We are selling our beloved LMTV to downsize for the next chapter of our lives. We have lovingly built, maintained, and lived in the truck over the last 3 years. She will make an excellent starting point for a new rig. As she sits, a flatbed camper designed for an 8-foot bed could be installed, or the flatbed could be removed and she will accommodate a 15’ habitation box. We are happy to consult on this process.
The truck is mechanically sound with a recently rebuilt engine, low miles, and a four-year extended warranty with towing coverage from CAT. She is not your typical LMTV with 20+ year old components. The truck was up-fitted into an Acela Monterra in 2018 via their rigorous Certified Reset Program including a 300-point inspection and 600+ new parts. In addition, we have continued to inspect and improve her over the last 3 years. The bulk of the work was completed in summer of 2019, unless noted otherwise. See the list of upgrades and custom fabrications below. All work has been performed in a high-quality manner with careful attention to detail to ensure the original specifications of the truck are maintained. This includes approach/departure angles, ground clearance, weight distribution, and overall dimensions.
The subframe was designed so that a flatbed, as currently configured, or a habitation box can be interchanged as needed. However, almost anything could be built on the subframe to accommodate a variety of needs. The storage boxes, tire carrier, and rear fender wells are all connected to the subframe so changing out the function of the cargo area is as simple as releasing the four corner connections and disconnecting the wiring harnesses. The design intent is that this 2.5-ton truck can meet almost any need. Message us for additional information or pictures.
