    Build is Finally underway

    Steve, That wood stove is so cute! Does it go in your Barbie house? Looks like the door is at least 6 bubble wrap bubbles in square area! LOL just picking! I know those little stoves kick butt. Used ones like it in fishing shack.

    Thoughts on rear air brake chamber assemblies

    Both directions on repairs are good thoughts I do myself usually buy a new part and get back on the road. However with that said, I still pull the old part apart to see what makes it tick. And then also repair it and have a spare to use or barter with. I have taken these apart and repaired...

    Wheel Covers / Rim Protectors

    What pics would you like, Pics of the different CTIS hoses or of the covers and how I notched them? I will take some pics when I get home from this pesky place I'm at right now (work). It sure gets in the way of fun things that could be going on back at the house!!

    Adventure Driven's photos and videos of their M1079

    Yes looking very nice! Seth, Are you going to put air lines into the cabinets to pressure them to keep out water during water crossings? European models do it off the air lines and it is very easy to do off a switch on the dash. It also helps keep out dust. With that type of locker box it would...

    Greaseable polyurethane sway bar bushings

    I agree. Why not grease them. I greased mine also when I installed them. I think it is Awesome that you put in the ability to grease them on the truck. Hope you sell them on here to all our members at a reasonable price! Not $90.00 each! Great to see our own group coming up with better and...

    Wheel Covers / Rim Protectors

    These are not rare parts. I bought mine for $15 each two years ago also. However when everyone started to buy them, those who sell them just raised the price. Capitalism at work. Just like all the other over priced parts.

    Greaseable polyurethane sway bar bushings

    Most people will need them. The sellers on here want 90-100 bucks per bushing and I have to "sorry, but that is just to much". That's why I made my own also. I used a existing round bushing and just cut it to slip over the swaybar and then cut a flat to match the original one. Bamm, 30 bucks and...

    Another LMTV RV Build

    Heatgun is what I did and it worked for a while until it got hot in the sun and just went back to having a warped lower side area. I cut aluminum diamond plate and attached it to the top edge from the door step all the way up to the rear. That helped it a lot and also protects it from boots and...

    Might be time for a new project!? To sell or keep current truck? Your thoughts....

    What would I do differently....... Ill start by saying I love my truck just as it is. But with any small space, you give this up for that and you just cant put everything into that small space. I liked the sloped rear as I needed it to not drag the truck down every dune and or wash ledge...

    Might be time for a new project!? To sell or keep current truck? Your thoughts....

    No I didn't do any engine mods except tp adjust the throttle cable at the engine to give full throttle. It needed adjusted about 1/4 inch. Stock size tires, just changed fronts from Mich XML with out run flats to Goodyears with run flats. They are just so much heavier a tire. I can stand my old...

    Might be time for a new project!? To sell or keep current truck? Your thoughts....

    I have driven an older Unimog 404 and almost purchased it. Except it topped out at 45mph. The newer ones are amazing but to much $$$,$$$.$$. I have spoken to and met a few guys with the newer Unimogs and they to are not fast and are expensive. They call them "fast tractors" and they are right. I...

    Might be time for a new project!? To sell or keep current truck? Your thoughts....

    I think that if I was going to go for any of those levels of changes or a combo of any of them I would just go with a different chassis all together. As far as these trucks go, I have no real issues with them. But then with the last truck I might have been very lucky and got one in really good...

    Might be time for a new project!? To sell or keep current truck? Your thoughts....

    The photo of your truck looks like a solid build. Will you be focusing on the box only or doing upgrades to the truck as well? I plan on doing the whole project. I always go through the chassis first before even starting on the box. In my opinion, it makes ne sense spending money on a box if...

    M1083 camper conversion idea......everything powered by diesel?

    "I'm sure there are a few of you guys that are probably thinking, "why not go to an RV site and ask this?" Bill, Sounds like you have a great project coming along. I agree with your comments about talking to the RV sales people. I have talked to them also and found that they can sell you every...

    Might be time for a new project!? To sell or keep current truck? Your thoughts....

    I think I will build one starting new and use the sale money from this one to offset the new build. You are right Randy, the build is what I like the most. I will not have a problem selling this one I'm sure. Anyone interested in a great camper?! LOL
