    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    I drive past several RV dealers in my NEO area that have to have millions of $$$ in inventory sitting in their lot, so I don't think there is any wait time. Google Sirpilla RV on Google Earth and look at their lot... and that's not the only place like that.... Class A RV's selling for $250k and...

    Pulse Battery Maintainers (was Pulse Charging)

    I got the Bussman off ebay for under $200 open box.... It was part of the 200A 24v serpentine belt and AC conversion project... so the Equalizer part was sort of a freebie. The real additional cost were the PV panel and Victron MPPT.

    Pulse Battery Maintainers (was Pulse Charging)

    I had 2 Chinese pulse chargers fail. When parked outside the 60A 24v solar panel keeps it topped up. I might have to tear the last pulse unit apart to see what's up. The 1st one went up in smoke lol

    AC Option?

    A commercial grade 24v 200A alternator isn't exactly cheap. I have a cheaper source than these, and love it with the Bussman Equalizer on my rig.

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    Keep in mind that some of these builds you see contain a lot of "donated" components in exchange for the marketing plug on their YouTube channels.... The average guy, for example me, doesn't buy Scheel- mann seats at $3-4k a set, we buy Pacifica take-outs for $200.... Have an open mind to what...

    Problems with hydraulic manifold

    I had problems with my manifold, and documented the teardown of a valve. Its in the Facebook Military Vehicle Camper Mods page in the Brewser album. That screen is stainless, so you can't retrieve it with a magnet. I used a small pick to first rotate, then pull it out. Cleaning resolved my...

    M1088 camper conversion

    Strength. That notch, even tho boxed is a significant reduction in strength under flex.

    M1088 camper conversion

    If the pic of the notched beam is the final location with regards to the transmission mount, I would recommend a plate to restore strength to that area, just in case.

    Have you installed 3.07 gears in your truck? Kindly step in I have something to ask

    No crickets here my friend lol... Here's why they're not in there yet - lack of an indoor facility, that allows me to take my time doing the job. But that's been addressed now. If you do a little research on the mods I've done so far you might realize I'm not exactly afraid of tackling this...

    Have you installed 3.07 gears in your truck? Kindly step in I have something to ask

    I paid $4k for new ones.... yup... Should have bought the gears and rebuilt myself, but time sometimes gets away from me. $3500 to install? Not happening!!
