What rear view cameras have you guys been using? And are you happy with them? I bought one on Amazon that had good reviews but it was garbage. Grainy, distorted picture, junk mounting brackets, etc. I want too install one that stays on all the time to not only use when backing up but to serve as...

I considered doing the same thing because 120v AC units are fairly inexpensive but once I started looking at power inverters that would handle the amp draw from the AC unit it started getting expensive and rivaling the cost of the OE-type unit. What inverter did you end up using? How well does...

Great looking dash!

That is awesome.

I have been considering the same thing. Where did you acquire the patterns if you don't mind me asking?

3/4" A500 will stop the .50 BMG. You can get away with 3/8" AR500 for just about any 30 caliber round. I make AR500 targets and our 3/8" targets last 10k+ rounds shooting 5.56 and 308. One thing to keep in mind is that you don't want to heat it excessively so that means no welding. It needs to...

Well that doesn't sound like any fun at all. What does that whole assembly weigh? I don't really want to get into the reduction unit either and will probably just do the same...

Great news, thanks! Contacted him and buying 2 of them asap. The rear sounds pretty straightforward. Anything particular I need to know about doing the front diff? Thanks again.

Where did you end up finding center sections/gears?

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I buy a decent amount of round and square tubing fairly often and usually have to pull a trailer behind my Sierra to get it home. I was thinking of using the old slots from the spreader bars and lifting eyes to hold a removable or slide out tubing rack...

Please update us on your A/C install. I almost have everything to do mine. It is just too hot down here to not have it.

For whatever reason my headlights randomly decide to not work every once in a while. When this happens I just switch out the high beam relay and low beam relay and everything works again. Then it will happen again so I switch them back and it works everytime. Weird problem for sure. Just going...

scottmandu, are you getting my PM's? Trying to get one of those pulleys from you...

Thanks and will do!

Yes, it was an Ebay purchase. What sold me was that it only had 4500 miles on it and everything works. It's not loud but the floor gets pretty hot even with the Dynamat covering the entire bottom of the cab. This truck has no floor insulation or mat on the inside and we drove 15 hours straight...

I will definitely post some pics. From what I understand the M1079 optioned a specific way came with the 1400's on it. I am not sure what is required to make that happen but if I have to lift the truck a few inches to make it work it won't be too difficult. This should be a cheaper and easier...

Does anybody have extra crank pulleys? I am not having any luck other than one on Ebay for $200.

New M1078 owner in Florida Hey everyone, I just bought a 1995 M1078 last week. Thanks to this site I already knew a lot about them. Now that I actually have one I figured I should make a post about it and share my experiences and plans. I flew to Norfolk and drove it all the way back to...

I am interested too. Please message me or email brett@a3tactical.com. If you prefer a phone call I can message you my number. Thanks!

Thank you! I lurked for a while but now that I actually have one I plan to actually contribute to the forum. Lots of mods ahead...
