
Out of morbid curiosity I looked up the alternator cuz when I tried to click on the link it said malware attempt. It's still a $2,200 alternator! Nice work though
there is also this thing, but you would need a long wheelbase 6x6 FMTV or 5-ton for it:

I would say don't necessarily spend the money on the tool until you try it other ways. Mine came off actually stupid easy and I ended up not even really needing it. I had a standard two jaw puller that was a big one. I put two pieces of pipe around the ends and put those in the yoke holes, and...
Eastern surplus might have one or might not. Good luck getting a hold of them!

I think you're looking for unobtainium. You probably got better luck looking for an s280 shelter as Sean Filner (fastidious restomods YouTube channel) has on his., or make your own with a kit from https://rvglobetrekker.com/.
Nice image yeah I see that they supplemented the lack of a second frame rail with the plates. Even more reasons why the semi would be the best platform option for building a camper.
Yep I believe you are correct. But the second frame section you can mount anything and it's above the transmission it's also above the wheels. With my m1083 doing a flex test in the desert the wheels never go above the top of the second frame. So anything you mount to the second frame can be...
To that I would say the m1088 only has the lower frame not an upper frame. Think the only reason for the second frame for the versions with the bed or a box is to put it above the transmission and also to reduce any flex that would make its way to the bed. If I were going to do this again I...
