Just avoid busting out the torch. The aluminum skin and the enclosed foam aren't particularly fond of it. There's an aluminum beam that the steel screws are threaded into (unlike metals), and I've seen more floors with corrosion than wall threads. But you'll get them out. A good soak with...

They very I had to use a hand impact and a big hammer to get all the screws to just bust loose. The screws can be a real bitch, the longer they've sat. I had to use a grinder cutting wheel to x-cut the heads so the impact could grab a couple of them.. My truck is a 2008 and the floor skids...

Everyone has tastes and goals. A good starting place is to make that list (especially if there is a woman involved). ;) Most people want to make use of as much storage space as possible, but I wanted to keep the inside feeling as "open" as possible. I'm not claustrophobic, but I appreciate...

I say it counts..... *bonus points for radar Link to video: https://x.com/Health00810/status/1828097908324868105

Good looking truck. Is that the first one or the second that you acquired? I'm not certain that's a 2008 A1R w/C7 It appears to be an A1 w/ 3126 Need to confirm that info as the wiring harnesses, engine, trans, controller are all different between the two variants.

This is the one I went with for the cab (still waiting for a neck injury to heal before I can do the install). The stuff people sell on Amazon or eBay are the same exact units that you see on AliExpress (typically half the price with no middleman, because that's where they get the units to...

I LOL'ed Here's my mis-post for the year...

As I said, I've left it as an option. I originally drew up a way to do it with a 6x10 segment that just bolts to the ceiling. I would also contain the ceiling lights. It'll be an easy enough mod to slap in if needed.

Agreed. The AAR shelters on the M1079 are one big thermal bridge. I've put a heat gun to the walls and seen it match the outside wall in direct sun. I'm adding a 1.5 inches of Sika board in the walls. It (along with the wooden framework) is merely to sever the thermal bridging but it's an...

Yep. But anything can be had for the right price. The ideal solution with no budget would likely be getting in contact with some of the race truck sponsors (Dakar, Red Bull, etc). But race gear is silly expensive (especially when the manufacturer sends the engineering team out to tune the...

Mine is sitting on the garage floor. Even when it was installed and working as intended, it was absolutely not viable due to the noise. You'd have to sleep with noise protection. But no, I had to run the genset to operate it. You likely couldn't carry enough battery to run the thing off any...

I've pondered it for years. I think first I will get the brush guards, ladders, roof rack, towbar and carrier, lighting, a/c , and all interior cab work installed. I don't expect it to really feel any different (I certainly won't be adding anywhere near the weight of the armor kits), but I...

Nothing you can't fix with some wheel spacers and a grinder....

Nope. Just the usual bundles rapped in plastic.

It's not windshield wiper fluid, is it? ;)

The controllers are likely bricked. LOL

There's no proper TM for the A1R in civilian hands, afaik. The most recent TM I have is digital, but cuts off before the A1R. The schematics are wrong for pretty much most all of the truck. It does show a pic of the C7 and the correct dash, but really contains no viable info. It's really for...

This guy charged at the little hill and basically hit it head-on and like a brick wall. I'm not sure that they were "training" because supposedly the CO was chewing ass....

North Packery Channel Jetties, Mustang Island, TX Actually, we get tickets for driving on that sand pile (it's not a "dune" it's where the graders push the excess sand as they maintain the city part of the beach) and they likely shouldn't have been playing there. The pile is normally much...
