    Mav’s M1088A1 Conversion

    I thought I had saved the front delete instructions, but I can't locate them. Was hoping they might show some insight into your issue. :(

    Mav’s M1088A1 Conversion

    Hmmmm I know that there is a procedure to delete the front towing air connections. And if down wrong....park brake won't release. Make me wonder if it's a similar problem. @Ronmar would know.

    Was there a final correct answer on the LM/FMTVs being EMP proof ????

    Still the only bulletproof answer in the thread. Store stuff elsewhere Leave urban death trap <putt-putt-putt> Live happily ever after bouncing on cheerleaders...

    yeah, the little plastic bits wear quickly and are hard to source. The scalpers want a fortune for them and they simply wear out agian. I've tried a number of rod holder solutions. The A1R trucks changed to a metal clip (akin to the old-school carb rod clips that Chevy /Ford...

    Water in Transmission question . 1078 1997

    The % of water isn't really all that important. The clutches are coated in an asbestos-like material. The adhesive it's applied with is water soluble. It sadly doesn't take much to wipe the clutches clean of their traction resulting in slip. In the end, either the clutches got wet...

    Water in Transmission question . 1078 1997

    Sadly, I do. Never did determine how the water got in there (truck came that way). That brownish goo is the coating from the clutch packs in my case. Trans rebuild was more than the truck value (rebuild kit's are hard to locate and don't forget the t-case shares the same...

    Was there a final correct answer on the LM/FMTVs being EMP proof ????

    IMO, if a foreign power pops the USA with an EMP strike then the subsequent retaliatory actions will pretty much snowball. Unless you happen to own or can gain access to a silo or bunker, you're likely screwed. Forget the truck, keep that bunker stocked with cheerleaders ...

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    "Pause for Mrs Claus" is classic Alro as well as "Motorcycle Song". Let's get Santa Clause 'cause; Santa Clause has a red suit He's a communist And a beard, and long hair Must be a pacifist What's in the pipe that he's smoking?

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    Honestly, these days I appreciate his dad's music way more than Arlo's. Real old-school folk w/o the anti-war whining.

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    I had a friend here who married a guy from MI in the mid-70's. Dude played the guitar and did a great rendition of the song. It was the first time I'd ever heard it (I was more into hard rock than folk music). Had a lot a fun sitting around bon fires and singing that tune over the years...

    The only place I've found it for free was on YouTube. And yes, Alice was a girl. She own's a restaurant. But Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in the church nearby the Restaurant, in the bell tower with her husband Ray and Facha, the dog....

    You don't really have to use your real information. All you ever need in most cases is a burner gmail account. I have about 30. True story.... Just never sign up for anything requiring a phone number and avoid the 2-factor authentication stuff.

    Alice's Restaurant It's a lot of hippie stuff from the 60's but it gets good at 1:02:30. That's the part of the song that was referenced above. :)

    Spare tire mount options?

    This is one of the coolest rear decks that I've seen. You could substitute bikes, spares, etc for the box. Or keep the box as housing for the tire changers/servant staff... My only issue with it is "what happens when you back up to an incline/hill/lake/or irregular surface."...
