people think 4 months is a long time, but it is a crazy short period of time for a build of this quality. Its is ridiculously unbelievable that this was done in 4 months. Hats off to you sir.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful story. You are living my dream. God bless you.

THE WAY YOU JUST TRANFORM INTO SOMETHING SPECIAL IS INCREDIBLE! , ENJOY YOUR TRAVEL MATE👍👍

Any well decorated christmas tree would be gelous on your cab.

Wow unbelievable. You have taken it to a whole new level. Congratulations! I thought my build with Tiffany blue leather and white piping was going to be cool for our Beach overlander. ⛱ We are not worthy we are not worthy! 🙌🙌🙌💥💯💣

Going to miss the unimog that was a great truck. But you're new one is cool too.

Wow. I think that has got to be the best looking interior upgrade I have seen yet. I really like the material you used on the dash and door and the way you put the emblem from the grille on the dash is next level. The only down side I could see for me is losing the middle seat but other than that I absolutely love the way you have it set up. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the ideas I’ve got a 1083 and a cab remodel is on the short list

The quality of your build again is fantastic. Well done, & be proud of it as it’s def a nice build 👍👍

This is my favorite KZfaq channel. I’m thinking that I might own a truck in the future:)…the things we don’t know that we need in our lives:)

placed a bid none of of these. Its in Hawaii though so now I am having second thoughts and hoping no get out bid because of shipping costs lol. I love what you have done with this vehicle. It is my favorite over landing vehicle I have seen on KZfaq

My man is doing it! And doing it right. That’s what I’m talking about!

Lovely Transformation, Sir. Love from Pakistan.

Wow, I just found your channel; this is my dream setup! I'm bidding on an LMTV soon and plan to just drop a premade RV on the back and try that out for a while before I go custom crazy.

Damn dude everything is so awesome. Now I want to make something that awesome!

You did a stellar job on the cab interior. I love all of the gadgets and gizmos you have installed. I thought I had lots of stuff but you definitely take the cake. Keep the videos coming!

Love it!! Great job!

Thanks

This is the best conversion I have seen for the m1079 I want this exact set up . I want to Literally copy paste this set up !!! Great job

Well I didn’t understand too much of it but I know what military trucks are like. My husband used to drive one for a little while when he first got into the Army. That is an amazing transformation and considering the bare bones version the military starts out with-at least back then-that was some incredible work. Especially considering your time frame. Now I wish I took the truck driver option the Army offered when I went in. I just couldn’t see myself driving a deuce and a half at the time!

Hi Mike, hope things are moving in the right direction still. Just wanted you to know we received the items and thank you so much. Safe travels!

Amazing job!

I would also like to drive around the world in a truck of my own!! Looks like a great lifestyle.

Wonderful job, Mike 🧡

cell phone amplifier? And... you are in the land of awesome breweries. Nightshift, Trillium, Treehouse. Need to up your game. :)

Dream home

Hey there! I am super impressed with the build on this truck I have watched your videos of the 3 over and over again! I just purchased a 1998 M1079 my self and have been scouring the internet in search of a build that I would like to take on and this is by far the best one. I hope to reach out to you further about all that you have done. Thanks for the amazing videos!

Great job and good video. I like the fact you included prices. So many others don't and then I have to spend time researching. Love the truck and your upgrades.

That is a nice build. I don't know, with all that A/C and heated seats people might start thinking you are getting old... :)

Nicely done Mike....looking real good!!

Amazingly done my friend...great quality and craftmanship...very nice!!!

You did a ton of work in a short period of time... Nice work

That's a great layout!

Would love to buy this when your done so we can keep the journey going is been my dream and my wife is actually ready to let me go so love the rig and the doka

Thanks Mike - I am totally upgrading my 1998 M1079 cab, and have done many of the things you have done (AC, Dynamat/Pad, new air ride seats, Midwest center console, quilted door panels, ceiling etc.) I got several great ideas from your video and will send you photos or video of mine when done. Look forward to following your journey. Dan C.

Everything about it is so amazing. Congratulations on a fantastic job.

Your rig certainly got our attention- I'm finally researching you :) It's awesome! If we weren't leaving the campground right now, we'd stop by to say hi! Enjoy your travels & be safe!

That’s the best cab remodel I’ve seen, well done 👌

Bloody brilliant awesome dream machine

Nice job. Love those seats, and i'm impressed at the insulation work you did. Cup holders in the console that's all-electrickery and plugs? Recipe for disaster. You can get inserts for those to hold things like the Garmin 2-way hand held (that doesn't need to be so high it's obstructing forward vision. Also, could mount a dash cam behind the rear-vision screen, and re-locate the Go-Pro to ceiling mount, so forward vision not obstructed. I thought the tacho would be more useful than another clock! Love that quilted-look duco.

