Okay, long story short, I have been in the military for almost 30 years, these rigs have been rolling around runways all over the world the whole time. They are designed for maintenance and easy to work on. I mean, they are easy for me to work on. I have heard other complain, but always found them to be both challenging and rewarding to maintain. When the opportunity came about to purchase this one, I jumped at it.
I have already swapped out the terrible 25" split rims for 20" HEMTT wheels which opens up tire options and ease of replacement. The next big thing to accomplish is to remove the power transfer unit between the engine and transmission that drives the water pump. They are known for failures and I don't need it on an expedition rig.
The water tank and associated plumbing will all be removed as well.
The driver's seat and steering colum will be moved to the far left position, cause I like sitting by the window when driving. At least moving the air brake pedal and air throttle will be easy.
Mostly, lots of work ahead, but it is my midlife crisis vehicle.
