    LMTV My Custom Switch Pod

    Just another thought on this - I was tempted to take the power from the TOP of the fuse panel, instead of the BOTTOM (with all thew wires). The bolts for the power feeds screw upwards (towards the roof of the cab) but you can also screw a bolt down from the top. I couldn't get it to work but if...

    LMTV My Custom Switch Pod

    I recently installed a RigRunner on my dash and I took power off the studs from the feeds in the fuse panel as was suggested. Works fine. There was room to route the cable out without any cutting. I used automotive grade wire, but not the black milspec. It was what I had. The wire does matter...

    New here... bunch of LMTV questions.

    I realize this is an old post but I just wanted to mention for people who read the thread, my M1078A0 does 58mph all day long @ 185 degrees coolant temp in 90 degree weather. Uphill, downhill, doesn't seem to matter. This is empty, I haven't tried moving any real weight around with it yet. I...

    Searching For Corona Targets

    One of the early photo spy satellite programs, Corona, resulted in the construction of a (more or less) 16×16 mile grid of cement crosses. I expect few people know the real technical details but the popular story is that the satellites used the crosses in order to focus and orient their...

    Buying a LMTV 1078?

    Let me just get in early and say "tm" and "pmcs"... I learned a ton (and am still learning) from the thousands of pages of manuals they wrote.

    Buying a LMTV 1078?

    That price is low if it's low-no rust and everything is there and working properly. If something is broken well then all things are negotiable. There is a lot to know about them - a good place to start is reading the forum here. If it starts, the cab lifts, and it runs and sounds good, it...

    Paint cost

    I can't really answer your question but perhaps you will find it helpful to know I bought WD Carc II for $170 a gallon last year. Min qty was 4 gallons on the order. If your truck has an original CARC job and unless you have significant surface rust, IMO, you are better not going down to the...

    Large tire questions

    In the US? Depends on the state. You can checkout liftlaws.com. I've never heard of a reg for tire size specifically but you should look out for the bumper height (to the ground) and the frame position relative to the tire.

    Crown King & Horsethief Lookout

    Took the LMTV up to Crown King to get some BBQ. Well, until they were out of BBQ anyways. Kind of a neat area. Sort of like a bunch of adults channeled their inner 13 year-old and built forts in the woods. Truck ran great. https://www.flickr.com/photos/adventioneering/albums/72157664769535229

    Sounds different. The A0 uses a pair of small V belts.

    "Portrait Of LMTV Owner"

    Nah. What happened is we were camped out there and I started the truck in the morning. Alternator belt was squealing. One of the belts is a little stretched and is due for replacement but I think what really happened is the alternator bolt loosened up. Looped a ratchet strap around the...
