Hello! After owning and loving the truck for two years I decided it is a little too big for some of the areas I want to explore. I am looking for something that is still very capable suspension and engine-wise, but this time, has the ability for a pre-fabricated camper to be attached (like...

I would love to try to give it a shot installing myself, but I am all by myself and dont have a garage to work on it. I got 4 great looking tires from Mark in Lucerne Valley- seemed like a great guy (thanks Jeff for recommending him). I am going to tow it 1 mile down the street to the tire shop...

Well I ended up blowing a Tire, luckily I swapped the bad one out on the front so the back one went instead.. I am being towed back to Apple Valley now. Lucerne isn't too far, I'll PM you. Anyone know of someone who can install new tires in the high desert? Thanks everyone

Pm'd for Visalia info. Reno would have been great but I am in Los Banos already, still heading down I-5, at 40 mph.. I can see s few splits on the rear tire that make me nervous.

The tow truck was able to help me put my spare on the worst Tire, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and my speeds low. If anyone along this journey has tires mounted or can help me, please let me know. I don't think I have time for them to be shipped, unless I have no other option

Aside from buying old military stock, are there any major tire retailers that carry or can get the correct size? Is 39585 R20 the only size that works on the lmtv?

Hello, after writing the message, I looked around the truck again, it looks like two of the tires are split pretty bad, rather than having the tow truck replace one that hasn't popped, I think I'm going to head on because I only have one spare, if I have a blowout I definitely will need a tire...

Hello everyone! I am mid road trip, in Lodi California, destined for Apple Valley, CA when I noticed a pretty severe split on my front tire. I have a good spare, and have a tow truck on the way to hopefully help me put this on, but the other three tires aren't looking so great either and I'm...

You convinced me! I was having a hard time picturing any situation I couldn't just drive out of, but you guys have made a good point. I guess it's not THAT much more weight, all things considered. DiverDarrell, I'd appreciate seeing it all assembled. There is a lot of guesswork, even having...

After careful consideration, we are thinking this winch might be more than we will ever need or use. I am going to sell it and let someone else put it to good use. I figure for the money I could get a generator to tow behind. What is a winch like this worth? I was thinking $2-3k

So is it still pretty if and play? Any pictures would help tremendously!

Hello! We just got our rig home and there is an 11k winch and a ton of parts in the back for it. We need to get it out to get everything cleaned up, and I am randomly lucky enough to have a Shop full of mechanics in an open shop today with a forklift today.. so rather than unloading to a corner...

Thanks for your help everyone! That was quite an experience! We made it home safe! The person at the shop in MS who told me I wouldn't have enough tread didnt know what they were talking about.. I still have some tread.. although, I definitely need to find a new set of tires, so anyone in the...

Thanks for the help everyone! Looks like the tread is going to be able to get us home.. That's not the issue now... We are stuck in Spokane. Travel America in Missoula overfill are oil on the oil change by 4 gallons and didn't check dipstick after filling it. By about 20 miles down the road it...

Bummer to hear about Eric! Shadiness aside, the rig seems alright. You knew he had one.. Do you know anything else about it? I paid $15,500 including the winch (not installed), we've gone over 1k miles so far, thought it was an alright deal and the 1079s are impossible to find up in the...

Thanks for the lead! We'll give him a call, should be passing through tomorrow

Yes we did get it from Eric! Please tell me that's a good thing

The guy I bought it from said the tires and diffs might get hot on the way back.. I've been keeping it around 45 and taking breaks every hour or two is that necessary? If I was up for the task running for 10 hours straight like a semi is that something you could do in a rig like this or do I...

Front axle is good.. We just have about 25% tread left on all tires nd I'm worried we won't make the 1500miles back to Seattle without swapping. Im keeping it at or below 45mph... hopefully that will help but a new set in Montana or anywhere before home would help. If I don't find any 395...
