    Staining or painting the floor hump mat?

    I wouldn't paint. It just rubs right off. Dyes would be far better, but rubber doesn't like to change colors :)

    LMTV tires

    I'm on my second LMTV with the Goodyears. On both trucks I did the 75 psi mod and tire wear slowed noticeably. On the M1078 it was more profound on the front, but on my M1079 they are all wearing evenly after 5000 miles. ymmv

    Replacement seat options

    You can calculate just how wide a seat will fit with a tape (I forget the number). The specs for most seats can be found with some digging. Height really depends on your leg length. The OEM seats are pretty low profile to allow for short drivers and you will notice that the highest point of...

    I have joined the club ! And yes I have lost my mine !

    Same here. It seems that the same two-piece mounts are used on all models (3116, 3126, C7). I wish I had taken them off my old truck and had them copied into CAD (let's just say these $80 mounts would be selling for $80 and not $800 if I did). Now if you are willing to re-route your...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I need to start gathering a parts list to do that (sorta). At some point I would like to make my rigid mounted cab on the A1R into an air ride.

    Trading up, nervous though. Stewart Stevenson M1078 LMTV Camper Build....

    First image is of an A1R NATO box. In later trucks the manual battery disconnect, disconnect relay, and NATO port are enclosed here. Second image is a later model (A1 or A1R) is the 9-Pin J1939 port for the Cat and Alison magic boxes to talk to the gods of the motorpool.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I don't think I have my old SCORE rule book on shoulder harness mount angles, but that certainly looks within the proper range. From an engineering standpoint, a front impact is going to do it's best to pull the bar forward. I would add one additional brace on the side that runs perfectly...

    LMTV Hitch Extension Kit installed!

    No, it's 7.25" total extension. The pintle is out 7.25" further than the standard.

    LMTV's show me your WINCH

    Correct me if I'm wrong My point is that it's not really that simple. I mean you are not just slapping on the winch and plugging in the wires. You have to a) find one and assuming the seller is including "everything", b) you have all the hoses, fittings to run and mount, c) PTO, d)...

    LMTV Hitch Extension Kit installed!

    OK, I had enough light. It's right at 7.25" additiuonal length.
