I need to start gathering a parts list to do that (sorta). At some point I would like to make my rigid mounted cab on the A1R into an air ride.

First image is of an A1R NATO box. In later trucks the manual battery disconnect, disconnect relay, and NATO port are enclosed here. Second image is a later model (A1 or A1R) is the 9-Pin J1939 port for the Cat and Alison magic boxes to talk to the gods of the motorpool.

I don't think I have my old SCORE rule book on shoulder harness mount angles, but that certainly looks within the proper range. From an engineering standpoint, a front impact is going to do it's best to pull the bar forward. I would add one additional brace on the side that runs perfectly...

Now I may have to tinker with Photoshop to see what an LMTV would look like. LOL

Rgr that.

Concrete Street now, but yep. Place still jams ! *edit well, closed due to COVID-19 at the moment, but yeah

No, it's 7.25" total extension. The pintle is out 7.25" further than the standard.

Correct me if I'm wrong My point is that it's not really that simple. I mean you are not just slapping on the winch and plugging in the wires. You have to a) find one and assuming the seller is including "everything", b) you have all the hoses, fittings to run and mount, c) PTO, d)...

OK, I had enough light. It's right at 7.25" additiuonal length.

I'll have to measure it in the morning, but these images are with it fully extended:

The thing to remember is that a winch rated the same weight at your truck is *still* going to need a snatch block system. Reason: the added resistance of being stuck will often exceed the capability of the winch So forget the SWR trucks, IMO. Far too over-priced for a winch not even rated to...

Stick with that Sherpa.

OEM (I assume) BAE military for the A1R's. This was the first truck I ever saw it on (2008 A1R M1079). The bits break down like this: I have no words to describe what holds it all together (other than it would hurt):

I'm thinking that I might be able to mount it like most people do (using the four holes for the pintle). But there will be nothing below to help re-enforce it back to the lower frame like most do). That's what has me stumped. I was even thinking of just using pins to hold some sort of lower...

That drill is BADASS, too. :)

Awesome and beefy ! I'm pondering how to add a civilian 2" receiver hitch to mine. The trick with that is the fact than mine extends (when the truck gets excited).

Did I miss what you are planning to do for the compressor mounts?

Silly question, but why don't you make the uppers as well?

Ah cool. I was unaware that the trailers used a different bushing. The ones on my '08 truck are still solid but the ones on my M1082 started to break down as soon as I went to recover it.
