    No start A1

    Prime it? Could be fuel? Is the bulb hard? Your yard guy is wrong.

    He Wouldn't Trade

    Nice. I mentioned traveling the Alaska >Baja> Central > South America route. He echoed what others have said about the hazards of a miltary paint scheme in 3rd-world shitholes. He also noted that I'd be wise not to be wearing the camo pants I had on. So color is....situational :)

    He Wouldn't Trade

    He Wouldn't Trade

    Traveler just passing thru. Been down here about two weeks he said. He came down to check out SpaceX at Boca. He spend the night in the lot across the street when he was there. He showed me pics and the entire facility was right out his window. And he was here for the temps (said he...

    LMTV Cargo Cover install questions

    Having the OEM 4 bows can still allow water to pool on the cover, so I've always double up and made an extra set. Another pro tip (if you leave your canopy frame on full time) is to throw a ziptie around the bar at each side of the bow. It will prevent the bows from sliding around which...

    Warren hydraulic winch

    Sadly, it's all rebranded China crap these days (Warn, Ramsey, Sherpa). "Assembled in America" is just like "Assembled in Australia" when 100% of the components were made in China. But the Aussies speak highly of the Sherpas and they *do* know off roading. The Sherpa owners that I've...

    Emergency lmtv brake help

    The simple solution is a compass with an S on it, a road map, a couple tanks of fuel, and all of your belongings. *Texas is full, though ;)

    Window treatments

    btw: our windshields are AS1 compliant it seems, so know the restrictions (DPS sure knows them). https://instamotor.com/blog/window-tinting-laws-50-states

    Window treatments

    I'm having mine tinted, but down hear in S TX it's hot year round (was in the upper 80's yesterday Jan 2nd). Be sure to check with your state and local laws about having it on the front windshield (some states restrict what can be put on the windshield and front door windows). That said, it...

    Cab stretching…. Anyone?

    I'd take a closer look at that shop before making any quick judgements. And have you seen all the other custom work that went into that build as well as the end result? More like "German engineering". :)

    Third's Build Discussion

    Mine is a 2008 A1R and has whatever they were using in the final versions. It has two digits in the viewer if that's what you are asking "NN" "77" "RR" etc. I've never seen one of these trucks that didn't have two digits on the controller face.

    How do you make a LMTV NOT suck in the snow?

    interesting E-shmay find.

    No, but they may have not mentioned it because I had them at gunpoint. Stick with what works, I always say.... ;p
