    Cab Latch Rebuild

    Since my rear cab bushings (A1R truck) literally fell out in chunks last week, I'm tossing in some hokey pucks until proper bushing solution arrives. I've had a slight hydraulic fluid leak at the latch and have the o-ring kit to do the rebuild. I thought I had bookmarked a video on the...

    I had to look. I needed to raise the cab today anyway. LOL Mine is black

    Aftermarket CTIS covers for FMTVs

    The guy literally spammed the LMTV groups with those images (here's just two of the LMTV groupsd I'm in over there, I didn't look in the others I belong to). And when you ask for any detail, he says "PM sent" (but I don't use Messenger and my only FB account is a friendless marketing account...

    LMTV/FMTV Dump trucks - worth it?

    Seems like it was a operator warning to "never fill the bed more that 50% of capacity" or "never raise the bed more than 50% of potential" (something like that) due to a design flaw. I honestly don't recall but I remember thinking to myself that if I ever needed a dump truck to sure as hell not...

    !CLOSED! Cab Mount Group Buy. NEW OEM FMTV LMTV M1078, M1079, etc

    Rgr all.. Yeah, just hook me up with a complete set for the A1R (not the "3" that I posted).

    !CLOSED! Cab Mount Group Buy. NEW OEM FMTV LMTV M1078, M1079, etc

    OK, then my "3" is incorrect. I need three upper/three lower (ie: three pairs, not enough for three trucks). If I have to buy two "sets" to get the three pairs, that's fine...

    !CLOSED! Cab Mount Group Buy. NEW OEM FMTV LMTV M1078, M1079, etc

    Looking at the list, I see a lot of "1's" It makes me wonder if people confused pairs/sets with complete truck "sets". Seems like a lot of people only replacing one bushing pair.....

    LMTV/FMTV Dump trucks - worth it?

    Wasn't there some design flaw with the LMTV dump truck? I distinctly recall something about extreme limitations on something like load and dump angle.

    The dash on a C7 truck is unique. The engine itself will have the ACERT badge written across the top of the engine. Got any pics?

    I gave up hope. As General said theA1R is essentially the P2 w/o the armored cab and thus civilian taboo.

    A0, A1, A1R and TM's

    Heh, S&S/BAE made all sorts of Franken-trucks (mostly all A1s). I've seen A1's with C7s that were clearly not A1R trucks. I suspect at some point they just said "use the parts we have available and make a truck). ;)

    A0, A1, A1R and TM's

    No, I just got the one book. I have electronic copy of the A0 versions (TM-10 and -20, etc)) as well (it includes the changes thru 2005 even though the cover page does not indicate so). Of course, I have an A1R so everything I have leaves me in the dark. LOL

    A0, A1, A1R and TM's

    TMs are a vast mystery to all but a few. The A0 (June 1998 ) TM's were simply amended to add info for the A1 modifications (2005). The updated versions are difficult to find because they technically have the same numbers as the predecessors. I've never made heads nor tails of it, myself...

    Class E in GA still a viable option?

    The issue there is potential lost tax income. That's the only loophole they could potentially close. People register million-dollar RVs out of state to ditch state/local sale taxes and that adds up enough to pop up on radar (especially in "tax rape" states where they pile on the extra taxes...

    Class E in GA still a viable option?

    Correct. It's why I brought up the LLC aspect. If your out-of-state company owns the vehicle, it would be licensed/registered in that state (not your home state). But otherwise, the law is pretty clear in most states. For private vehicles you're required by law to get it...

    Class E in GA still a viable option?

    The way that typically works is that you get it titled and plated in Utah. But once you get home, most states require you to register your vehicle in the state/county where you reside/the truck will be used. The gist is that once it's titled in Utah, GA *should* recognize the classification...

    Class E in GA still a viable option?

    You might look into registration as a "former military vehicle". No CDL but there are some use limitations. You might see if you can fit into that category. Most states treat them sorta like antique plates on a vintage car. I know in Texas it's like $60 for a 5 year plate with no state...
