Yeah, you're going to have to fab up a mount no matter what unless you drop back down to the 100a 24/12 alt. So have at it. I'd use the 24v 260a with a converter and a custom mount.

Not impressed with their quality or price, but the idea is cool. And it seems rather narrow in the Sprinter (but they all do). If you had a M1079 that you wanted to keep handy as a box truck or a box trailer that you wanted for cargo use, I can think of possibilities here...

Actually, the guy who bought my first LMTV uses it to pull his big flatbed down here for Spring Break. The trailer has a DJ booth and a stripper pole...

It's a custom build, obviously. Hard to tell exactly how much smaller it really is due to the fish-eye effect of the camera, but iirc it's not that much smaller. If I could find his build thread there's a lot of pics of it, but it may have been on FB.

Yep, I don't have a pic of the one that was bolted up. I debated the idea but even with a sun shade on the inside, it would just add to the "greenhouse" effect that is no bueno down here in S.TX They sure look cool, though (but it would just add to the hot for me).

Somebody around here has a clear cover. I don't think I saved any pics. edit: found this my cab interiors folder. I forget who's it is....

Meh, dash throttle lever and a bungee cord. /done ;p

I can only speak to the OEM M1079 captured spring system on my hab. I live on the coast in S.Tx and it blows 25mph on a normal day. We get frontal systems all spring and most of the winter and I've traveled up thru the hill country almost year-round. Granted, my hab is only 12.5' x 8' so...

And that's pretty much universal in every state. Even less consistent when LEO (especially local) get involved.

Doesn't Sean from the Abel LMTV Youtube channel run one of those in his cab?

I want to get this done soon. I'm thinking of adding a boot (either shock or fork if I can find one that might mod-to-fit. Not just for show but to protect the shaft and seals. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDFFZGL3/ref=sspa_dk_detail_6?th=1

I was sandbagged for it, but it never came. We had just over two days of showers here that were steady, but not pouring. My garage will flood if I get an inch on top of already saturated ground, and while it was certainly saturated what followed was spread out enough the it never even pooled...

Volcanoes have never been an issue down here in Texas. They don't come here. No virgins to sacrifice...

I use it as an alien anal probe. And they HATE it !

If it's not an A1R (2008 and later) it has the 100a alt. Absolutely drop to dual batteries. I don't have this diagram for the "With Disconnect Switch" but I think it's still the same.
