    Relocate batteries and fuel tank inboard

    Na, skid plates would cover any situation I ever get into with the M1079. If I want to rock climb or do wheelies or jump shit I'll use something other than my LMT(r)V/motorhome. :)

    MTV Engine and transmission swap

    Why not get a truck that has all the goodies you want, and slap an LMTV cab onto it. Because.... :)

    Relocate batteries and fuel tank inboard

    I've thought about some sort of skid plate/protection for the fuel and air tanks. That's about as fancy as I'd care to get, personally. I mean at some point when you talk enough about "Cummins swap", "re-gear", "disc brakes", "lockers", "frame alterations", "axel swaps", "relocating...

    Relocate batteries and fuel tank inboard

    There's a used here who did this I think. He's got the truck with the CAT yellow rool bar and cage (name escapes me at the monemt..."Olihondro" or something?)

    What have you done WITH your FMTV ( trips, Rescues etc) NOT: fixes, updates etc

    Typically, I don't do the beach on holiday weekends (fucking tourists). But this afternoon a buddy came by with pizza and beer on his way out to fish and I had a load of brush to burn already on the trailer so we rolled to my "secret spot". Landed two Black Tip the first 30 minutes. This...

    Fuel cap gasket….

    I use some rubber gasket material. I think I spent $4 on a sheet of it. So if you can trace a circle and use scissors.... :)

    Know where to get aluminum landing mats?

    They make awesome traction pads (the plastic ones tend to turn into shit under an LMTV).

    Decon stuff

    Found this pic I had saved. This is what the decon kit looks like. I think the TM lists the car wash goodies...

    Battery tender and disconnect switch

    A single 12v tender (solar or 120v) and a battery equalizer. /done There's a recent thread (past year) about how to wire a disconnect. I'll see if I can locate it for ya.

    Know where to get aluminum landing mats?

    I'd like a set of aluminum as well. But this guy only had steel which would take too big a rust hit down here. Here's the contact info: https://www.mcsurplus.com/category/used-steel-landing-mats/

    Another A0 door handle and latch option.

    Actually, you define my explanation to a tee. Joining a FF group assumes that: You are a FB user familiar with the grouping process You can see and follow any posted instructions People assume: That other users always see all the popups, and windows, disclaimers, and instructions be it...

    Know where to get aluminum landing mats?

    Will do. Pretty sure he only sells by the thousand pound lot or something, though.

    Another A0 door handle and latch option.

    So you're saying that no one who applied to the group has ever been turned down. Perhaps missed the question requirement, etc? Because I suspect that there's no truth in THAT if it's what you are saying. There are some pretty power-hungry mods on the LMTV FB groups. That said, it's FB...

    Know where to get aluminum landing mats?

    Nope, sorry. Was steel.

    Know where to get aluminum landing mats?

    I talked with a fellow a couple years back. Had a yard FULL of them. Wasn't interested in only selling me a couple (he wanted to seel by the lot). I'm certain he still has them. Let me see if I can find the info.

    1078 LMTV A0 windshield wiper

    DC? I'm talking 'bout the Republic of Texas. For those who are willing to fight for it ONLY, of course. The rest will be run out on a rail and those who they voted for will be tared and feathered.. :)

    1078 LMTV A0 windshield wiper

    Never happen. Texas flag maybe... At least on the new republic capital of Bandera (pity that Austin had to be nuked to exterminate it's "issues"). ;)

    1078 LMTV A0 windshield wiper

    Looks good. Don't you have to keep on shorter than the other two when you do that. I recall someone mentioning that one had to be shorter....
