Adventure Driven's photos and videos of their M1079

I am sure this has been brought up here before, but please check your wedge brakes people!!! I took mine all apart and cleaned and re lubed everything, my truck needed it badly. It went smooth and is very easy to do actually. Brakes are important, add it to your list if you have not done it please !!!!

Cheers
Seth

I see in your videos that you are often out adventuring, but then also back in the shop. What does that schedule look like for you? Are you out on the road for a few weeks, then back for a couple days?

 

[Adventure Driven]

Yes you are pretty much right, winter time more time is spent getting ready for the busy warm season, this summer we are planning a pretty big trip in Brutus, up into Organ, Idaho, Montana.

That being said we have a boatload of trails and adventure right out our back door, so we get plenty of opportunity to go shake the truck down often.

There's your marketing pic, ready to go. Nice shot! Guessing you climbed a tree.

I apologize, but I'm late to the party here:

- are those photo-voltaic cells on the roof?

- and what's the different pieces of hardware just forward of all that (above the cab)?

That's pretty cool. Is theirs a M1078 with custom box or a modified M1079? My wife loves their coffee but I don't drink the stuff so she'll just have to be the sole member of our household supporting them.
