Sounding like I’m not that far off on average mileage from you guys.

It seems like, to me, I drive my M1008A1 a lot. In it everyday when I’m not flying. Ranch work, errands, occasionally driving to work, etc. But I’m only averaging just over 5300 miles per year. Have had truck just over 3 years now. Truck is great and wife and I take it for an occasional...

A dying starter will cause the cranking issue. Cranks, but not fast enough. Mine was dying a slow death and made me think battery’s, etc when she wouldn’t fire. Replaced starter and engine cranked faster than ever Just a thought..........

Croft Trailer has the best price on that shock and outstanding customer service.

Used to be to a certain extent, but that info is no longer available. Unless you find unit bumper markings, you may never know it’s recent history. Some guys were lucky and found maint. paperwork in their trucks after auction. To know the trucks entire history, you’ll need a time machine.

Do whatever works for you. Personal preference Your truck, Your rules. I personally like mine stock. That’s me. Recently bought a lot of NOS CUCV resistors so I can change them now as required or on a maintenance schedule. I don’t really care what someone else does to their truck(s). I...

PEX is all the same I believe, just different colors. I’ve had mine installed for over 8 months and hardly a mark on it. Have you adjusted your door post?

https://www.wilsonamplifiers.com/weboost-home-4g-cell-phone-signal-booster-kit-470101/ I ordered this one. Fingers crossed

I know the shelter is designed to keep signals out. Wanting to see what would work to bring signal in. I was also thinking about doing the two antennas setup as I mentioned earlier. It seems logical and is a lot less expensive than the commercial booster setups on the market. Think I will...

As mentioned earlier, I know there are devices to bring service inside. What I don’t know is which ones truly work and which ones don’t. I know a few guys that have used them without much success. Maybe a member here has built their own system and would share how it was done. I thought...

While we are miles from town, the signal strength is good 4 bars Leave door open while I’m inside it’s 2 bars Close door.......nothing. Not even a hint.

Have S-280 Shelter and cannot receive either cellular or radio signals once inside and door closed. There are several devices available commercially that are advertised to bring the signals inside, but have read most are so so at best. A friend spent over $500 on one model and he said it...

Have a large rug on top of wood flooring, almost the size of the whole floor and it’s been great. Nice and warm and acts like sound proofing. My only complaint about the whole thing is once you’re inside, zero cellular signal reception and raidos don’t work either. Ive looked at the devices...

Day of pickup It never fails, when your not looking for something, great deals fall into your lap. Now that I want another S-280(s), their scarce and very expensive when they do pop up. Figures.........

True Containers, while pricey, are easy to find. S-280’s are not and when you do their expensive. I lucked out on mine with GSA. Good price. 30 minute drive to get it Sold the contents (weather balloons) that came with it and it paid for shelter and then some. Win-Win Yea If I could...

When I was at Red River Army Depot a few months ago, there were dozens and dozens of these trailers. Most were damaged from battle and the long journey back to the states. This was in the “back” area of RRAD and I wasn’t supposed to be back there. Wrong turn. GP loves their monster...

The container blocks the North wind in the winter and shade trees keep direct sun off it during summer. It’s very quiet and peaceful where it’s located. I wish I had about 10 more of them. Both the Containers and S-280

Is painting the flexplate a bad idea? I always see them rusted and probably would have painted it.

A few forklift wounds were there. Both sides. Took over a week just to dry it out. No water damage, just insulation soaked. Once dry, fixed holes with structural adhesive. Been nice and dry inside ever since. I do not have it attached to shipping container. It’s attached to the railroad...
