Putting a call out to anyone on here who does CAT ECM reflashes. I would like to take my C7 as high as is possible with a factory tune. I am currently at 330hp, and have heard conflicting numbers that I can reflash to 350, 360, or 375 with a cooled turbo. I don't know if any of those numbers...

My truck is heavy, and this capability would be awesome. Any thoughts on ETA to market? Edit- sorry just saw your comment on no ETA. these would be great, you'll sell a set to me for sure

Native camping around the country, and possibly living in it full-time at some point. It's an awesome truck, the least fun thing with it so far has been coming down the mountains. You have to be paranoid with a 1087, and have a rigid checklist for when you open and close the box. Do it wrong...

The 1087 box is almost 9k pounds by itself. It is built insanely stiff and heavy with the slideouts. The slideout system is the beefiest one I have ever seen and generates car crushing levels of torque when it closes/opens. The other 1087 there had completely ripped off one of its floors...

It doesn't look like a 1087 anymore because I pulled the front off the habitat and expanded the box 6 feet to the cab. Haven't weighed the axle and have no broken springs. Measurements were taken off another unloaded 1087 suspension that is also being converted. I have 600 pounds of lithium...

I wonder if it wouldn't be easiest to go under the rubber stacks. I'd love to see the spring pack on the 10 ton dump but can't find any photos of it. I was able to verify it's on the same axles.

I'm thinking of machining a 1.75" steel block to insert between the top of the spring pack and the pivot. Would need to get some longer u bolts made too. If anyone knows this would be a terrible idea please let me know. Still got Colorado mud all over the truck from the drive back

those might work. my problem on the 6x6 is the rear suspension pivots forward and rear a significant amount as it walks over things

I couldn't find any info on whether or not this has been done, but has anyone ever lifted the rear of an fmtv? My 1087 is now fully converted to an rv, and with 600 lbs of batteries behind the rear axle I have slightly more deflection than I would like. In my case, a lift would not impact...

I put a Garmin Tread into my truck and a back-up camera, but cannot for the life of me figure out where to tie in for reverse to kick the camera on. Has anyone done this before or do you have any suggestions? This is an A1R truck. I would prefer to have it tied to reverse as oppposed to the...

[ The water/electrical will run in a similar fashion to the original electrical flex lines that were there. It would have been near impossible to do a more significant build out without fixing them. I have been in a 1087 conversion prior to starting my own, and he left his floors in place...

The structure in thee photos is the bamboo ply framing. The cabniet faces will be a product called Sugar Lineal Palm Plywood by dura palm. once all of that is in, the bamboo will largely not be seen.

Truck is coming along, hopefully the finish line is ~90 days out. Most of the major engineering hurdles have now been cleared or figured out. Converting a 1087 is not for the faint of heart. Last thing I am figuring out is how to make the box expansion electric. There are inputs to the...

I need to replace 5 of my tires before I start road tripping my truck hard, and have found some sources for tires none of which are really reasonable 600-900 for 2018 dot. Anyone have a good source for new tires 2018 dot and up?
