I love watching your truck build. Wish I had room for an extra toy to make a rock crawler. One thing I read on the dryer install instructions was that you need a minimum length of line between the compressor and a down slope to the dryer. This is to help keep air cooler and condensation...

Ronmar, In almost every case, I just assume you know more about trucks than I do, but I thought their construction was different. Please correct my thoughts below. I thought the alternators had two sets of coils that were in series. Take one coil and you get 12volts when you add in the second...

Why not get a battery balancer that is rated for 100a, make the alternator just push 24v (remove all 12v loads from the alternator side), then draw all of your 12v off of the balancer? Not sure if I said that right, but hopefully you get the question that I meant to ask. Sent from my iPhone...

Awesomeness sells new greaseable bushings. Just search for them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My 1083A1 has the fan disconnected. Just need to verify the direction the air is blown. I am assuming top-down. Can someone please just confirm? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, I looked for the thread. Maybe Awesomeness can post the link to his winch install thread here. A bit of advice on the PTO. It will take all of two people to put it in place. We dropped one end of the front drive shaft and removed the front cross member that looks like a “C” channel...

Before you get too far, it is easier to put the PTO in with the tank removed. Gives you more options to reach in there. The PTO is behind the so you have to reach in over the tank area and under the air cleaner. Awesomeness has a thread where he was doing the swap at the same time as me...

These are the best PTO pictures I have. Not sure if this helps. This is out of an A0 truck (tan) being put in an A1 truck (green). Hope that helps some.

Any updated pictures? I am anxiously waiting to see how this project goes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the winch/accessory harness did not come in my truck. I had to steal it from the donor truck. With that said, if you plan to divorce it from your transmission, it may not matter as much. My harness is from an A0, so I already have to do some magic to...

You can run the winch while the tires move. Here is a video showing how it works with an A0. I have an M1083A1 with a winch transplanted from an A0. I have everything but the harnesses wired in. Right now, I am planning to disable the lockout so I can run the wheels while winching. I...

Are you going Lithium or AGM batteries? If you go lithium, I would worry less about where those go because they really are not that heavy. They could go where convenient instead of taking up space where water can go. They still are more dense than water, but with all of the air and electronics...

I forgot how many I bought, maybe 40 for $20. The local Parker store had a minimum order. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FYI all, This size fit. I leaks since. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where would you have that done? I doubt my local discount tire would touch them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks great! Is that the upper frame rail of a 1083? Reason I ask, is it is mounted upside down from what is on the stock 1083. I don’t think that matters in your case, but it is just something I noticed. With the steel camper frame, you should have no problems with torsion. Sent from...

A link I found with good frame attachment guidance. https://www.volvotrucks.us/-/media/vtna/files/shared/body-builder/manuals/volvo_section-7-frame.pdf Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kieth is a good guy. He has helped answer a bunch of questions. Welcome to the forums. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like you have put a lot of thought into your design. Please feel that any comment by me is meant to be collaborative and adding perspectives from outside. Feel free to steal any idea or reject anything I say. How is the cabin being constructed? When I was looking at doing a rail on...
