We can't believe this truck got us the 1,200 miles with ZERO issues...except for some very sore butts! 😉 🚨 Have you checked out our most recent Time-lapse video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hImtmmCcbcSUY5Y

For the record, military convoys typically stop every 2 hours for axle cool down. Also, for the record, we bring seat cushions for extended convoys. Get "Purple" seat cushion -- highly recommended and typically found in truck stops.

[@manganvbg90]

Or just put in comfy seats :)

[@aaotcis]

Professional truckers see these trucks frequently, and there is an assumption that they are typically limited to 55mph. The perception that they see you at first glance is you're miltary, and as such, they also expect miltary trucks to operate a certain way. They (military trucks) only operate in the right lane and in accordance with standard military protocols which is to say, you will be passed by truckers on the left. Just FYI.

[@joelmcintyre3061]

Welcome to the life of a trucker. Now imagine your 70 plus feet long. I love the drive you took. Long one in your truck. Good job.

[@rickmacpherson1413]

You guys are awesome beyond words! You guys are following and living your dreams which in its self beyond words. Driving an Army vehicle the distance that you did is an adventure in its self. Looking 👀 forward to seeing and following your adventures.

[@murraysmith3882]

I am ex N.Z. army driver and own/drive an ex N.Z. army Mercedes Benz 6x4 called "the double dually super ute" as well as commercial trucks for work. The drivers seat seems wrong, even in military trucks you should have some shock absorbing bounce. Air seats are a needless luxury so most seats have a variable spring setup. Look under the drivers seat for a big round knob with a visable weight scale on it. The idea is that you screw in and out to compress the spring and get some bounce according to your weight. I,ve jumped into many trucks with the seat wound down hard coz drivers are all looking for the air adjust and think the seat its busted.

[@10760910eugenioyoutu]

Advice for your ice to last longer: A) Install a variable speed control to the fan, the lower the speed the longest the ice will last b) Install an automatic 1 minute on- 30 sec off type - fan driver, decreasing the duty cycle will help the ice to last longer, greetings from Guadalajara jalisco !

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Great tip!

[@wildflowernetwork366]

Adding salt to the ice would make it last longer.

[@mikewilliams8151]

To make your cooler last longer. Mix salt and water in a jug. Freeze for a few days. It will freeze any items next to it. Like coke can

[@stephentaylor280]

My friends and I when we would go to a bar we would order a bucket of ice with bottled beer inside. We brought rock salt with us to the bar and would sprinkle rock salt over the ice. It would freeze the ice and we had damn good cold beer ! Rock salt on !

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That is such a great idea!

[@madsciencegary3830]

Courtney has the coolest mom ever. Not only did she drive your dogs 1200 miles trailing behind you, she did it with a smile and even did jumping jacks with you.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That is Riley’s Mom and she rocks! We can’t believe she said yes when we asked if she wanted to tag along on the road trip with us!

[@06LightYearsAway]

That was an epic journey! I got emotional at the end 😂 Riley's mom is such a legend, so glad to see you all made it. My partner and I love watching your videos in New Zealand! We just purchased a motorhome shell on the back of a truck to do up and found your RV videos for inspo. We kept watching because your content is so fantastic!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We knew we couldn't fail with that many people rooting for us... 😉 We wish you many epic adventures in your camper and safe travels!!

[@asogamormaterno55]

My advice to replace your diy AC and install a permanent cooling system you can put up a normal car AC on it and have plenty more space under the hood for the compressor and install the AC system at the back of the cabin also your truck have a auto tire inflation system that when your tires on low or flat you can inflate it by a push of a button inside its connected on your air brake system you should try it

[@vampireslayer1989]

You guys are great. I just finished helping a buddy drive a Penske moving truck pulling a car trailer from Houston to Seattle. We went through Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. 69 and 75 years young. Your trip reminded me of our recent adventure.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That sounds like an awesome drive, as long as you had a/c! 😉

[@theirthereandtheyre2947]

I remember driving the deuce and a half in the National Guard. Fun stuff 👍

[@AmbitionStrikes]

They are loud, bumpy, FUN trucks! 😉

[@Mike-hb4pc]

I feel your pain. That was a long trip. Two things: (1) Get yourself one of those infrared laser handheld temperature gauges like A/C repairman uses. Great for checking axle temps, tire temps, and all kinds of things. (2) MAKE SURE when you tip that cab forward there is nothing loose in the cab that can come crashing forward as the cab is lifted and bust out the windshield. That would really s#ck! Cheers,

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Yes! I was kicking myself for not grabbing the temp gun!

While I remember driving 6x6 when I was in the National Guard and the governors being set to 55 which mysteriously changed to 65 every time we left the yard for more than a weekend.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

55 doesn't sound that slow until you have to drive it... 😂

[@OmegaWalple]

@@AmbitionStrikes yes I know it is very very mind numbing and frustrating. Before the mid 90's in Oklahoma the speed limit on the highways was 55 before they upped it to 65.

[@thedocisin3204]

Love your M1078 LMTV. I did the 3:07 gear swap in mine and added sound deadening materials well. It helped a bit. I use Dave Clark aviation headsets for communication and have it wired for music as well. I love my truck, I haul and atv in the rear as well as 2 transfer tanks for diesel and gasoline. Enjoy the ride.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Those are some much needed upgrades!

