    Took the M1101 for a tow today

    Cool, I'll have to keep an eye for you around Charleston. I've pulled one of my M1102's over 10,000 miles and like it very well.

    What do you build?

    Currently on my shop floor is a Jeep Scrambler custom build. Using a new 2016 Wrangler Unlimited frame, shortened it 12" in the center (104" wheelbase instead of Scrambler 103" or Wrangler 116") and lengthened 12" in the rear. Sitting on Dana Ultimate 60 crate axles, 4.88 gears and lockers...

    M1083 transmission won't engage

    As above, "mode" splits power 50/50 and mode off is split 30/70.

    Forklifting a M1082A1

    Frame is open and clear on mine. If the forks are wide enough to clear the tire and far enough forward to keep the tongue from tipping down and you have the width for the frame rails you should be ok.

    Forklifting a M1082A1

    I own two of them. I believe if the forks are wide enough to clear the tires and miss the spring mounts while being long enough to catch both frame rails safely, it can be forked. I will however check later and get pics because I honestly hadn't ever contemplated lifting it with a fork lift. I...

    Dual caliper fronts on a D60?

    My Dana Ultimate 60 crate axles I bought a few weeks came with dual piston calipers on front and rear, so I'd say it shouldn't be hard to do. 8 on 6.5" lug pattern. It came with parts list for replacement parts. I can copy it for you.

    I talked to them in May or June of 2014 and they were closing everything up then. In talked to a lady by the name of Crystal. They had just sent warehouses full of parts to the scrapper, I had one of the first LMTV's released and she told me everything about the truck, all the way down to it was...

    MY M984 good and bad news

    I've got brand new MK48 cabs, they are pretty similar and should be able to be adapted to your need.

    M932/M1088 Fifth Wheel Height vs. commercial truck???

    You'll also need to watch that low belly trailer off road on humps. That longer wheelbase with that low clearance can leave you stuck on a high spot or dragging your trailer and tearing up vital components or harming the structural integrity.
