    My 7 ton is lost somewhere

    Sorry to hear that, buddy. I'm thankful that at least you got your money back, and I'm thankful that it didn't take longer for them to do it...

    What size screw pin shackles for front bumper?

    The hole looks like it's about 1-9/16". Anybody install some yet?

    My Swiss cheese floor...

    The "rubber" plugs I ordered, turned out to be plastic and a shape that would not have worked. Now I gotta find some actual rubber plugs in a 1/2" size...

    Does CARC fade?

    Thanks!

    Does CARC fade?

    My MTVR is a 2007 and painted in woodland camo. When it's wet, the colors look pretty fresh. When it's dry, the colors look pretty bland, especially in direct sunlight. Does CARC fade like that on a 13 year old truck? Is there something I can use to revive the colors, or should I just live with...

    My Swiss cheese floor...

    The MTVR cab is aluminum, so no rust worries. I appreciate the ideas Wes.

    My Swiss cheese floor...

    My MTVR was originally built with armor, which was removed before I bought it, leaving about 50-60 half-inch holes in the floor. I'd like to seal them up, and we may want to put down some kind of sound damping and or sound absorbing floor covering, like rubber matting and/or carpeting on top...

    What's the deal with the "Omni ID" RFID rectangles stuck to the front and back?

    What are these things, and why are they on the trucks

    Working on some possible matches for a non-vented locking gas cap: Velvac # 600169-6 PDC # 600169-6 Sloan # 431006 Stant # 10419 They are 4" diameter, 8 threads per inch, and non-vented. I have not physically confirmed that these will work...

    Okay, I've got a Pierce dealer parts department employee working on the locking door handles. I'll give an update when that information becomes available...

    Thank you for the keyed battery disconnect also, Wes. This is all good stuff.

    It looks like the Hawk Extreme firefighting vehicle from Oshkosh's Pierce division, is simply an MTVR in drag, and photos of the Hawk Extreme show key locking outside door handles.

    Securing your MTVR? anyone installing locks? ignition keys?

    Excellent stuff, Wes. Do you have a part number for the keyed Cole Hersee ignition switch? I'm looking at pictures, and I suspect that the correct switch is one of the ones with a "956" prefix...

    Any idea how to "uncurl" curled MTVR rear mud flaps?

    Going to get started cleaning up and fettling our truck today. Our rear mud flaps appear tl have taken on a curled "set" from being stored with the tails hooked to the leashes. Any idea how to relax/uncurl/straighten them? I'm thinking of removing them and laying them flat(ish) in the bed to...

    Securing your MTVR? anyone installing locks? ignition keys?

    We locked ours up last night by chaining up the outside handles as depicted above. I just got off the phone with a "Mike" at Oshkosh Defense, who is looking into finding us locking outside door handles. He pulled up the technical drawings on the door handles that the MTVR comes with, as well as...

    Anyone put a camper on the back of a 7T MTVR?

    My wife and I are currently in negotiations on that subject. Containers can be cut and rewelded to any length. The MTVR is plenty tall enough to handle the rear overhang without materially effecting the departure angle. ...and we're exploring scooting the container further forward, closer to...
