    Keyed Ignition Switch Issues

    It's true for much of the vehicle unless you are doing some sort of authentic period correct vehicle. From door handles to air conditioning systems, there are civilian alternatives.

    LMTV as an RV in California

    Another nice feature of this method is that if you ever sell the truck, you can simply sell the LLC to the new owner. It can all transfer that way and the only change is getting it insured by the buyer. Technically, it requires no re-registration (since the LLC owed/owns the truck all along)...

    LMTV as an RV in California

    1) Find a state that allows RV title conversions 2) Start a LLC in that state (cost is typically under $100 total but some states do require a resident sponsor) 3) Register as an RV in the LLC's name (meet the required changes to be an RV, weigh, inspect) 4) Lease the vehicle to yourself for...

    M1078A1 -10 Technical Manual

    Here's the TM number as well as the .pdf file name the ETM is reading. As Geo said, there is just enough to wet your whistle but I'd not use it as a source for engine specifics:

    M1078A1 -10 Technical Manual

    May as well order the disc opposed to the USB unless you plan to burn your own. The files can be made to work w/o being on disc, but there's some IT hand-wavium involved...

    M1078A1 -10 Technical Manual

    And I did a search for the C7 as well and it does list later serial number block that had them up to the release of the manual. So I stand corrected there...

    M1078A1 -10 Technical Manual

    How many have had their driveshafts balanced?

    Balance, sm'alance....just put a good twist in it about 1/3 of the way up. ;)

    The correct response to "Why do you need a military trailer?!!!"

    "Because the the wait on paperwork for a truck wasn't long enough"

    Ready to test the new configuration

    Lots of clearance. What's next, you going to frame and skin it like a race truck?

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

    Tons of folks over on the VanLife groups and over on Expedition Portal use those in their builds. It's what I had planned to use until I switched trucks for the build (my 1079 has a habitat heater already).

    Anyone have a recommendation for towing a m1082 with an F150?

    I saw one in Houston being towed by an F150 so I know it can be done and a proper hitch is out there. No suggestions, though...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Repaired a busted corner on the lower front cover. A little MarineTex and some heavy mat, wax paper, and a couple boards clamped together over it to compress the patch. Will trim off the excess, paint, and toss it back on tomorrow. Since I spend a lot of time at the beach, going up those...
