    LMTV - Sound Proofing & Insulation Mods (Post Your Proofing)

    See that's the moderator in you kicking in. The kid in me would edit the OP so that there are all these "crazy and unrelated" insulation comments in a "glass bubble cab" thread. Not that I used to do that religiously on FB, etc: start a thread on one topic, flood it full of support and...

    LMTV - Sound Proofing & Insulation Mods (Post Your Proofing)

    That could have been the definitive, one-stop how-to article if it had amounts of each product used. ;) Seriously, the components needed to do the task seem to be pretty universal. What's never the same are discussions of how much of each to order. Realizing that there will always...

    That was taken around '82 and yep, big freeze here that year (had ice in the marina that year and I have a pic of a full Corona with lime sitting on the ice).

    I actually did that for 20 years at a business I owned before I "went to real work" *basically got too old to bang the employees so I finally put my two computer degrees to work Two locations on the beach rented Hobbie Cats, jetSkis, windsurfers, chairs, umbrellas, floats. The location in...

    Battery Box for M1082 Trailer

    Just a single 30w keeps it topped off. It's on a section of conduit (same material as the flag poles). Keep in mind the truck will be fully covered with solar up top. The panel is mounted on this (was jut going to be mockup but it's proven to be sturdy enough)...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I got a M1082 next to the driveway, one IN the driveway, next to my M1079. And it's a pretty step driveway (going to be interesting doing my entire hab build on an incline, lol). The M1078 was on the street for 9 months until it got green tagged by the city (I'd have liked to see them try...

    And that bolt hole pattern matches the standard Jerry can base. I carried a water can there on my last truck. :)

    Troop transport alarm

    So the guys in the back can annoy the driver with persistant buzzes. I sends a double-tone to the air alarm on the dash.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I used to cover the phones at my business partner's trans shop. On busy days I would help with the occasional tear down. From what I've see in the 34 TM there's nothing that jumps out as special to do a rebuild. I have a pretty sharp '94 that had gone back thru BAE around '08 or so. I got...

    Light switch differences?

    The guy with "Bantha" got a tan A1R version. *it should be illegal for someone to own TWO M1087s ;p I noticed in this video he states that his mechanic told him having LEDs on an A1R will cause a fire. I laughed my ass off. The LEDs were all that ever came on any LMTV/MTV A1R that I've...
