    LMTV/MTV Workshop

    I figured out a nice way to let the laws of gravity and the tire hoist help you with changing a tire off the rim. Perhaps I'll demonstrate it at the event if there's a spare tire in need of changing. I plan on being there. Just a hop, skip, and a jump for me.

    Just won an auction - M1088A1

    If you got your CAD model from something like turbosquid you may have to resize the whole model. I've had two different models from them one of a Peterbilt and one of something else and all of them had been rescaled like 8% smaller or something like that

    M1088 camper conversion

    I have two of the filters as shown in the image up there with the y pipe. If that's the same kind that you're mentioning we only need one of then I'll sell my other one

    Out of morbid curiosity I looked up the alternator cuz when I tried to click on the link it said malware attempt. It's still a $2,200 alternator! Nice work though

    S-280 Shelter

    there is also this thing, but you would need a long wheelbase 6x6 FMTV or 5-ton for it: https://www.govplanet.eu/for-sale/Portable-Structures-Saginaw-32263-1-Portable-Shelter-California/13013287?h=5000%2Cq%7Cshalter&rr=0.14286&hitprm=&pnLink=yes

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    I would say don't necessarily spend the money on the tool until you try it other ways. Mine came off actually stupid easy and I ended up not even really needing it. I had a standard two jaw puller that was a big one. I put two pieces of pipe around the ends and put those in the yoke holes, and...

    Looking for m1079 van box and a fuel tank for an LMTV

    I think you're looking for unobtainium. You probably got better luck looking for an s280 shelter as Sean Filner (fastidious restomods YouTube channel) has on his., or make your own with a kit from https://rvglobetrekker.com/.

    Using upper stock frame rails for subframe

    Nice image yeah I see that they supplemented the lack of a second frame rail with the plates. Even more reasons why the semi would be the best platform option for building a camper.
