Not a direct answer to your question but I find a targeted Google search far more effective than the forum search. All you have to do is include `site:steelsoldiers.com` in your query. I also usually add "FMTV" to cut down on the CUCV and HMMV results :) `site:steelsoldiers.com FMTV group 31`...

Hey Chris, fellow PDX overlanding DIY nerd here and starting my LMTV build (1078 A1R) in a couple weeks! I’ve been thinking a lot about the cab pass through. I’m 6’4” and we have two big dogs. I have some ideas to be able to go a little bigger than the 2’ square I’ve seen most folks do. How...
