    Prisoner from Lansing, KS escapes in M929.

    His name was Green so he must have just had an iron addiction.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the YEAR 2018 - VOTE HERE!

    My problem was that half of the line up I voted for in the monthly go around. I still think I picked the best of the litter for the MV of the Year though.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    There were several Denman tires in that batch of 1,000 or so (at least it seemed like that many) that I bought out of WY. Of course none of mine were NOS.

    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    The scrambled eggs and ham looked like a dog barfed in the can before it was sealed. I did enjoy the pound cake though. And REAL peaches.

    What did your FMTV do TO YOU today ?

    Third From Texas has mine now but I worried until the day he drove it out of my driveway that I was going to take a header from the bed. I did that out of my Gama Goat and was just hoping I would be over dirt when I came out the back of the 1078.

    Cucv tire carrier

    As Barrman said, put a receiver hitch on it then add a Wilco Hitchgate. You can add jerrycan holders, HiLift jack brackets, etc and carry just about any size tire you want and when you don't want it on the truck just pull it off and stick it in the garage...

    New Member Intro - Ya'all have been great so far!

    Welcome! If you're set on a M1010 the biggest mechanical issue is the Duvac system. It's easy to get rid of and should be the 1st consideration when prepping the vehicle for remote camping.

    They mis-spelled the name. Have you made the move into the object to be towed yet?

    LMTV M1078 Transmission Fluid Change To ATF Write Up

    Yeh aleigh don't you know the military is wrong to want to stick to one type of lubricant? Just because they run fine over thousands of miles using said lubricant doesn't mean it works.

    I have joined the Goat herd

    You have a pond or lake to float it out in first? Make sure she puts the drain plugs in though or it'll be more "burial at sea."

    XM 410 steering box

    Resurrecting an old thread. Someone just contacted our local MVPA club wondering about whether to sell or restore one of these so I had to do a search to find out exactly what it was. The link hendersonj posted is dead so I'll add a file photo to the thread in case anyone else is looking. The...

    M1078 GVWR Over the Road

    I regularly ran mine at 80 psi. Of course I had the CTIS unplugged when running at those pressures but had no issues with the tires.

    I have joined the club ! And yes I have lost my mine !

    That AZ sun is wicked to fade those black leather seats white :)

    What would a LMTV completed run? Pic enclosed Also where do you find the hood racks

    It's an Overlanding vehicle not a Class A RV. Completely different style for a completely different objective.

    What would a LMTV completed run? Pic enclosed Also where do you find the hood racks

    No offense to Profo but I've seen Adventure Driven's truck in person and other than those couple of dings in the side of the box the truck is immaculate and the interior of the box is even nicer. And yes it has high speed gears, AC, and now, about 1000 offroad lights on the cab rack. Again...

    I believe that's member Adventure Driven's truck. You couldn't touch one in his condition for $30k.

    Fehmarn to Berlin 300 miles on wheels

    I really like the steps on the tailgate. How long did it take to put the canopy up? I'm guessing it's a lot easier with 2 people. Seems like every time I had to do one it was by myself.

    $12.500 for m1083

    I just sold a '98 M1078 with A/C, new tires, and an almost NOS cargo cover (plus loads of extra parts including 2 new mounted tires) for $14k so whoever bought that one for $23k overpaid for it.

    Fehmarn to Berlin 300 miles on wheels

    Good luck with the recovery. I'm heading out Monday for a 2500 mile round trip. Mine isn't a MV but I'll be driving a Nissan Titan towing a trailer to SD then picking up a F350 and putting the Nissan on the trailer for the trip back. The F350 is an auction buy so having to take faith in their...
