If you are concerned about getting it positioned in regards to the lug studs, a standard full size shovel under the tire makes it easy-breezy. Tons of leverage up/down and wiggle side to side. No problem with the 46" XZL (300+ lbs) on my 1017AF If you have a pivot point type spare mount (below...

I don't know if it is as practicable on a COE truck, but on my C4500 Kodiak, the running boards are reachable (24"), but I add a foldaway step so when around town and 'smoother terrain', I can have a lower step and with rough terrain, just fold it up and pin in place. (photos taken during...

If you are going to build your own, you might consider something with 'flex', so if/when you hit something with them, they don't bend/break. Link chain (vary size according to your needs) Cable (you can tailor the cable diameter to your needs) Rubber (old OTR truck mud flaps that have fiber...

If you are already in deep with a $2,867 bumper I can certainly see that $4,467 (before adding any other doodads AND shipping) is a hunk of change. If you have a local fabrication shop, you certainly could take some of the photos of the guard and see what they would charge to build you one. And...

I'd bet if you posted an 'I'd like to check out your xxxxxx camper' here on the Expo Portal, not only would you find a fellow Expo member close to you to let you check out their xxxxxx camper, but you could get a lot of first hand feedback from them in person to their likes and dislikes...

@lanceatm sorry for the thread drift, but at least a lot of 'bumping' :rolleyes:

I was very careful to use the term rig and even added ' ' to make it stand out. Although I feel like a troglodyte as I had to look up the meaning of phantasy or perhaps it is just because I was born post 1883? ;)

Yup. As far as spares 'Two is one, one is none'. What flattened you front tire might flatten your rear tire. With one spare, if you use it, now you need to plan you travels as if you have no spare (since you don't), two will give you way more options. Plus two spares is WAY MORE 'Expo' that a...

1/3 +/- of your posts are hyping a 'rig' you want to sell, yet you ask a legitimate business owner/builder/innovator for advise that you want to be in the same market with, in their thread? :rolleyes:

I was impressed with my MB1017AF, tilting cab for access to everything and a front grill that opened for access to oil, water, fluids, quick inspection

A few questions (and a bump) Is the Timbren suspension original to the trailer, or an upgrade to what the Air Force was using? What is the lug nut pattern, 6x?? Tire size? Tire track width? Is there a spare wheel/tire? Are the brakes electrical, and is there a battery for them? What is the...

I was suspicious of that 'new fangled electronic magic' on my 2002 FG, but every time I verified it's reading via the dipstick it was spot on. Certainly promotes checking the oil level daily, especially for what started life as a commercial delivery truck.

AWESOME. It is always great to see another TopKick/Kodiak project. (y)
