Mine is the later small window shelter, and it has the 1/2" looking block of rubber. Just looking at things, it would appear the shelter has only about 1/4" of space between the subframe and truck frame. I think that distance is about the max the shelter is raised (and could...

Now I need to go check mine. I used the tire lift on my two other trucks, but I honestly don't know that I've ever had my M1079 spare down. I checked the tire presser once a year, but did that in the stowed position.

My amazing feat of the week was installing 6-fuse blocks behind both the driver and passenger kickpanel. One thing I hate about the A1R is the way BAE buried the power lugs used to tap into additional power. While there are +/- lugs right on the left face of the PDP on the A0...

When in doubt, I just take my old hose to the local hose shop and let them make one up. Should be several hose shops in San Antonio and along the corridor who could hook you up.

I've been lugging my little folding solar panel kit around for a few weeks now. Wanted a place to stow it that would withstand bouncing around offroad. Seemed like keeping it close to the batteries made sense. Some scrap aluminum angle, some ss d-rings, a pass with the rattle can, done...

That came out clean !

OK, that's cool !

I have those in my Amazon cart. Someone had some on their truck a few years back Great idea, but my truck is a daily driver and I'd never put them on. LOL

Yeah, but it's pretty tight in there. I've only seen pics but it was enough for me to say nope. ;) I don't see the advantage now, anyway. It's not that much additional clearance (an inch?). It just ups the replacement cost. And if you are doing it for higher speed, why not just go with...

Standard MayPop procedure for the Michelins. :)

LOL, yeah it looks like a dip-holder

Saw this one kinda out your way... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/fmtv-cargo-bed-covers-with-bows.212328/ EDIT: nevermind, they are for an MTV

Yeah, but he just needs a tan cargo cover. They are a dime a dozen on GP all the time. The shipping though.....

Cheaper to paint the truck than to ship a cargo cover. Green is faster, btw.

Definitely want to hear more.

I think I paid $100 ea for the two lights. I'll be making the panel, but I haven't decided on the type of light switches I'll be using in the cab. You really only need a couple on/off toggles and a couple joysticks. Little analog sticks are like $5.

LOL, yeah I have "camper project build stuff" in: Living room Dining room (floor to ceiling) M1082 trailer (filled up to the roof) As well as every square inch of the garage I've been working on the house the past month and between family coming down I've made zero progress with the build.

I have a pair of IBIS TEK remotes. I plan on making a small "cage" for each and incorporating them into the roof rack. And like you, I'll have switches and a couple small joysticks in the center console to control them (mine will be on a master panel with a number of other features, thoough)...

Cheaper to buy a forklift (and more practical). ;)

But then wouldn't it be easier to just.... :) https://www.govplanet.com/for-sale/Emergency-Vehicles-1985-Oshkosh-A%2FS32P-19A-4x4-Fire-Truck-Pennsylvania/5475708?h=5000%2Cc%7C4037%2Csm%7C1%2Cms%7CG%2Ck%7Cfire+truck%2Cmf%7C1&rr=0.33333&hitprm=&pnLink=yes
