    1078a1 wipers wont return to "park"

    There is a little "latch" (for lack of a proper term) that can pop out and cause them to "park" in the wrong spot. But when that occurs they will typically return to the wrong same spot. While not the exact issue you describe, I'd suspect the cause is the same. My A1R parks the wipers in...

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    I didn't know you made those. PM me a price if you will. No sense reinventing the wheel if I can afford it.

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    They've been selling for around $100 on GP. Many with very low hours (both mine have under 20). The buggers are the ones with no controllers, but most coming out of NVegas have shown to be intact. Ideally, I'd have a 35K if I could find one (the 60K is a beast to lug around). I love the fact...

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    I also need to figure out the output on the internal charger. These things keep the batteries topped off via a thermal generator that spins with the generated heat. Pretty cool stuff. But I'm not sure what effect various sized batteries would have on the charging system (that's why I stayed...

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    The battery pack consists of two rows of 6 x 2v. It's still only a 12v pack (two 12v batteries that are not even in parallel) . It is NOT a 24v system! There are separate leads to each battery (r+, blk- and w+ grn-). Two white wires for the heating element, and two brown wires for the temp...

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    These guys will run off a couple 12v 8ah batteries. I have to spoof the battery temp sensor and the battery heater (working on a solution that will use the same components, but as those who have these know the batteries are epoxied into the pack along with the sensor and heating element). I...

    American Lock cargo box key ?

    Wait, you've never looked inside? I couldn't do that... :)

    10' Cabover camper on a M1078

    If the camper has jacks, then this is totally doable. If you need the cab raised, just leg up the camper. Go for it ! Someone sent me a pic from a FB group and said the comment was made that it would be pretty simple to deal with (even if you don't have a crane). I love the look. In fact a...

    Newbie in over their head

    I bet that costs a pretty penny. The TM I have in print must be two reams of paper single-sided. The majority of it you'll likely never need. You can always just print the pages per task. I keep the electronic copies handy when I'm driving but the hard copy does come in handy in the garage.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Can confirm they can be swapped L and R. All those little numbered tags just confuse things. Peel them off. ;)

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    How are you tying the aluminum frame to the walls?

    Newbie in over their head

    Varies by state. Good looking truck. I have a '94 like that. It's an S&S truck but you can tell it went back thru for a refit in the mid-2000's by the BAE placard. Would have seen fresh paint, seats, floors, lights, tires, cover, fluids, etc plus a thorough inspection.

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    This is next on my list of things to do with this. I have a little 50w panel and controller that keep the batteries in my M1082 trailer topped off. Since the cooler will be in the trailer when used, I want to add another little panel to keep it topped off. I like redundancy and having another...

    LMTV Hitch Extension Kit installed!

    Yep, that's what I sort of have planned. Part of me was concerned that there was no additional bracing at the base (like most folks add to their civilian receiver mods). But I figure that it's it's tough enough for the pintle it should hold a little receiver slung under it. My only hesitation...

    LMTV Hitch Extension Kit installed!

    You'll have to fight Geo for it. He's been eyeballing it for a looooong time....

    I've seen those on plenty of HMMVWs

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    Reciprocity adds to the complexity. States will honor licenses and registrations issued from another state. When in doubt, they go to the federal playbook iirc. Thus, DOT is king...

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    Check your local laws before attaching any headlight guard of cover (even clear) to an on-road vehicle. Most states have outlawed them (even clear). The theory is that anything in front of the lens can interfere with projection.
