    Chester drawers roughed in. That's the last of the floorplan bits so the footprint is done. Next I need to gut any existing wiring that won't be used and design the overhead cabinets.

    College Station is where the SS rally is being held in Texas this weekend. Not to be confused with hot young women running around mostly nude on the beach

    Changing the front cab mounts on the 1078A1

    I had the bumper off my truck awhile back and I said to myself that when it came time to do the bushings on this truck I would pop the grill AND bumper. The bumper is super easy to pull/install if you have a friend with you for two minutes.. As to "how to" there are a few YouTube vids out...

    Got the aft section framed up today. I'll need to rig temporary some lighting so I can delete the OEM fixtures on that side of the ceiling, then I can sink some rivnuts to hold it all in place. Desk and drawers should be framed up this weekend

    My nephew had given me the kitchen (counter, sink, stove, Dometic fridge) out of his little camper he remodeled. While practically new, the plastic sink just wasn't doing it for me. Too small to wash more than your hands, plastic, and it was an odd shade of pewter. Out with the old and in...

    I never stuck my M1078. And believe me, I tried. But I've had to dig my M1079 out three times so far. In each case it was simply a matter of the AWD not being, well all wheel drive. In each case, had two wheels on either axel been turning I would have never stuck it. *this all being in soft...

    Alternator tensioner pulley replacement for M1078

    Now that it's all put back together and running, did you happen to inspect the fan clutch? The older versions tend to fail and send the fan thru the radiator. The mod was done by the military to a lot of these trucks, but not all. My first LMTV had suffered the fan failure when the previous...

    Agreed. Honestly if I really wanted real 4x4, e-lockers, disc brakes, highway gears, Cummins power, etc I would simply change platforms. :)
