That's a big filter, about 12" wide. After you add supports to the side, you're probably almost as wide as the spare tire...? I used (2) D100029's (10" wide) and even still, I put the filters above the cab roof seam to keep the box as close to the cab as possible.

Before you make any decisions, I think it would be a good idea to remove the upper rails and then go drive it offroad to see how much the frame flexes. Your spring system will have to accommodate the movement if you want to limit the the flex transferred into the habitat. My hunch is that...

You should find a t-case with 2:1 reduction and couple it with the ECO hubs! :eek:

Small crane or forklift rental, 4 casters, fab up a cart and call it done. After going up and down the steps 673x over a few weeks (months?) ripping out, insulating and reinstalling the interior, you'll hear me :D

Literally any car audio shop will install sound deadening at an hourly rate. Alternatively, take the cab off and cart it in the garage. It would be much easier to do all the work you speak of at ground level anyway.

Those reusable fittings are going to negate any savings you could possibly find, anywhere. They are $$$ You sure the stock hose is 5/8"? I can't remember but I didn't think they were that big. The hoses on the wheel valves are much smaller. discounthydraulichose.com has more options for...

Excap. They rebuild Steyr trucks from the ground up (10x more involved than an Acela refurb). The extended cab version is like $120k. https://excap.de/

I needed to look this up anyway so I thought now would be a good time. I think your page numbers might be off, by about 1000; you meant page 1610, 1624 & 1635. More maintenance details are in Unit Maint 4; 9-2320-20-4, section 10-5; pdf page 620 Oil type is in appendix D, Section II, item...
