    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    No clunks and the steering is tight. But my link from steering box to kingpin the boots are gone. So looking at options. mine is a 2003 A1 with only 11,000 miles on it. With 90 psi in the tires and full load it takes the bumps like a champ but time says I should be changing them out.

    MPG vs HP Compromise

    I finally hit the road and figured I would give this post an update. With all the tanks full and all of our gear in it I took it to the scale and it weighed in at 26,800lbs! I’m happy to report I’m getting 6.5mpg! I was expecting it to go down but nope. Oh and I’ve decided not to drive it any...

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    Pulled the winch apart for painting. I figured I should paint some other items while it was all apart. Loads of fun trying to find just the right mounting position for the winch controller and that’s the wireless remote controller plugged in, inorder for the wires to reach but also miss the...

    We finally finished the build and left out for our first trip in it.

Test fitting accomplished now to take it all apart weld...

    Next big project was fitting the 25,000 lb 24 volt winch up front. My goal was to mount it as high and as close to the round cross member as possible. Here is how I did it.

    LMTV FMTV Exhaust Brake Questions?

    That’s the experience I’ve seen. I hear it inside the cab but I’ve been watching for evidence of how load it is to people near by on side walks or bikes any time I’ve been near someone they never reacted as if there was no increase in noise. I kept expecting them to turn their head as if I blew...

    LMTV FMTV Exhaust Brake Questions?

    Thanks, My mind was already going down that path of how I could make that happen. I’ve also discovered the second part is true.

    LMTV FMTV Exhaust Brake Questions?

    I have a 2003 M1078A1 the button labeled warmup/off/retard. I’ve just realized hope wonderful that switch is when switched to retard. That is how you activate the exhaust brake. I’ve never driven a vehicle with this feature and love how well it works and will save my brake shoes from excessive...
