For heat you could also go with a mini wood stove, like this one: This thing is a little bigger than a loaf of bread and is designed for boats. I'm planning on using one and installing it in the same area where the shower will be - It'll be on a stand and I'll also put down a welding blanket...

Sorry to say, but what you're talking about may not be simple. How were you planning on supplying the power? The HVAC unit will probably be your biggest draw. If you're gonna use a generator, you can probably use a mini-split system. If you don't want to use a generator, it starts getting...

Before I go down a strange road, I try to stay within 1 day's walk of some road that gets traffic. However, I am also considering getting a satellite phone in the future, or if Elon ever gets his project up and running, probably use his network. If you're referring to getting the vehicle out...

There are handles on the side, but I don't know that they are strong enough for tie downs. I think maybe an exoskeleton built around the item, at the very least a frame built around the bottom with strapping. It also might be prudent (or not) to open the appliance up and see what's inside...

I've been considering a SunDanzer, I've read that it's very efficient. I've done a lot of research on electrically efficient appliances. I got a Wisco countertop oven. I'm not sure how much off-road travel I'll be doing, but I don't want to shy away from any. Don't know how any of these...

When I first bought my truck, I drove it back from Salt Lake City in March, over the mountains. I alternated dropping a hand below the level of the seat as that area was plenty hot. Seal up all the holes in the cab, and it will generate a fairly comfortable temp.

I look forward to seeing your project. I often learn from other's projects. I've been working/planning mine for a couple years now.

They seem to add at least $10k to the price, over an A2. My perception (true or not) has always been the power steering, automatic transmission, diesel engine, big tires and just being newer vs the A2. I think the A2 scares some people away.

The eye is instantly drawn to Mjolnir.

Finished pics: The third pic shows an "L" bracket that stabilizes the gate mechanism.

Why can't you get a new title from where ever that title is from? I've lost titles before and had them replaced. Is it in your name somewhere or someone else's? A lot of people walk away from a sale if there's no title, especially in a state like WA where everything is expected to have a title.

They're worth what you can get for them. That said, the US coasts (east or west) tend to be higher than the center of the country. I live on the west coast and I tell people running models start around $5k, give or take. Any mods can add, but like all mods, not nearly as much as they cost...

While this is something I pay attention to on my BMW, on my deuce, not so much - my assumption being the truck appears over-engineered in more than a few places.

Retread laws vary by state. Some places they only apply to commercial vehicles. If you are more flexible with your selections, you can find a better deal in a different size. The deuce isn't so picky.

You might look at recap or retread tires, they typically run about 1/3 the cost of new tires. Also look on ebay and the like for used, you can get 80% tread for pretty good prices and sometimes free shipping.

Unlike a car, this truck is very forgiving to whatever wheel/tire combo you put on it - this is my opinion. You can pretty much put any tire on that will fit. If you still have the stock wheels (rims), I've even seen some people, here, put 395's on those. You can also change the wheel out...

It depends on what kind of tires you want. There are really a few choices.

What I'm doing to my truck is based on vehicles whose price tag usually start at about $500k. I expect to do it for about 1/10th the cost (or less).

These answers are totally off the top of my head, I claim no expertise. Because it's what they had rolling around in the shop? My guess (I never served) is that, in the military, they pull stuff apart and put it back together to make sure things are in good working order, to learn how to...
