I've installed four MRCOOL unit's to date, including replacing the *entire central A/C system in my late mother's former home.* Best of all on that one, her old system used a 10kW resistance heater strip for heat. The replacement MRCOOL is able to heat down to -24°F, so no need for a resistance heater coil. My mom's electricity consumption was cut in half! MRCOOL systems rock!
That truck upgrade is way cool. Perhaps you could convert the old truck to become a water tanker/fire truck. It would give you fire fighting and an income option to hire out.
I was just thinking about this. It's small enough to get into a lot of places that bigger water haulers can't get to. either beef up or add stand alone air compressor system and electrical system to consider running a welding box or air tools, extra fuel storage maybe, then a big 'ol water tank and pump system. maybe a winch or two for recovery options. then you have a robust repair or fab support truck with a lot of water available as well, an all in one utility for offgrid neighbors or friends. power, water, tool support - it'd have it all!
@@AmbitionStrikes Andy is a good help, hope to see more of these Projects in the future 😁. Where is he from? I'd say UK but he use the metric system so...
Andy is great and obviously helps inspire Reilly to be even better than ever!!! Fun to hear the accent and the camouflage pants are fun . Dump truck shirts ✅
Best episode ever! Having converted a dozen trucks into dump trucks over the years, I'm well aware of the amount of work involved. You guy's did an excellent job.
I would love to see the "LONG" version of this where you include all of the deliberations, the conversations, the mistakes, the LONGGG version. Would learn more and love every minute of it! This is my favorite channel!
I am actually so jealous that you got your hands on a mk29 bed. You may want to reprogram your TCM to not jake brake as aggressivly on the highway by changing the target gear on the TCM to 5 rather than 2. Also adjusting your ctis pressures unloaded would be a good idea because of the new added empty weight. Good work. 505 hp tune will also wake the truck up ALOT.
Not sure if the subbies are for the Americans or the rest of us on the British Isles 😉 Kidding, of course. The Americans would never understand my Brummie accent.
Excellent job on the conversion! It turned out nice. The rear steering axel will be incredibly nice for those tight spots. Your LMTV would make for a great wildland fire truck if your local fire department is as stretched as thin as ours is down here. Keep up the good work!
As a marine this was badass to watch man. Turning some old 7Ton into a dump truck. Eraah. WATCHED IT ALL!! You’re a very smart man. Thanks for the content.
Just a suggestion - You should change out all of the wheels on your roll-around tool carts, welding machine cart, and plasma cutter, to all terrain tires so you don't have to continually lay down plywood in order to move things across gravel and rock. Would be beneficial when working remotely as well. Would make a fun video to watch!
Depending on the weight of what he has in it you might not be able to find pneumatic tires for it unless they are WAY BIGGER! I think even the 10" tires only hold like 440 lbs. A tool box that size can easily weigh thousands of lbs! 🤔 😕 😌
@@wesman7837 Obviously weight is a factor. I assumed that went without saying. I wouldn't expect those tires to be suitable for a mechanics roll around toolbox. I was speaking from experience with the welding carts, tool carts, etc.
Dont forget to pull that netting over loose material/rock when hauling, the ticket will be costly if not, not to mention broken windshields and accidents it could cause.
Great video,it was nice to see you also had a chain hooked up to the dump body and the escalator bucket for extra safety measures. I wouldn't put my trust and life on the line with just the two metal supports you had holding up that 5 ton truck bed. Good call ,stay safe.
@@dmwi1549That would have been wonderful for the road build! That was definitely a missed opportunity! It would be great for slide in water tanks for a fire suppression tanker truck though! He could probably put 3,000 gallons in the trailer and 4,000 gallons on the truck and put a pump with water cannon and sprayers on each corner that could also be used to wet down the road when super dusty! 🤔 😬 😳
I don’t understand what you are talking about when you are troubleshooting a problem and coming up with your solution, but it doesn’t matter, I love when it all comes together for success! I think you also found the perfect partner for when Courtney can’t be there for you!! Love you guys!!
Super cool build one of your best videos.. Keep them coming i enjoy fabricating thing and welding , but I'm in no way set up with a computer plasma cutter, very neat tool ..

Andy needs to be a regular on the channel. What great energy!
