    FMTV rear suspension lift

    Don't sweat that Dwight, mine was the same way. Load it up and you're good to go. I also removed a leaf from the spring pack, but that honestly may have not been necessary.

    FMTV rear suspension lift

    You could shim your stack at the outer ends, or make a spacer (x4) to go on top of the rubber stacks:

    LMTV Fun

    Awesome setup, love the "Westy"! I like the out of the box thinking (pun was coincidental, but definitely intended now!).

    AF- You may do best by just starting a new thread to introduce yourself and your rig and start conversing in your own space. You might not be thinking you have enough content to start a dialogue, but you definitely will. First thing I would post on it is to get your driveshafts balanced if...

    M1088 camper conversion

    Thanks, it's been quite the project so far. I thoroughly enjoyed getting the box built and useable, but this finish work is tedious. Doing these drawers takes so much time and precision, but when they work... it's fabulous! Sounds like you're at the start of your build. Keep working through...

    Check out my drawers!!! And more progress in the dinette area: Building this crap is SO much work, but the results are very satisfying! Also got more wall finishing done:

    CTIS Connector issue

    I had controller issues and it became unresponsive. I was pointed toward (and installed) the Ronmar CTIS system and haven't thought twice about chasing down another controller. It is a great mod with ability to set the pressure to whatever you actually want- just don't leave it on inflate or...

    Wife requested lower drawers get white instead: I do like it better... Moving on to galley area this week. Hope to make more strong progress this week, it's become a bit of a mission and I want to get through it!

    CAT 31260 Engine Diagnostic

    As of a while ago, you could get a full set of connectors for ~$500. Look for: Adapter Kit, ICE Test Dearborn Protocol, Data Bus Kit, Probe Set NOS With Disc's Edit: Good grief, they've gotten expensive...

    M1088 camper conversion

    Lacking paint, but making massive progress: Hope to get the screw holes filled and sanded, and then get the whole thing painted over the weekend. This has made a huge difference in the feel of the interior space!

    CTIS bench test harness

    Yeah, be very (VERY) careful here. If there is any resistance, use penetrating oil or some sort of magic to assist. Do not brute force it. The dissimilar metals seem to lock well to each other. Heat may work but be careful with how much as the diaphragm is rubber (and old).

    CTIS bench test harness

    I'll pile on the praise for the Ronmar system. I had an issue and burnt many calories (and wasted a lot of time!) to not find the issue. As a last ditch effort, I got the minimal components required and had the system up and running in an afternoon. Best decision ever. Select whatever...

    M1088 camper conversion

    Hard to say... Might be Sean, but I only know of/about him from his Youtube work. Only local active member I know since Brandon sold his is Rick (The General). There is a MTVR local to me who I met through here, but I don't think he posts much, as well as another 1088 who isn't on the forum.

    Several things that I learned running simulations: Camper Boxes and Shocks

    I forget how many miles I have logged on my 1088, but it's getting close to 20k and just about all with my habitat on it, and I can unequivocally state that porpoising has never been an issue. I do have some sort of imbalance or other sort of tire shake just shy of ~60MPH, but that will...
