All, Thank you very much for all of your help. So that I do not overdo the questions, I plan to read the TM's before I get too much further. Everyone has been extremely helpful. I appreciate it! I think right now that I will leave the air cleaner, coolant tank, dip sticks in place...

Any idea how high that is above the highest drive train component? Looks like the transfer case or transmission protrudes above the frame rails. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, it may become a crawl space and not a big hole so I move less truck stuff. It might be nice to add windows on the edge indents as well. Don't tempt me on the cab and a half[emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was hoping to not have to move the air cleaner or fluid fills. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If the hydraulic controls were moved and the tire carrier gone, how close would the first big thing on the left side be to the centerline? Not sure if that makes sense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I planned to either have a clamp on bellows ring for the cab, or possible some rare earth magnets to hold the bellows in place. Either way I will make it disconnect and have a rain cover when disconnected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After looking at your truck, I think I can leave the truck suspension alone and move the tail lights to my box. Those pictures are incredibly helpful. Thank you. It almost looks like the top of the hydraulics control panel is almost even with the cab floor under the passenger seat. Is...

Martin, can you take some pictures of the frame top down and a few side shots so I can see the placement of everything around the frame? Also, maybe some close ups of the back of the cab? I would like to see what I have to work with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks to everyone on this thread, after much discussion, help from everyone, and some research, I have decided on a 108x chassis. Probably the 1088, but I will have to see what is at auction when I am ready to pull the trigger. Thanks to everyone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So you are not tuning up all of the way to 350? Is that for reliability? Would your recommendation be to get the 3126 or the 3116 then? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How much did the new u joints and drive shaft cost? Is the speed limited by the ecm? Have you seen anyone tune up the engines for better mileage? Thanks for all of your help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was thinking the same thing. I think it will come down to cost and condition. I can either use the flat bed as my base, or build a new floor frame for the 1088. Right now I am leaning toward the 1088, since I could build exactly what I wanted. Do you think the 1088's are in better shape...

I will be hanging a ways off of the back end as well, so that is another consideration. Hanging off the 4x4 would decrease my departure angle even more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the 6x6 may be better for me. I plan on having a lot of weight. Between the water, fuel, generator, and batteries, I have over 1 ton of stuff. Plus I plan on an ATV garage, the box, appliances, furniture, etc. I would have to make sacrifices to fit, and carry the weight. Also...

Awesome information Suprman. None of that scares me. Is there a year/model number that is the better or worse? Which ones to look for and which ones to avoid? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The more I have talked to everyone on here the more I like the 1083. I would like to drive both at some point, but my only major concern is reliability at this point and a test drive won't really help with that. It sounds to me that the 923 is more intuitive to work on since it is more...

Would you think that most of the major quirks have been addressed by now, except for maybe some lingering electrical gremlins? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the input. I am decently handy with a multimeter if I know what to look for. If I have a schematic and instructions on what voltages I need where, that is easy for me to check. I worry about having a problem away from the internet and then getting really stuck. It seems to me...

I plan to build a purpose built camper box on the back of it. Most trips will be 400 miles one way or less, (probably even less) with an annual trip of maybe 1,000 miles one way. Maybe every 5 years go a lot further. A lot of road driving followed by a bit off road. I don't plan to do...
