3rd from Texas You have a LMTV with a canopy in your picture. What is the room INSIDE the canopy Height and width. Thinking about making a skid unite with a mini-camper trailer sideways. (like a Scamp) Taking off the axle/tongue and making a subfram to sit lower with fork life holes to...
There is a aftermarket exoskeleton for the FMTV/LMTV now available. Its just under $2k. Hummmm. That has all of the above aformentioned
I asked the same question on FB Ark Fire fighter group. The subject of the light bar interfering with my red:white flasher bar pretty much settled the question.
Getting ready to install a LED Light bar on my LMTV.
The question is were to put it?
Go high?
Go low?
Is there any real advantage to putting on top of the cab? My main concern is most off road will be in the woods. I had to trim all the trees just on my drive cuz they beating up my...
Several people I know and myself have bought the visor upgrade. Only to find the brackets for the standard cab are missing.
After getting no response from the seller I was going figure out how to use the airdrop cab brackets. Which I have.
I have a detailed instructions and pictures if you are...
Thanks for that connector link. I saved it to my favorites. I wanted to stay with what was installed. I was getting close to replacing the thing.
I did find a plug from Newark. They had a nice data sheet and video on that series connector. I tried to load it but not sure if it worked...
The missing "E" solved the issue.
Newark had a photo and a really nice video of that series connector.
So my day is better ;-)
Thanks
Question. What is "mt" in your note "I use mt TM's a lot."
Did the data sheet for the plug load?
Thanks for the info.
Maybe I was spoiled with Boeing and Airbus wiring diagrams and schematics. Airline Tecs don't have time to be screwing around deciphering obtuse TMs. Every minute lost at the gate cost $100,000. You call up the pilots sliding window heat. You have about 5 mins to either...
I still want to hook up a battery charge and I am considering the Norco.
I have the Norco. Buy it!!! With the nato plug. I have a handful of chargers I don’t use now that I have this nice one.

When they demilitarized my truck they completely stripped the panel of any CBs and relays when they took out the radios etc. And damaged a few more.
Best place to get more?
I have a FMTV wiring diagram. But it’s mostly worthless. I am retired avionics. Complex wire schematics and diagrams were a everyday job. This thing is worthlessness. I am thinking I have a partial incomplete. I have tried the TM here but I get this goofy error message that I done have enough...
Yes. That is how mine is set up. It is more secure than push button. But anybody with some sense and some time can pull the dash and “hot wire” the starter. Your idea to use the ign switch as a power on switch is more secure. I have looked at my switch. I think its capable. I also have locking...
Update
Replaced about 6 in of black plastic CTIS line that had 2 holes in it from previous welding nearby. I was fortunate it didn’t get into the wiring at same spot.
Using the jumper I could hear air being routed to the tires at each tire. No apparent leaks. Hooked up the CP to the CTIS...
Great! So its a differential pressure valve. When I fix the leak it will operate as required.
Thanks. I hauled 25 loads of gravel out my neighbor's creak for his driveway about 3 weeks ago. He wants to buy my truck.... ha ha ha But now I can use his excavator yeah
Update.
My friend came over to help locate the CTIS leak. While I was waiting the couple of days for his schedule to clear, I plumbed in a gauge and a shop QD. Now I don't need to run the engine to fill the air tanks. The shop air will maintain it while trouble shooting.
Found three...
