The van body swap. I told the shop fast and cheap. It's not as clean as I'd liked but these guys build water trucks so it's not going anywhere. I've put 10k miles on it since. The nylon locks at 500ftlbs. They haven't budged. The welds still look strong. Not pretty but strong.

Time to add a trailer to the family. Out and back to Montana with our 1st blow out at the bottom of the Donner Pass.

Time for new shoes. Took me about a week with a buddy helping the last day. We rotated two back to the trailer and put 4 new tires up front. Also 30 oz of beads. So far so good.

Do you mind sharing more on this? Whose product you used and so on.
Here's the amazon link. Weivision 1080P FHD 360 Degree Bird View Surround Panoramic View Car Vihicle DVR Camera System Kit for Fire Engine/Bus/School Bus/Truck/Semi-Trailer/Box Truck/RV +9inch HD Display https://a.co/d/aXWa887

I love it! IMO it's a must have if you want to daily drive one of these trucks. I tow the M1082 as well so I do wish I had more cameras. Lol. I've put nearly 10K miles on my rig. I ride my motorcycle when not running the truck.

I never wired my trigger wires. I just use the remote which I stuck to the console with velcro.
