    Mudflaps for front tires

    Somebody asked me about mudflaps for the front tire, and I couldn't paste pictures into private messages, so I'll just make this post for everyone to see. Here are all the pictures of LMTV mudflaps that I've collected, in no particular order.

    LMTV Cab Suspension Airbags Alternative

    Here's what I did to get it apart. I used a chisel to break the band holding the old airbag to the metal collar. That let me pull the old air bag off to expose just the collar. I then used the chisel gently in the crevice between the collar and bottom cup portion, to tap/wedge/pry them apart...

    Any other tricks to getting the bag off the lower mount? Mine won't budge.

    beadlock centering posts

    The beadlocks should not be able to move inside the tires, not even close. If they could, they wouldn't be beadlocks.

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    Yes, in Colorado. It doesn't need a VIN to get a title and registration. (At least when I did it in 2016, and until I moved away a few months ago.)

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    My truck was titled and registered with just its military serial number. Maybe the mistake was trying to get the VIN assigned to it?

    Des Moines, IA, need an alternator!

    When I was on the road and had alternator problems (turned out to be a rodent-chewed excite wire), I just bought a small generator and used it to run the battery charger. I even drove 1000 miles with the generator running, strapped down in the bed.

    ever notice that...

    Here's a picture of mine, for what it's worth. As others said, they don't need to all be switched to the lower position. These manuals were illustrated in the '90s, before CAD and 3D graphics could have helped make it an easier task. They probably drew the pictures once each, all down, and...

    Fan blade cracking

    I don't think we've had [m]any other reports of cracked fan blades, so there very well may have been no "cause" do correct.

    Fording Kit for the LMTV

    That website is the only place I've seen have any "info" on it. I vaguely remember looking around on that site more, and those 36"/60" numbers were also listed for another vehicle, so I wondered if they just copy and pasted.
