    That truck looks too clean to have ever been tossed out of a plane. It's usually pretty easy to spot the ones with a few jumps under their belts. They look more like this: LOL

    Survey...... "oil line of death 3116" (governor oil feed line)

    I was wondering when someone would just sell a kit.

    Sweet truck. I was actually looking for one when I found my M1079. Not seen one that new come across the auction block with XMLs. Did you add those?

    FMTV Windshield Replacement

    Jet Packs are awesome, but simple glass cups are several hundred times less expensive. Personally, I prefer a helper but something like these will do: https://www.amazon.com/FCHO-Suction-Aluminum-Vacuum-Lifting/dp/B07HNRB2CJ/ref=asc_df_B07HNRB2CJ/

    Interesting. I'd not picked up on that tidbit. Can you or someone elaborate?

    FMTV Windshield Replacement

    Four-to-six able hands, some lube, and a 1/8" piece of rope (the length of the diameter of the the hole plus about 3 feet). All you need to do any windshield swap (assuming the rubber gasket is good). *pro tip: it also happens to all one needs for a weekend in Bangkok

    Anyone running 16R20 on their 6x6 FMTV?

    Yep, they'll fit as per a few builds. It's close between the rears (closer than I would be happy with) but it's been done. Kick up a twig or a rock between the two and it might get interesting as they do battle with it. But I'm only speculating as to what might happen (never had a 5-ton).

    CTIS trouble shooting

    Not an uncommon thing for a truck that's been sitting. A shot of WD40 around the stem with the system discharged can often lube the chamber enough to square it away for good (saved me from replacing mine and all three trucks had a slight leak there). Well, lesson learned. At least they only...

    M1078 rear tail light conversion.

    I've replaced the tail lights on both my m1082 trailers with civilian trailer lights (the trailer has the same wiring circuits as the truck in those regards). Works fine. Of course you don't retain the blackout capabilities (but I am retaking the blackout wiring for additional lights/switched...

    Joined the club with an 18,000lb paperweight this week.

    Pro tip (from my German Shepherd): There is a REALLY HOT engine just inches under that console, so insulate ! Slapping a piece of liner under the cab is very easy to do. Then top it all off with a nice dog bed/pad. ;)

    Yep. There are some stipulations as to air supply (engine running to charge the tanks, parking brake off, etc). But it will get you by...

    Anyone repair / replace spare tire nylon webbing?

    fyi: Any local sewing shop can likely handle making/repairing webbing, but certainly any canvas shade or sail shop. Keep in mind that the older stuff can get pretty stiff, so as far as repairs go ymmv. All that is really needed a heavy duty sewing machine with a heavy-duty needle. The trick...

    Aluminum wheels

    That came off GP. I almost tossed a bid up for laughs but didn't want to get stuck with just one. It sold for $35 on GP, btw. Bet the flipper selling it marked it up 1000% LOL