Amazing project guys. Though that off road welding cart project is seriously needed I think. You guys certainly would have had a lot of use out of it. Living the dream guys for all of us. Keep going🏴🇬🇧
Here in Sweden we have used those mini splits for more than 30 years. Mostly for heat. Nowadays we use the same principle, but with boreholes 100-200 meters deep into the ground. Works great for both heating in the winter and cooling in the summer.
spacers are from the snowverlander.. right? lol Love the content from you guys. Watching your progress has been getting me through a rough time in my life so thanks for sharing your adventures.
The bolts that you try to take off are huck bolts, you will never get them off so always start by cutting. The nuts are pulled down then hydraulically crimped on
Love the dump truck and love the LMTV. The original reason I started watching your channel was because I was interested in LMTV's, but now I love watching all your projects, Thank you so much. Rollie
Yup standing back and admiring your successful project actually become fully functional is awesome. Great engineering skills and fabrication at your mountain top shop. Go for it!
Hey that’s a great truck build!! If I can give you a tip on tailgating stone from a guy who has done quite a bit of it. Get the box up first before you unlock the tailgate so the stone is all at the back of the box. This will help it come out even when you unlock the gate. I know you showed you manually unlocking it from the back so it probably wasn’t an option but for the future give it a try. You will be surprised at how much better the stone comes out. Good luck and keep up the great work!!
Please invest in a couple of fall arrester's for the bi-fold door before someone gets injured or worse. They come in many weight capacities. You would mount them at the top of the frame work for door and then to the bottom. It will amaze you how fast the door could fall.
@@olenilsen4660 A fall arrester is a device that is permanently mounted at the top of the door and has a large cable that would be mounted at the bottom to the door. If the door were to free fall the arrester would stop all downward movement. The arrester needs to properly sized for the load. That being said it needs to mounted to a strong point of the building. On your second point it sounds like the cables for the door are undersized for the load.
Love the project! I wish we had the means to make you an offer on the LMTV for our homestead. We look forward to seeing what you do with them in the future.
Riley, you have the best wife ever. Either turn that LMTV into a fire water truck, or sell it to fu d a fire water truck. You NEED one. Fire is no joke.
I'm living the life I wish I had, vicariously, through you. Thank you so much for your videos and your ambition! I agree with the conversion of the LMTV to water truck.
Spacer at about 25 minutes is there to make the bolt longer so it can srteach and not break due to fatigue. I have seen this at my job and got that instructed to me.
You might not need it but I would put a set of winches on the truck front and back you never know it might come in handy when you get some equipment stuck
Now's the time to modify the LMTV bed with some brackets. you can keep the dump bed on it, it'll make it easier to load/unload things on it. Make some mounting brackets for a fire suppression tank, grass sprayer, welder/generator, etc. Turn it into a tool/emergency truck since it's so reliable. And since you don't need it to be a dump truck anymore, you can mount brackets all around the bed without having to clean it out all the time. It'll be perfect for taking supply trips also, and helping the neighbors out in the winter.
Your shop with an attached apartment is supper cool and I to have been inspired by RR Buildings so much so that I'm building a version of your building which is also like RR Buildings new Dream Shop. You were the first to do it. I think that maybe RR Buildings designed his shop after seeing your video's.
@sevenisin depends on the state. Not all states require loads have the tarp down. Here one in a thousand trucks even has the tarp, and of those that do they never use them because they don't work.
😎Reilly I think you are luckier than most to have some of these plans work so well. All I can think is that your prep plans are researched way more than you document on the show. 😎
The tube like spacers to mount the bed on the subframe are in order to get more bot length which gives more flex stretch etc to the bolt because of increased length
That is great converting the army semi truck into a dump truck but what you gonna do with that old Orange dump truck whatever is left of it did you pulled with the skid steer? Maybe chop off the front part and make it into a tow hitch so that the army dump truck to it as the secondary dump trailer you just need the back part with the wheels and the dump bed and just make a hitch tow hitch in front, welded to it and Airlines and hydraulic pump that’s controlled from the army dump truck.
The spacers on the mid-bolts allow a longer bolt to be used, which means more distance for stretch in the bolt, which is what keeps it from working loose under harsh conditions. Without the spacer, the short clamping distance would mean very little stretch in the bolt overall, and it would likely work loose under severe use.

*Dumpbed needs 24' higher sidewalls.*