[@cattleguy]

@thedocusin3204 do you still have your LMTV? I would very much love to know if have experienced any electrical or axle issues and if you still love it.

[@michaelprosperity3420]

Love it. The guys in all the Army Motorpools are gonna love this.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

😊

[@stephenbland7461]

Great vid. Many years ago I purchased an ex army truck with poor lighting, manual gear box, no heater, no power steering and off road tyres, and drove it home overnight 300 miles at 45mph. Best drive of my life because I actually had to drive it all the time rather than with my van with cruise control and power steering. Glad it was a clear sky with a full moon so I could see better!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

They are very fun to drive but I do know that Riley was quite tired by the time we made it here!

[@banff9391]

Another funny and fascinating insight. Riley's mum is a true star, all that driving and she still had a big smile at the end. Now get to work you guys. :)

[@AmbitionStrikes]

She's up for any adventure! We're very appreciative of her bringing up the rear.

[@kastenolsen9577]

For the Igloo AC I suggest taking dry ice in ziplock bags and place them in the center, vertically. It will make the ice last longer.

[@AM-ni3sz]

In Australia, kangaroos are a problem when driving. The official response when you see a roo is, break (try to lose as much speed as possible without locking up), s Ride the horn (roos will flee from sound) and drive straight ( it is better to hit a roo than drive off the road and hit a tree). The research shows more people die trying to avoid hitting roos than hitting roos. Each time we are driving at night and see a Roo sign or see roos on the road, my wife and I remind each other of the rule so that it is second nature. Two days age I hit a roo ( only the 4 roo in my 35 years of driving) and did everything correct. Unfortunately the roo crossed back in front of me at the last moment and I hit it straight on. The bull bar pushed it off and it disappeared into the bush. I read a story years back that a British backpacker lost her life when she hit a roo and tried to save it. The impact occurred on a bend in the road. A truck appeared on the road and impacted the backpacker and injured roo, both died. Stay safe.

[@kimnewton9299]

add salt to the ice to make it colder

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Yes!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

@@Countrylifeprojects salt depresses the freezing point of water, so it makes the ice water colder. However it will also melt the ice faster. So if we were to add salt to our "AC" it would blow colder air, but for less time.

[@throngcleaver]

@@Countrylifeprojects That's how an home ice cream maker freezes the mixture. Dang. Now I want homemade ice cream!

[@tacituskilgore1211]

Ah fellow Idahoans Howdy from your Owyhee County neighbor to the south! I drive an LMTV for MRW Fire District, outfitted with a 900 gallon water tank and pumps and let me tell you driving one of those form more than a few miles is something else. I love LMTVs so much. Definitely take a break every couple hours for those hubs and the axles to cool down, and hit the deer next time. It's them vs a 2.5 ton truck built for combat and, as you learned, you can't just hit the breaks in an LMTV. That much weight up top is the biggest rollover risk a vehicle could have. Y'all stay safe up north now

[@PaulSinnema]

Love you guys. What an epic story this is. You've done so much, learned so much, endured so much, you deserve the very best. Wish you all love and fun at your newly handmade home. Enjoying all the footage you share.

[@treetopflyersofva2]

I can see the dinner table story with the family years from now. “The I hope we make it to Idaho in the army truck” story where mom had to stop and clean her pants out because her son was practicing army truck drifting on the highway. The dogs got us a disturbing the peace ticket at a motel and finally it takes 55 lbs of ice to keep cool when traveling 1200 miles. Only you all could make a long hot trip so exciting. Glad you made it with the dogs and mom safely. Maybe you can talk mom and dad into moving near you. Thanks for another awesome video!

Waving etiquette: 1) trucks always wave to trucks, including pickup trucks. 2) you don't waggle your hand. In fact, you don't even remove your hand from your steering wheel. You just raise your fingers so your hand is flat. If it's somebody you know, you just raise your index finger. 3) You can wave to motorcycles, but you have to have your hand out your window, and you just stretch it out, palm forward, fingers open, forearm slightly down. Yes, waving is complicated. Oh, and if you're bicycling, you don't wave. You just look at the other bicyclist and nod your head.

I was guessing, Boise, Nampa, Lewiston or somewhere around the Hayburn area but when I saw coming from California and probably took the Weed exit and hit US60 (oops I ment US97) I grew suspicious. What finally nailed it was the Pasco sign, you have to take I-82 and head north from there taking a road I dont remember headed to Spokane. I knew then somewhere around Lewiston.

You two can buy this for the cab of the truck RV A/C's & Heaters | Camping World also you can swap out the rear axle for one from trailier that way have to stop every two hours to let rear cool down and the axle are from 18 wheel trailer or from a wrecked 18 wheel truck.

Congrats! Curious as to the total fuel cost/mpg for this trip?

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We ended up spending $600 to go 1,200 miles! I think we were getting about 9 mpg.

Change your seats out with recaro seats since your running an air system in your vehicle and you can run an inversion valve on your pedal system to run cruise control or a relay set up installing a push button on the steering wheel to remove the cruise control like a clock wheel on the column

Cool! You made it! I am heading from NY to my property in northern Nevada end of next month. Only 60 miles from Idaho.. Not in an army truck,but in a 33 yr old 1 ton Ford flatbed. Oh and I have to go by way of Arizona and pick up some things... .
