For the truck I made a 4"x4" drop-in so it could be moved to any one of the four corner posts (that's what they are for).

Total cost is about $250 after paint.
Or you can get the real one for the LMTV if you want to piss away about $5000.
Both work equally well.

Now thats just wrong on so many different levels ! What the fattest girl you ever jigged up in that thing ? Does the truck lean over much ? I assume you have to keep the boom slid all the way in on the big lifts .

Actually it worked amazing! Yeah its hard to tell in the sand but those were down at 20psi. Its really noticeable the squish on pavement, but not so much in the sand. The CTIS complains if you go over like 12 miles an hour in the sand mode, so I tried cross country which is 35 psi I believe and it was markedly bumpier, so went back to sand and did the slow cruise.. I didn't want to get buck wild on my first trip to the dunes so I took it slow. You definitely need some momentum to climb steep dunes. I tried to slowly torque up one as a test and it dug in. All in all I was super impressed with the sand ability of this truck.Did it work? Your tires look fully inflated.
I also took a trip DQ for ice cream and to Oreilly auto parts. lots of looks as i backed that giant into a spot and went inside for my tasty treat. Guy at auto parts store asked if i could bring my big truck next time.Took a short cruise for an ice cream cone. Got lots of quizzical looks and many more thumbs up. Might need to think about installing a low-keyed but funny auxiliary horn. Took the long way home checking out the scenery.
My window crank stopped moving the glass up & down so I dug in to that. Found that the glass simply came out of the anchor bracket. Removed the deteriorated rubber gaskets & used pieces of an inner tube and adhesive to make new gasket / cushions.
While the door panel was off I thought I would reconnect the interior door lock. Decided to leave it disconnected since the key lock has no key & I would hate to have that door inadvertently lock and not have a key.
