Goodyear and Michelin make brand new tires - the Goodyear MV/T and the Michelin XZL. The military uses them widely. You just need to find someone that can and is willing to order them. One of the guys I just did an ECO hub install got a new set through a family connection that owned a tire shop...

Yep. And that's why the military van (M1079) and expansible van (M1087) models are so desirable. Not to mention they cost more empty when new (my 2008 M1079A1R was $325k new adjusted for inflation - and that's a completely empty box) than many of these civilian expedition rigs cost fully...

If you have to ask this isn't the right truck for you. All habitats for these trucks are custom built. You don't just "buy" one, you commission their construction or construct them yourself unless you buy a military van or expandable van.

Huh. Had it in my head it was a 6x6...... regardless the parts are available. The difficulty is probably finding anyone willing to do a rebuild on the third-member. They are rather large, heavy, and somewhat more complicated and unknown to most shops - even one's familiar with R&P setup...

The truck in question is a 6x6 and all of the 6x6/MTV always had the high pinion intermediate axle. There's nothing special going on there and the parts are available from any Meritor dealer. The Titan is not "exactly the same as FMTV" - that's nutty to even consider. The major complexity with...

Personally - the oddity and rarity of it, coupled with the DEF/EGR/emissions BS, lack of CTIS, and the ridiculous price of the thing (I was thinking $100k for some reason, not quarter of a mil) makes it a total non-starter for me - and I could buy it if I wanted it...... You can get a nice A1R...

You can't look at it as a "new" truck. It's not. It's 11 years old. The rubber bits, the electrical connections and insulation, etc. How are the tires? 7 years is the standard for replacement. My truck is a 2008 A1R LMTV (built by BAE same as the Titan) that had 2,750 miles on it when I...
