  1. Third From Texas

    Is this price real?

    And we've seen late model M1078A1's sell for over $25K recently. But as pointed out above, location (it was sold in CA where $117K/yr is "low income"). ;) But the most expensive M1078 sold today was $8700 out of Vegas. After that came a non-running winch truck from Tx.

    Is this price real?

    Actually, that was a M1079 today. Running M1079's fetch high prices, yes. I've seen non-runners go that high since I started watching them a few years ago.

    When you say that you "re-routed some vent lines, can you elaborate? I plan on adding a wench and really want to free up the space. As you said, they can always be re-installed should an emergency arise.

    LMTV CTIS $10 upgrade to ~75psi for Highway

    Well, for a $10 mod I'm quite pleased. It should save some tread and possibly a bit of fuel on the road. As for off-road, I think 27 psi in the sand should be enough and can always air down further as needed (I do a LOT of sand driving). The 45 psi might be a hair high for xcountry, but...

    LMTV CTIS $10 upgrade to ~75psi for Highway

    Yes, same size (the OEM on mine would have uses a larger wrench to remove, but it had a small copper extension). Body of the transducer and length were the same, though. One of the guys on FB pointed out that there are some that mount from the bottom so I'm sure there were several adaptations...

    Remote Start System for AO's

    I've made these for our cars over the years (basically for chase crew, pit crew, or shop mechanics). In some cars I hard-mounted the switch system at the engine. In others I set it up as a tethered device that plugs in for use. So I've been pondering what it will take to make one for the...

    Well, got my 150 lb pressure sensor for the CTIS PCU installed today (thanks for the tip, Tom Bauer). Shipped from China but arrived in 5 days. Installation (swap out with OEM) took all of 10 minutes. CTIS now produces as follows... Highway: 75 psi XCountry: 45 psi Sand: untested due to...

    Oh, nothing. The site popped up in a discussion on FB. I was just wondering if it was someone from here (then afterwards the fellow chimed in on the FB discussion).

    LMTV throttle cable

    It might be good to have all the dimensions posted in the forum somewhere. I've seen throttle cable discussions s come up in the past.

    Cab Tilt Lock Light

    Might be simple enough to put a contact switch at the latched position. If the light comes on, then reset the cab and inspect the plunger. Might make for a fun mod.
