    Feb 4 update: placement of the front axle to set wheelbase at 118 inch. Stock is 123 inch, so will shorten the bed a little bit.

    LMTV/MV Safety Improvements

    M 1078 axle spline

    Ignore the measurements labeled " new". That is the required length for custom axles when the differential is rotated 180 degrees in the housing. It will fit, but it places the ring gear such that the short axle is too short and the long is too long.

    So far I am getting along with the M1078 TMs. I am retaining all of the LMTV pneumatic braking system, CTIS, and engine electrical stuff. For the Gladiator stuff, I look at the 30 or so in various stages of disassembly at my disposal to see how stuff goes together.

    So, my buddy Paul, asks," what are you going to do about paint? " I say I don't know, as it is not a restoration. " Scotchbrite and clearcoat then is what I suggest." Really?? You mean like scrub pots and pans scotchbrite? "Yes.". Ok, here is the passenger door before and after: Amaaaazing.
