Time for another bump. It doesn't take long for a thread to be way down in the weeds here :)

If you can fit them over the brakes another option is the HMMV wheels. With the 24 bolt rims and something like the Goodyear Wrangler MTR (E) you are looking at 4540# @ 65 PSI and rated for 87 mph. Not as heavy as the MRAP option and easier to get them in your bolt pattern. Easily available...

Outline of a couple of catcus and a set of tire tracks and you are good to go. I would do the photo shop thing but since I relate to your previous post about learning things the rig would be rusted away before I finished. :)

Ok Pat you get the next set. I don't think they will be low enough for me once I lift the truck up enough to fit the MRAP axles under. Might need a sky hook!

I like that step [emoji848]. More details please sir?

Yep mate. RV not ambulance.

Actually there is a 2015 Freightliner based RV rollover coming up for auction. 8.3 with 16,000 miles. Hmmmm!!!! :drool: DPF delete and away I go!! Plus all the canbus modules as spares. Something to seriously consider.

One thing I have learned teaching people about reliability and heavy equipment maintenance around the world is "start with the cheap, easy and obvious before going into the obscure, challenging and expensive". My approach for this will be. 1- EGR valve and temp sensor with no readings (is the...

Hmmm this is going to be a problem!! But also for some reason there is no feedback from the EGR. Think I will attach the EGR problem plus check fuel supplies before I work on the engine power side. On the good side it is running well enough on 5 cylinders to get the camping side sorted and...

OK 1- Yes you can get a bike in with the sofa. Probably not my K1200LT or RT but most dual sports would fit. (also this is fitted with the extra hitch tubes for the RV motorcycle lifts). 2- The hitch would tow 9000 lbs but personally I would probably put triangulated supports further up the...

The only vehicle I have that I will not put a price on. All the rest are for sale at the right $$$$. In the garage photo you cannot see the best bit.

They feel a lot better than any of the others I have installed (except the princess throne). Good enough that I got the approval to leave that one in the passengers side and sell off the princess throne (anyone need a semi seat with only 2500 miles of ******** time :) ). But the cloth does feel good...

Did you see this trailer in the for sale section. Flatbed M116A3, Drop Axles, Runflats, Double-Beadlocks,

You forgot at add "until he starts working on it" [emoji1]

The seat refurbishment was one of the easier jobs done on this truck. Since I had a spare Bostrom or 3 sitting in the garage I grabbed one of those (this was the torture seat originally the drivers seat form the 99 FL60 that nearly crippled me on the trip from Miami to Phoenix). Time from...

Ours is usually just for storing eggs. Only installed a microwave to get our rig titled as an RV but we have used the microwave at least 3 times :). But we do carry a little Honda genset as a backup to the inverter for the espresso machine and to run an electric toaster some mornings. Having...

Not sure this is correct. I have one of the latter aluminum ones and this is the data plate. That would make your trailer less than 500 lbs.

One thing I alway knew I needed to fix before selling this truck was the tow hitch. The original hitch was just a hitch tube welded into the existing bumper. But on our last trip I picked up a couple of axles and a dual axle trailer to carry them. About 4500#. Well it caused a few fatigue cracks...

Last time i saw it there was water, ice, mud up to the floor boards. But the solar kept up with my espresso machine. Or was that the year before.
