I didn't make up my mind until I read everyone's posts. Isn't that the purpose of the forum - to gather people's opinions and then make a decision and then see if it holds up to scrutiny, but not unnecessary sarcasm?

Thanks for everyone's responses. Very helpful. However, right now I have a complete AGM Victron system that has not been updated to include Lithium batteries. I have some great lithiums from my old rig that I eventually want to install and I have a place to install them inside. But that is...

I have 1998 Mercedes Benz Actros 2040 truck with 4 large truck size AGM batteries stored in the outside battery back behind the cab and underneath the cabin. The truck side of the batteries hold a charge. But the Cabin side are shot. So now I have to decide whether to continue going with AGM...

Not sure 50' tires are that common!

Nice to get some double use out the Astroglide. I actually have 48" tires and you are correct, they have a three piece system. I'm looking for a recommendation on the appropriate tire irons package to have just incase I damage my 5th (spare) wheel and I need to remove and put on the 6th...

Thank you. I don't have those kinds of wheels. I need to find a video on how to change a spare that doesn't have a rim on to the rim of the damaged tire. I also need a good list of what tools I need to make this spare change out in the field.

What tools do you carry and what are Hutchinson wheels?

Do you carry tools that allow you to mount the unmounted spare to the damaged tire rim so you can do it yourself if you are way out in the bush?

Really looking nice. I like the black bumper. Nice to have another Actros on the roads of America!

Excited to watch the build!

Thank you for this information. I will need to get my ECU reprogrammed asap. I'm running 48" tires so what do you think the speed index would be? Also, the speedo only goes up to 100 km. So I think that is a nature place to stop.

And sorry about posting in this section. I only found the other section after posting here. My bad.

Ah, yes. Congress within days is going to take away all of California's EPA exemptions -- including CARB Diesel emissions, and Trump is going to quickly sign the bills, because he hates California. Now I am definitely not a Trumper. But sometimes the dice rolls your way and you'd be a fool...

Do you have the make and model number for me to review?

Was wondering what everyone would suggest for the best external water filtration system drawing water from a creek, fresh water, or other similarly sketchy water source. And then, separately, what does everyone suggest for an internal water filtration system with its own tap or pouring system...
