    I'm retired Army. I've used this particular vehicle as a mobile Headquarters. I used to fantasize about using it this way. I'm jealous. Amazing!
  • @onetime359
    In the intro she says " a little bit of Zach's engineering skills". !!! LOL...a little bit? This whole thing exist because of Zach's SKILLS!!
  • I met Zack and Crystal... also took a personal tour of Bantha. Super clean, well engineered truck and shelter... great couple of folks. Makes my LMTV look small... and that is a hard thing to do.

    The more I see military trucks being converted to mobile homes the more im glad I have a C5 license. Thanx for sharing
  • Many moons ago when I was in the Army I actually worked out of one of these on a deployment. It was a rare opportunity since I usually worked in an armor brigade and we didn't have any of these M1087s. Our commanders operated out of M577 command tracks. Put 4 M577s back to back, cover with a specially-designed tent-tarp and camo netting and bam - instant TOC. The blackout function was so that you could have white light inside with covers on all the windows and whenever anyone opened the door it would automatically switch over to non-white-light to preserve night vision for any soldiers on guard in the area as well as not light up the area for any enemies that may be scanning the horizon with night vision or flying overhead. You know, the whole noise/light discipline thing they beat into you in boot camp. These folks did an amazing job on converting this beast.

    I drove one of these in Iraq in 2003-2004. It's great to see an LMTV being used like this. Great project.

    Being retired military it's cool to see military Vehicles reperposed for enjoyable things! And the military tea pot is actually used for heating MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat)
  • In my opinion if you want to have a movable tiny house.Then using an old army shop truck.Is the perfect canvas to do it.Because, half or most of the work is already done for you.And they just look freaking awesome!

    the goonzquad you tube channel just got a smaller version and they are making a camper out of it
  • @caliado
    Army Veteran here, I used to drive those and always wanted to build something like this. Good job
  • @Jonoman777
    the fact it's called a bantha makes it even more awesome
  • @jimmysjamin1

  • @SmR8008
    An interesting vehicle, but would have liked a wider view of the layout to see everything in context
  • @azimuth361
    I've spent many a night in the old M1087. I've often thought to myself, "Self, this would be the ultimate, hard-core RV."
  • @Danielle10101
    I love how proud they are. They can’t stop smiling ☺️
  • @tishainess9339

  • @donwat91
    I love this thing. I'm a retired Air Force Master Sergeant aircrew member on EC-130E's . of my Air Force career I spent 4 years In a Tactical Unit driving around in vehicles like this . I would have never thought of this. But when i saw the slides bells went off. I just love it. You two have done an amazing job with this build.
