Our M1079 gets a 47 inch flat

[@TheGypsyJewess]

brilliant that you back tracked and found it!!! What a team you two are!!!

[@baloodh2000]

You guys rule. Great attitudes. Amazing truck. Hope you had fun!

[@Adventuredriven]

thank you for watching, we love the truck and are having a ball

[@baloodh2000]

Adventure Driven I think I am looking for an M1083 and going to make my own camper. Your video is getting me really excited to buy one!

[@dustinperkins1557]

I love y’alls video on the LMTV me and my wife have been thinking of do the same thing and I haven’t seen to many videos like yours it’s great to watch and get ideas thank y’all

[@Porsche_Past]

I had the same thing happen to me. Need to get covers =)

[@Adventuredriven]

Yes covers would be nice to have

[@timf2279]

Those covers are hard to find the military does not use them on a regular basis.

[@1FiftyOverland]

Reallyally lucky you found the broken one, that's awesome!

[@Adventuredriven]

very lucky

[@OttoMatieque]

yup - the smallest of parts can take down the biggest and strongest of machines. Glad you had a spare part.

[@martinsinclair55]

Lookin at an M1079 in Alberta. The current owner doesn't seem to know much about it. How the hell do you get the heavy spare off the truck and then the flat back up on the truck? Have you figured out an operating cost yet?

[@slamboy66]

I know nothing about these, are the wheel nuts suppose to look like they are half on?

[@Adventuredriven]

Good catch, we changed wheel type so it's ok to look like that, but thanks for asking :)

[@timf2279]

I carry extra CTIS tire assemblies just for such problems.

[@__BERSERKER__]

What did you shoot this on? No bouncing at all when she was running.

[@alexsimon915]

that's sucks.... pretty fragile and exposed part considering it has a very high probability being hit on a rock...

[@burnerjack01]

Curious about using a 1079 for camping, etc. Is it suitable for driving around town? The width makes me wonder if it's 'doable'. How un/comfortable is it while driving? I don't expect it to be a substitute for my Silverado, just wondering how 'uncivilized' it really is. Would appreciate your thoughts on it. Thanks.

[@minh4835]

all that fancy runflat system but a broken valve stem took you down. why would you even need a valve stem when the truck has automatic tire inflation system?

[@WhistleTeets85]

That's why the have shields that cover that valve so that... ohhh maybe it doesn't get snagged on something and get damaged.

[@chippyjohn1]

why do you need an external valve if the truck has on board inflation, you are better off having a bolt in there that doesn't protrude so much and just have the valves as back ups in case on board air compressor fails

[@scabskunk]

Are you guys using the aluminum rims? My lug nuts look different then yours. I must keep my eyes out for the CTIS hub shield.

[@Adventuredriven]

Yes we just got the aluminum M wrap wheels, takes those lug nuts to make it work. Yes a shield would be good

[@scabskunk]

Nice. I was looking at the aluminum rims but was hesitant to get them. Did you replace the standard studs on the hubs?

[@Adventuredriven]

we did not replace them, all is stock

[@scabskunk]

Good to know. I will be looking for a set soon then. The regular rims on tires are just a bit heavy.

[@baum525]

fyi you could of put in to emergency mode and you could keep going without fix And the screw in the middle of the cap also is a on and off for that wheel

[@Jim80470]

Funny......not really......but when we were sitting around camp at OX, we were speculating.......How are they gong to change a flat? Luckily, just a small part on hand to reinflate rather than change. Shwew doggies !

[@Adventuredriven]

yes very lucky I put that part in the truck as a spare, we have changed a tire on Brutus, not super easy but we have a system down now

[@Venom2U]

Yes torx bits make great easy outs. Just be careful when the broken ________ doesn't want to come out. Because if you break a torx bit off in there............... Well now there's a hardened piece of steal in there too now........... Don't ask how I learned that lesson :P

[@jamesnoname5851]

Is your m1078 street legal? Do you need a cdl to drive it?

[@jamesnoname5851]

How hard was it to purchase?

[@Adventuredriven]

Yes, it is street legal & here in AZ no CDL is necessary.

[@Adventuredriven]

Not difficult at all, the guy we bought it from was great. He & his wife liked to camp & take it to local military truck rallies. He sent us lots of pictures & videos of it. He even did a video of him going through the full cold startup procedure to driving it on & off road. We were impressed with the details he showed us, the good & the bad, he didn't hide anything. It was exactly what he portrayed it to be. We had it shipped on a Low Boy hauler from South Carolina for about 4K.

[@zoti]

I was about to say you were putting it in backwards.

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

You got to make do with what you have. Nice. I'll know what to do if that happens to mine.

[@Adventuredriven]

yup, got to make it work, pleased with the outcome

[@gsoglo]

Thanks a lot you bastages! Now I'm searching for a m1079! Btw, what's the code for the great wife; m1079 gw? Very rare indeed! Thanks for posting these vids!

[@pbodymathis]

Faster!

[@jpsjpsjpsjps]

not sure if these will fit with your current rims, but worth a look: www.ebay.com/i/222672840006?rt=nc

[@Adventuredriven]

Thank you, yes we need those bad, I will check into it for sure :)

[@farmallskittle]

Cause it's military grade it sucks