Dude, you should have contracted that work for the Army, I hated driving/riding in those because of the noise.

Great work man. Looks really Amazing 🤩

Your rig looks awesome!

My English is pad but it's so cool chanil and you are clever

This is awesome man

Espectacular la cabina

Wow! Incredible. Super CLean. All pro and gorgeous. Clearly you are quite skilled at the building and creating. Impressive! Some questions: (1) How did you attach the black pillowy vinyl material to the door cards and everything else? Adhesive? What kind? (2) what gauge wire did you use to connect your fuse block to the House Battery? (3) what gauge for the Inverter? (4) how many feet of wire from the fuse block and Inverter to the House Battery? Thank you so much for making this video. You’ve given me some new ideas. Gracias Hermano.

No kitchen sink bro =) nicely done...

love it

that’s my dream home/truck your living the life i’m going to try build something very similar

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great job Mike , enjoy your beautiful truck, love it tell me please what kinda of material you used,?? Thank you brother

Me gusta mucho su camión. Quisiera ver los planos y el proceso de construcción del mismo.Tambien el sector de vivienda. Gracias

Michael my wife wants one of those Acela steering wheels like you have really bad just an FYI for the public contacted them this morning they will not sell steering wheels anymore and they were very rude about where I could possibly find one saying that they won't reveal any of their vendors it's quote nature of the Beast just a heads up for all your fans

Damm.. nice job!! Not trashing, but , all the traveling truck guys have to be hurting/ with the price of gas?😳

Looks awesome, I really like the material you used to cover the door panels, do you by chance have a link from Amazon ? Thanks in advance Seth

Great Job! I really like the look with all the updrade from later models.

You are a Genius buT u don't know iT

Thankyou for the tour ! Will you be at Overland X in flagstaff , AZ next week ? ~peace~

That looks great. Do you have any in process build videos? I am working on my ‘99 and have not started the interior paneling yet. How did you wrap your PDP cover lid? I would think that vinyl would get damaged when you remove it a few time. Thanks!

👍👍👍👍

Very nice job on the interior! Love it.

What Cat you have under the hood? Love the upgrades, so professional.

dear mike can you please put a link to the interior upholstry that you have used on the cab doors and dash ? thank you.

Dude. We want to hear the horn, and see the lights.

Did all that insulation allow you to operate the vehicle without hearing protection? How fast can you comfortably go on the highway is something like this? Really impressive job.

After all the layers of insulation, tint, & roof rack would you still put in ac?

What's your decibel level in the cab at highway speed? My 1078 is ~75...been toying with the idea of insulating but not sure the high cost of dynamat product is worth it for my application (currently just a construction rig).

I have a gran total budget of about 200k, Do you think i would be bale to get one running to the specs to live in full time with that kind of budget? I was looking at a sprinter van but after seeing this, i might be changing my mind. Plus i bet this is a lot simpler to work on than a sprinter van. If i do this, which im leaning more on doing so, im looking to build out to live in for at least 5 years. Wanting to take it through extreme colds and heat and everything in between. Also, where can i get that back extender piece, im sorry to say, but i kind of want to copy this build exterior aside from color, and cab area as well. You think 200k will get everything i truly hope?

We are located on the north shore of Massachusetts. Where is your home base ? We had scene one of your vehicles in Ipswich Massachusetts last week. Was wondering if it was in fact you.

Do you have build details anywhere? I just bought one and would love some beta from a pro!

Would it be possible to do a cab through passage with this type truck?

Amazing build my man.. im sure this is a tough question but what would you estimate on the reno? Aside from vehicle cost and obviously the labor (which is incalculable from my experience lol) what'd you put in to it materials wise. 20k, 40, 60, 80?

Did you switch out the gearing to the higher geared?

What do you do for Global internet?

👍

No way I would pay a grand for that center console. All looks good though. Seats have air ride?

God bless ya pal..but let's be real.... a fair majority of the time your "Overland Expedition Vehicle " is traversing dirt roads or an occasional fire trail with the balance on paved roads......the same "off roading" that my 86' Honda Accord can handle...I witnessed these glorified and grossly overpriced Mall Crawlers at Moab last year... drive it across the Sahara or better yet any of the true off roads in California or Nevada....much respect if you do...m
