    My CARC Experiences

    Thanks for saying so! Pretty happy with how they turned out.

    My CARC Experiences

    Someone PM’d me for information on my experiences painting with CARC. I’ve posted bits and pieces before but I thought I’d just write up a guide. The first thing I want to say is that I am not an expert, it’s not like I was in the military painting things all day. To date I’ve done a couple of...

    Is there any other Paint Recommended besides Behr?

    Around $600 for a 4 gallon pack is the last price I paid at Sherwin Williams. That includes the epoxy and everything.

    Is there any other Paint Recommended besides Behr?

    I like the actual CARC. It's easy to get, easy to spray, prep is simpler if the thing is already CARC. Done a couple of vehicles and a trailer so far.

    LMTV Crane / LMHC

    And... UPS lost the crate. 60x40x25 550 lbs :/ It's like the universe conspires to keep these things rare.

    M1078 Delivery Cost

    Shipping it is smarter anyways. Not saying a drive recovery can't be done, but why risk it. Get it home where you can go over it at your leisure.

    Illinois humvee title problem

    I think this every time I drive down the highway in my 2009 Jeep with no doors. I mean, that can't be safe, yet here we are. The difference is for that vehicle class, Chrysler warrantied that the vehicle met safety and emission standards for the year of manufacture and provided test articles for...

    Used motor oil as undercoating

    The Cat engine in my LMTV likes to apply oil to the truck. I thought it was an automatic chassis rust-prevention coating oil recycling feature... rofl

    12 volt towing box

    Nice work! Glad to see something done properly after all the scary bodged together trailer electrics I've seen...

    breaking free stuck lug nuts

    Funny enough that's how I learned about the Miluakee. First time I got a flat with the LMTV I just called a guy to change it, partly because I wanted to see how it was done. And he gets out the little red drill and goes "people always laugh when I get this out...". Then he had it done in no-time...

    LMTV Crane / LMHC

    So after seeing a few people in here have had success with fast track logistics for getting GL lots I gave them a call. I was kind of stressed about getting the lot picked up - I've never bought from GL before - but they were super friendly and just took care of everything. And the quote for the...

    breaking free stuck lug nuts

    Yeah, so what I personally own is "M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. High Torque Impact Wrench with Friction Ring Kit". It's the tool, couple batteries, charger, case. $429 right now at a certain orange home improvement company, no idea if that's the best price around. Part...

    Tire Place in PHX Area

    I've got a couple pallets of Michelins coming in freight for my LMTV and I'm looking for a place (or guy) in the PHX area willing to do the mounting. I want to do qty 4. I've got new o-rings, all that. I'd do them myself but my forklift is back in Seattle and I just don't want to be bothered. I...

    LMTV Crane / LMHC

    Yeah I'll update when I get it all together, and take a ton of pictures. I haven't found ANY pictures from owners - just the fuzzy mil stuff and the drawings we've all seen.

    LMTV Crane / LMHC

    $3000 was as much as I was willing to go in for. If this didn't pan out I was going to buy a Liftmoore L-21 new, and so I wasn't into bidding more than the commercial equivalent... course I have no idea if the LMHC is complete. I think the power cable is missing for sure. I just hope the winch...
