Still busy having a good time. Only issue so far is a sticky dump valve for the front axle CTIS, which seems to have righted itself after a misting of WD40. The past few days logged many miles WAY off pavement. This rig's performance is stunning. Here is a brief bunch of snippets of some of...

The two pole disconnect pairs terminals 1 and 2 as one set, and 3 and 4 as the other. Without thinking too hard about it, pass your 12V through the 1-2 side and your 24V through the 3-4 side? Feel free to "check my math" though... I'm presently on vacation.

I know I'm late to the party and I'm not going to waste my time watching the vid, but I am pretty certain their issue is all suspension and tire flex. I feel it in mine (~30k M1088 with a big box) and imagine anyone else will as well. I carry two bumper jacks which I use to level out the hab...

Off the lake, trip was a complete success!! Arriving at camp: Climbed a pile called The Rincon (the thing in the background): View from the top: Looking around: Made it to Cathedral in the Desert: And generally cruised around glassy water....

We're on the road!!!!! On the road 10 days at this point. Arrived through Kanab, spent a few days around Page, a couple in Valley of the Gods, now on to Hall's Crossing for 4-5 more days on Lake Powell. The fx is clear and sunny as far out as we want it, but we sat out...

Dwight, To start with, check out your DMV regs for what is permissible for an overhang. In OR, it is a percentage of the wheelbase. There is likely a maximum allowed. Plan around that. If it falls within that constraint, AND it NEEDS to be that long, dovetail it. The actual overhang on...

We finally got a full systems check with some decent weather and an afternoon trip into the Gorge. It was awkward and took a while, but we drove somewhere with the boat, unloaded, set it up, launched it, ran it out on the water, retrieved it, broke it down, and completely reloaded it...

Do it. If you're doing what I did, the only function you'll need is the cab tilt, which I would highly recommend powering with it's own manual pump. The AOH unit just seems to be asking for trouble. The OE manifold function and plumbing will make sense as you dismantle it. Independently...

Dwight, Are you deleting the whole manifold box like I did? If that's the case, it's very simple. There are two lines from the tilt cylinder. Hook those into your ports on the pump you use to replace the AOH pump. They send fluid to either side of a double-acting piston. You can chuck all...

Glad to hear you're working through it Keith.

I think @B-Dog is in Denver?

It's on my radar but I also have a friend at Capitol Reef in the same window. Will keep you posted as the time draws closer, and I hope to cross paths with you at some point this spring. Would like to make it happen.

That's weird, I've never seen a cheerleader at any of my D&D conventions.

I would also love to make it but am burning a whole lotta time April/May and a So Cal trip isn't really in the cards for me. I am aware of two others who will make the Flagstaff Overland Expo, and I am thinking of the same. Maybe find a convenient nearby locale to do an FMTV-centric gathering...

Sounds like you've got a keeper! My wife is ridiculously supportive as well, and has thoroughly enjoyed getting out in ours. I wouldn't have done it without her buy in, but neither of us had ever been in/driven one. When we checked ours out (was a local CL sale) and she was good with it, we...

Thanks Dwight. I've kept active on here because of the support that this forum shows its members. I have reaped many benefits others have generously shared and seek to contribute anywhere I can, so that's why I keep rambling on here... I am very happy with the entry stairs and would change...

With our upcoming trip, it was about time to get out for a shakedown. In stereotypically miserable PNW weather, we went out into the forest yesterday for an overnight systems check and process review. Everything still worked and the new shower was fantastic! It's also great to see it...

Each dip switch should have a number over it, and the ones marked 1, 2, 3, & 10 should be set to off. I can't confirm that as I don't have an A0, but that's the gist of the post.

It may need a flange and gasket to seal up the gap, but I am willing to try without it for now and calling it "finished" (finally!). Door: Doorway finished, fan valance installed, ready for use: We will be heading out for a trial run this coming week. Looking forward to giving it a try!!

Yes, ^ this!!!! Makes it a LOT easier to line stuff up to get a wheel back on.
