  1. Third From Texas

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Started tearing down the generator for cleaning and re-fit today. Found the two exhaust leaks that had created most of the soot (just exhaust gasket and a missing bolt). Took dimensions so I can fab up a head pressure relief rod (the lever and handle are both there, just missing the rod)...

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

    Shaft removal is SOP for a flat tow via tow bar. I was watching that truck just for run and it was *super* clean. Just work your way thru the TM troubleshooting guide and I be you find the issue asap...

    Power distribution layout

    There is a LMTV "tips" site that has the printable file (so you can have a decal made if so desired). I'll have to dig around (I recall his site logo was a gorilla)...

    PASSED/SIGNED: Texas MV Bill Moving thru Senate

    This was in fact the premise behind the bill. The TxDMV had change the "rule" and banned dune buggies back in 2014 (and had started revoking title and plates in 2018 ). The biggest issue was that with no definition, anything the DMV (or any particular clerk) *deemed* to be a "dune buggy" was...

    RESOLVED: Anyone in Little Rock, AR? Anyone in Little Rock, AR?
