    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    I intended to mount it up front (have it pinned so I could drop out of the way when the cab was raised). Mockup felt like it was not long enough (I think it was like 6' and just didn't look long enough on the front of the LMTV). Now I'm looking at other applications for it (I may have an...

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    I saw that. Crazy price, IMO. I did finally see what my two brush guards I have in storage were supposed to be. They were listed as "side racks" but for some reason I never made the MWRP connection...

    How to treat scratches on windshield?

    I had some success with glass scratch polish and a little buffing wheel. It takes ages, but it works.

    How to straighten your cab?

    I imagine that the bushings being failed/missing could result in such a deflection. I'd certainly start there. Yeah, you should be able to re-align the rear of the cab then drop in new bushings and bolt it all back together flush.

    Coffee LMTV Style

    Yeah, when they were a small, veteran-owned company with more guns than coffee in their ads/videos they were worthy. No longer true. I was talking to a guy in Sam's Club the other day and after we chatted he put back the two cases he had in his cart.

    How do you make a LMTV NOT suck in the snow?

    Well, I'm with Colt on this one. My truck performs just fine in the winter.

    MRAP Light Set

    Yep, the biggest box is about 100 lbs full of all sorts of mounting solutions. And yeah, more boxes for the living room "storage". LOL

    MRAP Light Set

    Crossposted from Camper Mods So I saw an ad for MRAP light set $250. Full kit: all the lights, remote spots, wiring, controller. You know how if something is too good to be true....well, it was true. I spoke to the guy over the phone for about 20 mins. It's an aviation company in CA. Saw where...

    MRAP Light Set

    Pallet arrived today. They did a great job packing the kit up and sealing it for shipping. Such a nice kit. Really looking forward to installing it, but I have to make my habitat roof rack and cab rack/brush guard before I can install the lights. Very impressed with the controller. Top...

    LMTV M1078 Transmission oil confusion...please help!

    Deep down, yeah. But there are nuances. Like the engine, the trans, the rear end, the PDP, the electrical system. :)

    LMTV M1078 Transmission oil confusion...please help!

    There are TM's that cover thru 2005. The electronic copies that were sold for awhile included the updated info thru 2005. The problem is they are cumulative and you really have to surf thru them end-to-end to find the A1 info. Now the A1R guys......yeah we're screwed.

    New M-1083 owner. So, here we go!!

    A few folks have modified the battery box top to fit g31's. You can hack out the nubs that fit down to hold the 6TLs then just fiberglass a patch to fill the hole.

    What tire pressure do you use in M1078 ?

    I carry an air impact, but it's mostly to speed up the change. The multiplier does the real work

    M1088 camper conversion

    Awesome job. It's on my "to do" list to make a little fuel tank in that spot. How many gallons do you figure you got there?

    M1078 remove 2 batteries

    Yeah, I was doing the same. Then one week of bad weather I didn't drive the truck. With the balancer on I forgot to hook up the charger. Yeah, won't be forgetting the charger again. Flattened both my bats. I have a pile of like dead 6TLs in the garage (but only three of them that I...

    Battery charging question.

    Same truck and year. Mine bleeds 12v like a stuck pig. I've chased it for three years. Stumped. Costs me a 6TL if I don't drive the truck for a few days and forget to flip the disco switch (I've flattened two batteries because of it). I just leave the charger pulsing when it's parked now. :(
