I thought she captured it perfectly. So there I was in the middle of the desert, alternator belt problems, TM in hand...

So from the Arizona department, I had a friend fly in from Denver and we had a nice weekend out around the Agua Fria national monument. This is really my second trip out there looking for petroglyphs and this time we hit pay-dirt. Was muddy from recent rains (yes it does rain in Arizona) the...

Well, my time here in Arizona is drawing to a close and it's time to start thinking about heading home in early April. I bought the LMTV down here in Phoenix, so this will be my first long-distance (>500 mile) trip with it. The truck is solid though so I feel pretty confident about it all. I...

So yes I did look in the TM for this - trying to use the small arms mount on my LMTV, with a flat-top AR and an ACOG, the optics are shoved into the back of the cab (the wooden plastic whatever interior panel on the back). The rifle can be made to fit if you shove a bit and use force, but it...

Of all the things - my 1078 seems to have problems tripping traffic signal actuators like at left turns - at least around the Phoenix area. This seems counter-intuitive since the thing has a curb weight of 17 grand, but, it's happened to me a couple of times now at two different lights resulting...

I am in the process of pulling more 12V for a garmin, radio, etc. Everyone says there are free slots in the fuse panel and that is certainly true. I thought maybe some pictures would be helpful. You remove the panel via the phillips panhead screws along the top and the front. I want to say...

Popped the cab for a little PMCS and noticed this coolant hose on the turbo. It looks nefarious to me. Seems like I can just go cut a length of whatever and hose clamp it on, nothing special. Also noticed that the hose clamps on the very top of the engine, seems like they have been digging into...

So I've started the CTIS odyssey on my new truck. Previous owner had it disconnected. So I hooked up the ECU, 5 flashlight lights. I am everyone is really shocked by this outcome. But this is not why I am writing, lots of good threads about troubleshooting CTIS. When I plugged the ECU in I...

Just some quick pictures of my M101A1 because hey why not. Happy Wednesday. It's a 1968 and I got it with the 3-color NATO, which was a 1998 repaint the military did. Late last year I painted it 686A CARC myself, sourced a NOS tarp as well as sides and bows (partly in thanks to the SS site)...

Sort of coming off this thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?149043-LMTV-cab-front-collision-damage-with-pics I got to thinking about safety improvements that can reasonably be made to a LMTV (in my case) or other MV. I realize, of course, there is no substitute for a skilled and...

Took the LMTV out to Agua Fria for something of a shakedown cruise. Just a few nagging issues, but overall, really great. Pics: https://www.flickr.com/photos/adventioneering/albums/72157661072307514 - The seats are torture devices. I have extra seat cushions but decided to try it as-intended...

Going to look at a LMTV (to buy) this weekend. I've read a lot of the threads here, and the TMs. Otherwise my knowledge is theoretical. I have experience with Unimogs, and, I am mechanically inclined (building jeeps and working on cars, etc). Looks like the truck was bought via GP out of NC...
