    Winches; front, back and frame mounted.

    RONMAR That's a pretty smart set up for sure and I considered it, but I think I want a large Cabinet toolbox around the frame as I'd probably use that more often. I'll go ahead and spring for a front removable winch. And possibly add a rear winch. I like the fact of how they run through the...

    Winches; front, back and frame mounted.

    Me too. That is what I envisioned before looking at these pics. Wanted to make it so I can get a snow plow on it, thought about swapping it out on the front with a winch when out of the off season. We are retiring in the mountains and if we stay up there during a winter we will need that capability.

    Winches; front, back and frame mounted.

    I'd like to see pics and ideas if ya'll have them. I had some ideas for mounting but I am going to keep the front glad hands.

    Adding Cruise Control to C7

    This is my luck....

    Alternative hydraulic hand pump.

    Anything is possible, but is it practical? I guess that’s somewhat as subjective as the trade offs are and usage may change. I am going to put batteries in a wrap around U shape bench at one end of habitat. Water tank and filtration under there too. I may have secondary water under/outside...

    Better angles of the pit of doom in this video.

    Gen 2 air conditioning install with C7 A1R - notes and pictures thus far.

    I was looking at those, can they be submerged? You going to add a switch to turn them off during water fording, maybe slaved to a relay off the fan cutoff switch ?

    Alternative hydraulic hand pump.

    Swing out and pin someway Or Even Swing up with Hydraulic assist and pin out of the way for recovery without removing. There are always compromises. Eh?

    Swing arm?

    Alternative hydraulic hand pump.

    I'd put the batteries inside was it me. LiPo's are susceptible to cold and even Lead Acid's to some degree but Lithium's more so.

    Alternative hydraulic hand pump.

    Sacrificing 10 Deg of departure angle really is not going to be a problem I don't think... There is a video of Endless Adventure romping his truck on an impossible to climb hill without winch.... I am not sure I am going on much trails like this where the truck can't get up it in low gear...

    Did you get a condenser with the two spall fans?

    Alternative hydraulic hand pump.

    Might be easier to engineer beefy jack stands. But I thought this way a guy could pour sonotube to the height he needed to create a resting pad in between habitat flat bed swaps. Could make a nice guest suite too in between excursions.

    Alternative hydraulic hand pump.

    Saw this video of RVGlobeTrekker navigating some deep holes and was observing the tire mounted on top. Also was inspecting torsion on the sub frame, the compactness of the habitat. Gotta say I was quite impressed. Now this is not to say that the tire on top isn't a ticking timebomb, but thought...

    Alternative hydraulic hand pump.

    I was considering utilizing the suspension compression hydraulic circuit to make my truck kneel ( install a second set on the rear) so that I could hook up stilts to the habitat and drive out from under it.. hook up to a flatbed and then raise truck (unkneel).. but I think I may be too ambitious...

    No metal strap in the seat like that one. I also have the sliding pintle hitch extension yours does.

    Yes and insulation on the ceiling. The sear didn’t have that side buckle in your photo but I’ve been out of pocket today at work.

    !CLOSED! Cab Mount Group Buy. NEW OEM FMTV LMTV M1078, M1079, etc

    I second the call for thank$ General Is an awesome asset to this community. I found out I have an A1R “tween” and needed two kits instead of just 1 previously spoken for.

    I'll look. I was just being facetious when commenting on the rough ride, but I'll check the seats. We should meet up and drive each other's to get a feel for what just shocks verses Giant Coil overs feel like....
