Thanks for the GLWS and feedback all, and especially your kind words Mike.

I totally missed this. Thanks!
I assume it means the mounts are there, but he doesn't have the hammock itself?

Correct, I don't have the sling setup from the first owner. The 2 pairs of silver mounts can be seen in the last 3 pictures in the first post, they're positioned about sofa-wide. Unless I'm incorrect (happy to be told I'm wrong) that it's not a sling-type add'l bed for 1, I have no idea what the heck they'd be for.

Love all the engine work. Done under your ownership? Did it make noticeable impact on how it drives/fuel efficiency?whats the range with 90 gallons of fuel? 900ish?

Yes indeed, it's one of the many reasons I focused on this particular EarthRoamer. Having had a 6.0L in a previous E350 4WD (that was only minorly bulletproofed at the time), I wanted my next 6.0L (this XV-LT) to be FULLY bulletproofed at least. This is that--done by the previous owner--for reliability and peace of mind. With this 6.0L, I also appreciate that I don't have to deal with the DEF/DPF/SCR issues as seen on the more complicated newer diesels.

It drives really well, plenty of power. I've not tested any upper limits as I drive it gentler to try to maximize efficiency, in Tow/Haul mode especially when there are inclines, always monitoring EGTs and adjusting my driving to keep them below ~1200degF as quickly as possible (I added the MBRP exhaust to also help reduce EGTs).

~900+mi for range, depending on terrain and how heavy your right foot is.
