On my cover which was a brand new one I got from army trucks Inc, the people at the factory who made it did a terrible job of getting the right pieces in the right places. On the inside where the straps are short straps for strapping it to the pipes and long straps for when you roll it up, half...
thats really nice! i have reverese engineered and made in SolidWorks in 3D Cad the entire structure, if you would like a copy. i know you have already made many modifications but you may still find it useful
The model is the Trumpeter M1083 model, I just 3D printed my modified expansible van body in 1:35 scale to fit it. Eventually I'll finish the real thing
For an even more ridiculously Overkill camper look at this. At least it has room for six people!

i dont have a seal, but i made a 3d printed seal install tool with carbon fiber petg per the TM for unit maintenance. tm me if you would like on, ill print another. also the break adjust tool
So you can just register the truck at a lower gross vehicle weight than it actually has? An M1078 only has a gross vehicle weight of about 23,000 anyways from what I remember.
You can get the tires for a few hundred bucks in decent condition and not very old but you'll still have to replace them every few years since they only have a few years left on them. The big question is what kind of work do you do and what do you need the bed for? If it's heavy stuff you're...
I was able to MacGyver a solution by sliding the bar from my two jaw puller which has a 3/4 in screw into a pipe that I found that was 1.625in. It worked in a pinch but I still do want to make a permanent tool for this. Reply who among you would want a yoke puller that doesn't have all those...
