Yes. It's not all fun and games...but it's worth it. That's one heck of a streak of bad luck though! Add the high cost of diesel, and it's a Summer to forget for us big guys. Cheers to better days ahead!
Man, your patience with this is ......... impressive. I've wanted to get an LMTV for some time, but, well, California, so...... but i would probably have burnt mine to the ground by now, clearly i just don't have the patience for one.
Awesome solution to the mirror wobble!! I’ve been following you since before I got my lmtv and have bought a lot of the same parts as you including the mirrors and they wobble like crazy!
Note to self, if I ever build a LMTV rig, mount A/C on roof and be very very scared of the dash wiring… I have lots of truck beds “sprayed” but never in a “color”, did not know it was possible to pressure wash the “color” off, live and learn!
I got them from eBay. If I where to do it again I would get the version that mounts top and bellow the window. I like the mirrors, and haven’t had any issues. But for piece of mind long term I’d go with the top and bottom mount. But here is the link to the ones I have www.ebay.com/itm/333281328056?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=CMXzBw4KRSa&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=1UCQqFjyQqa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I am wondering if they just shot over top the bad coat or did the right thing and removed the original. Leaving it on seems like it is just asking for a 3rd trip to them
A gripe about your sound levels. The music during the work montage was annoyingly loud and thumpy after I had adjusted the level to hear your voice clearly.
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm considering getting one of these to build a camper. But i'm trying to figure out the logistics of it first. How hard is it to get parts?
Depends on the parts. The drive train is easy to get but body parts can be a pain. Also anyone considering one of these rigs should talk to their insurance agent first. Insurance is alway a pain depending on where you are.
@@BrokeOverLand I bet. I used to drive these in the Army but we had a platoon of mechanics to fix everything. Now i'm looking into this as a full time RV option but i'm seeing that there is a lot of maintenance haha.
Yep, with proper maintenance they are reliable. But they are still 20+ year old trucks. That spent most of their lives being driven by 19 year olds. :)

Line X of Kirkland making accomodations for bigger trucks starting with yours 👍👍
After mine, I’m not sure they will do another one. It was a pain in the butt for them. :)
I can see why the price of the truck fluctuates. It is like a project mood ring.
Janky? Janky would look at that and say “Man, that’s friggen JANKY”. I love it. :)

Especially on a washboard road.
I feel your pain, gotta love 'em
And there you go off on an adventure with Sean. What could possibly go wrong?

Apparently they normally color match the base coat as well but it was shot in black base and a color coat applied over the top. Live and learn.
I thought the intro was going to be "Welcome to Broke Chad..."
Also, one man's janky is another man's genius
I'm going to use that intro. :)
"one man's janky is another man's genius"...... that sir... is in itself "genius saying"
Can you provide information on where you purchased your exterior mirrors

Chad will you be at the PNW Overland Expo next weekend ?
Yep. We will be there
You look a little tired and I like the jungle gym out in front of the truck
The last couple weeks have been busy. :)
I hope to have more luck with Raptor Liner…
Bummer on the color de-lamination but good on the local shop standing behind their work/product. I hope it is sorted this time.
Totally, they really went out of their way to make it right.
I am wondering if they just shot over top the bad coat or did the right thing and removed the original. Leaving it on seems like it is just asking for a 3rd trip to them
Unfortunately, only time will tell.

Thanks for the feedback.

What brush cage is on your truck? ...want..
It’s a custom one I built. There are videos on how I built it on the channel.
The rack? Bought, homemade?
Home made. I have a few videos on making it in the list if you want to see how I cobbled my way through.
If you didn't have an LMTV, what would you do with your life anyways?
Have money. :)
Anyone else recognize the Jack Ripher intro? XD
I noticed your getting a lot of grays just like me. See what owning an LMTV does to you
I earned every one of those.
@@BrokeOverLand I got a few on you
I used to have greys before I got the truck - now I have mostly none at all 😩🤣😩
Are projects like this ever done?
