    Supply's for a FMTV tire change ?

    A couple 4' pieces of 1" steel pipe to help slide the wheels off/on is handy (especially if soloing).

    PASSED/SIGNED: Texas MV Bill Moving thru Senate

    OK, back in 2014 the TxDMV passed arule banning anything the deemed a “dune buggy” invalid for title, registration, and on-road use. This effected sand rails,fiberglass tub cars (ie Manx), as well as many kit cars. Last year letters were sent out to owners mandating the return of the titles...

    Tarp Hook, FMTV Bed Sides

    Enough people scrap their beds I would think someone here with a parts truck might have access to some.

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

    How much room/space did you end up using for the shower/head? Just curious what the whole thing took up in the way of floor plan (including the wall).

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I put the canopy back on today. I could have likely made the spacer collars 3" given the weight of the assembly and the hold-down straps at each leg. I just wanted to make sure that there was still enough leg slipped into the receivers so it would maintain integrity. There's actually enough...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Yeah, the truck only had two spars when I got it. It was obviously pretty bad about pooling water in that configuration so pulled the canopy for the winter. Hopefully this will have it all squared away.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Got the cargo canopy frame all re-installed. Better than new (it wasn't painted for **** by the manufacture and I added four more spars). Also made up six 2" spacer collars (one for each leg) and raised the roof a couple inches.

    Fun with Tires

    Do I try to split the rim with a grinder or just jump straight to the cutting touch? Asking for a friend ;p

    Fun with Tires

    So I have a flat spot on one of my tires. A mild "clomp" but noticeable. All tires are no-wear except the two front (all were NOS and installed about 5K ago). I have three spares (one onboard) so about three weeks back I rolled one out of the garage and swapped it with driver rear. No change...

    License plate frame with LED lights...use on LMTV

    Ah, that never occurred to me. Still, it's just one less thing to incorrectly be pulled over for. ;)

    Trailer supply rebuild?

    The knobs come off with a small push pin just like the OEM. Instead of the external retainer nut the OEM uses to hold it to the face plate, there are four screws (which would need holes be drilled). But as you say, Sean may have encountered something I'm not seeing here.

    Trailer supply rebuild?

    Looking at it today, the holes for the knobs are identically spaced. It has four threaded mounting holes on the face of the device. I'd think you could just drill four holes and bolt it to the existing faceplate.

    Trailer supply rebuild?

    Yeah. In Sean's defense he did tell me to go watch the video (of course he says that every time anyone asks a question on the FB page). With almost 100 videos and no way to search for what is in each, I can't always find the time to re-watch everything from scratch (I have seen many of his...
