Not sure about Ross but I would be very happy if you can find some info. Thanks

I think I found the answer on my trip out East. The tach gauge reads about 10% higher than the monitoring tool attached which reads from the engine. (1900 on the gauge at 65 v actual 1680 on the monitor). SO I am figuring there is a manual somewhere that tells you how to swap those DIP switches...

Thanks Scooter I will keep that in mind. While the Mad Max side of my brain wants to tear into getting this 4WD my rational side is telling me it's camping season in AZ and to leave it alone and just enjoy it like it is for now. Not sure which one is going to win out [emoji848] But I think I...

With the strength of the ambo box you could fit truck camper type jacks. You would need to get underneath and unbolt it each time (if reusing the existing mounts) but if building it to a subframe your options open up. Obviously normal truck camper jacks may need some extensions.

Wiring will be the only issue. Just check carefully the chassis rail width. I am discovering what I thought was a standard width for medium duty trucks is not that standard. Also I think with the LMTV you may be able to remove both the bed and that other subframe it sits on dropping your...

Just be careful it doesn't have the Mercedes engine. If it's a Cummings or Cat and the mileage ok then it's a bargain.

Yep 2 steer axles to make it 4WD and maybe 4 wheel steer in the future (only a few degrees) but that is way in the future. For now it is just seeing if I can fit them under the rig. Basic tape measure engineering says yes but physics will rule the day. One of the issues will be just moving these...

For those that are wondering how comfortable these vehicles are to travel in. We just did 355 miles in 5:45 in a single sitting (no stops). No complains from the other half.

Good description Rider Bloke. When you put it like that it might be an acquired taste (like those grits, hush puppies and fried okra they tried to poison me with this week). For our family the first solid food we had was vegemite on a crust. The good news is that having been raised on it we...

More details on the table please

The table is a piece of ply hooked on using an old set of Thule mounts. The Thule table was not long enough to go over the wheel arch on this rig.

Ok the treasure hunt involved buying a new trailer to transport a couple of these.

Eating like this too often leads to diet "root" [emoji482]

I will have some more "awesomeness" for you tomorrow. And there are enough there for all of us!!!! Interested in seeing how long the prep takes you. There was an ambo at Expo East done with bed liner which looked like an option for those of us with crappy bodywork and paint. Oh wait a second...

Roughing it

Thanks guys. In the middle of Texas at the moment. On an Expo Rig treasure hunt. Details to follow but it involves buying a trailer to get it home.

Great meeting you guys. Safe travels home and thanks for the tour of your fantastic rig.

Good news was that Matthew didn't impact us too much. Rain and a bit of wind but nothing to really dampen the expo. Better report to follow but here is where we roughed it.

Made it. Not enough cell service to post photos. But 2250 miles at 50 mph average and 10.4 mpg. And when I get a chance I will post the video of the smoking brakes from coming down the hills in the Smokey Mountain National Park.
