Hi LeeWhay,
We are going with a habitat box from Total Composites. I guess, it depends on how much time you want to put into the box, but we decided that Total Composites was the best way for us to get exactly what we wanted in a layout. Andreas Schwall from Total Composites is super...
I've always liked that truck. That's a good price for someone looking at a rig that size.

I had an e-mail conversation back and forth with the owner lasts night. He was prompt and polite. I asked that he posted actual photos, so he did lasts night.
It's a good looking truck. It's in Mill Valley, CA. He has had it for 3 years. The truck was serviced by EarthRoamer last winter...
I contacted the seller. It took a lot of effort to convince him to send me current photos of it.
It is in Lake Isebela, CA (not Marina del rey). He will not say if it has slow or fast axles. I'm a little skeptical that it has California plates.
These are the photos that he sent me...
That photo is also from the ER's web site. It seems odd to post something so expensive on CL and then not even put any actual photos of it.
I just sent them an e-mail requesting some more photos.... We'll see if they write back.

We did a lot of cleanup work to the cab interior, but it is basically the stock configuration. Here are links that include photos from the time frame when we were working inside the cab:

We just posted an actual for sale thread with more info on the truck.

It's been a really hard decision for us, but after much discussion we have decided to sell our LMTV. Our LMTV is awesome, but we're not sure we have the energy to complete the construction of a large hab for this LMTV. We went to Overland...
Hi Jack,
That was us at Expo West. It's been a really hard decision for us, but after much discussion we have decided to sell our awesome LMTV. We still want to travel more, but we have decided that purchasing a smaller vehicle might be best for us.
The truck is super clean and really...
We've been makings steady progress, but you can really start to see it come together recently. All the painting is done and we are starting to reassemble all the refurbished parts.

A little update. The project is coming along well. We finished all the frame painting last week. It was a ton of work, but it turned out quite nice. We just started cab paint prep this weekend.
We are making steady progress on our truck. We got the back portion of the frame painted (we made a nice painting enclosure), and we got several of the wheels assembled. It's all turning out quite nice.
I'm really pleased with how the silver power coated wheel rims look with the XZLs and...
A little update. I've been a little behind on keeping this post up to date, but for current info, check out our build blog.
We've been making really good progress. We have everything to re-assemble the wheels now. All the parts are in really great shape with all new tires, hardware, and...
I've been thinking about the value of the fuel in our tank as well. I think we will stick with the stock fuel tank for now and possibly upgrade later.
I was also thinking of adding a second tank behind the stock tank, but we opted to mount an under bed cargo box there instead.

Like Coachgeo said, the bed is probblay a bit over 5 feet off the ground.
However, unloaded, the frame rails are 54.75 inches off the ground at the back end and about an inch lower behind the cab (the vehicle is nose heavy unloaded). We removed the bed, and our habitat will be on a flexible...
