I think the stairs are too long for a 48 inch pallet. Would be nice if they fit. I’ll ask my friend to measure. I don’t think he can weigh it because he has a neck problem. I’d rather him not lift it. I was hoping a freight company could pick it up at his house. I expected the weight would be...

2000 M1079A1 LMTV: aluminum stairs (camo) without handrails

Aluminum. The handrails are in Louisiana so they won’t go with the stairs.

Does anyone know how much the stairs weigh? Any suggestions on how to ship them? Mine are at a friend’s house in California but I’m in Texas. I want to auction the stairs to get them out of his way.

Yes, the sale was finalized last week. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2000-lmtv-m1079a1-4x4-overlander.219124/

In 2017, we flew from Nashville to Fairbanks to pick up this LMTV. We stayed in Alaska a few months then put the truck on a cargo ship to Tacoma. That was only about $2300 (TOTE Maritime Alaska).

wheelspinner— Runs great, has never let us down. Our potential buyer had said he wouldn’t want anyone but us to drive it to him. 2100 mile delivery plus 2100 mile return trip is a LOT of driving. (Our LMTV has a civilian hitch to tow a car for the return.) Anyway, looks like this Florida deal...

It’s a 2000 M1079A1 (link below). I know height is an issue. We’ve added solar panels to the roof. Haven’t tested the suspension lowering feature. I didn’t know a gooseneck was that much more expensive. We built out the box for overlanding but we’re pretty close to stock weight. We removed the...

simp5782? Just sent him a private message per your recommendation. Thanks Frank.

I need to ship a LMTV from Arizona to Florida. VeriTread quoted $6500. That’s the lowest price I’ve got via truck. Rail should be much cheaper? I‘m having trouble finding a shipper. Any recommendations?

Yes, the diesel fired heater is loud. Fortunately, we don’t have to run it long. Haven‘t tried any noise reduction for the heater.

Added ducting (silver) improves circulation considerably. Cool air intake (vertical) draws from below bunk. Hot air blows (along ceiling) toward rear of habitat. Electric mattress warmer doesn‘t use much battery power but adds a lot of comfort. (Gray foam is removed during use of heater. White...

That‘s the original chimney/exhaust pipe. The extent of an odor nuisance would depend on wind speed and direction. I agree that a longer pipe would likely help. RVers sometimes attach a tall exhaust to their generators, especially at a rally where they are jammed close together.

Thermostat (gray box with coil) mounted to wood. We used Velcro for about 1/8 inch separation from surface vs original location directly against metal.

Short chimney may explain some fumes getting into habitat. (That’s the moon, not a puff of smoke.)

Yes, it’s a LOT of heat! I never timed it but the heater doesn’t need to run very long. Thanks for doing the math. I should have marked them but pretty sure the thinner one is from the wall and the thicker one is from the floor.

Someone saw our ad on another forum and asked: “Hi - what would you say the your truck's minimum temperature capability is for semi normal habitation? Not the truck chassis but the living quarters.” My answer was: “As long as you’ve got plenty of diesel, the 60,000 BTU military heater should...
