I'd love selectable lockers, but at 2k per axle that is a bit high imo. Any chance the price comes down? Hard to justify double the cost vs a Detroit style locker Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Since I'm doing an expo build and not a resto, I'm looking to have the door panels, and most metal panels fabricated from a different material. I'll then be using screws with a different head and rubber between the panels. I'm hoping this will help with the rattle and fit/finish. - - this of...

I'm hoping to find someone with prior knowledge of the mil spec or systems on these trucks, but don't know where to source that from. From there I'd like to learn from that individual as they do the work (so I'm not learning by trial and error which is both costly frustrating and slow). This...

Thanks for the response. Do you know what contractors or outfits they outsource the maintenance to? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Hope everyone is doing good. I'm beginning to get to the point in my build where the work needed, or preventative for the truck is past my knowledge, tool capacity, time availability etc etc. I've visited the CAT dealership to schedule service, and also asked for recommended HD mechanics around...

After a few months, I thought I'd give an update to my decision. I purchased an M1088 from Suprman on the forum. Vehicle was described accurately, great condition, and Will has been very helpful with parts, information, suggestions, etc. I appreciate all of the thoughts on the forum. After...

I agree with both. My hope with my original post was to identify which problems are now, recurring, and are these problems model year specific? By no means do I think I'll buy a truck and it'll be reliable off the auction block. But it'll help to know what to avoid and what to try to focus...

Thanks for the offer. I'd love to check out your 1083 if I'm ever in the area. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Definitely will need Ac, sound proofing and better heat shielding on the underside roof and exterior, sound mat and deadening on the interior, layered by carpet and foam and soft to the touch interior. New seals on door and windows. I used to flip diesel trucks (Ford 350 & 450s) and we'd...

Is there a Toyota like reliable chassis to consider in the same or similar price range as an fmtv? Are there any common factors of the members who have had good experiences with their truck and the times between issues? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Do you mind sharing the issues you have with your lmtv and year/model? This'll help me as a narrow down my selection. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

If you all haven't noticed, I will need to read about how to reply multiple quotes within the same post, and within the same question... I would switch the axles to the meritor MRAP axles to allow for 60-70mph cruise, with lower RPMs. That being said, I'm a pretty big safety nut, so I'll cruise...

I've browsed GP everyday for the past 3 months, now that I am prepping for purchase mode. Why do you recommend the WTEC 3?

Hope everyone is having a good day. Thank you for the quick responses. (I suppose I should've mentioned this in my first post, as it's worthwhile info... ) I have to log my time for work, so I get used to logging time for everything, keeps me aware of effectiveness. I have spent 1,049.25 hours...

Hope everyone is doing well. I've been obsessing over overland/expo vehicles for the past several years. After overcoming some health issues, and saving up enough money, I'm preparing to take begin the build. I estimate it'll take 6-9 months to complete, so would like to purchase by Oct 15th, to...
