I've got a good starter vehicle I'd sell them at a reasonable price.

Mine was a bit of a tight fit so I added the D ring just to give me a little more length. I don't have any measurements and sorry but its 100° out right now (not a euphemism it's actually 100° out and I don't do well in the heat).

When you put these two in the same sentence on a site that deals quite a bit with deuces they tend to blend together. I have never heard of the LMTV hydraulic system called "air over hydraulic" but it's the correct term for deuce brakes. Separating the 2 into individual sentences would leave...

Welcome to the LMTV club. The brakes are straight air brakes not air over hydraulic. If you find a place to add brake fluid then somethings not quite right.

Best time would be end of Oct/first of Nov. The weather is starting to cool down but they big crowds haven't started to the Park yet. I'm heading out for Idaho in 2 weeks and will be on an extended road trip for nearly a month so won't being doing anything this year but next year is always a...

Well you found better data than I did. The big difference in the tires is the tread. The Michelin tread is designed more for off road while Good Year is wider and flatter so better for pavement. Again, most of these tires are OLD so unless you're running new ones or ones past their date codes...

I’ve been told the Michelin’s are only rated for 45mph. That was just hearsay but on page 62 of the Michelin Truck Guide they say max speed of 50mph. Now given that these tires are likely well past their date codes I'd say 45 would even be pushing it...

Do you have the Michelins or GoodYears?

When I joined ('09) there was a big feeling that the MVPA was Anti-Cold War era and National really did give off that vibe. Now that there's a bunch of current issue stuff like HMMWVs and LMTVs out there maybe they'll put some effort into recruiting those owners and get away from just an...

Well if the fresh out of AIT E-2 screwed it up Uncle Sam just bought a new one. I don’t think he’d do the same if you do. Good luck! No pressure :)

I completely forgot about you being there. We probably crossed paths at one point or another. We camped on site and it wasn't great but I've been worse places before. At least we were able to get in Thursday and avoid the stupid people directing (or pretending to) traffic. If you find...

I was the only one that showed up last year. This year I’ll be doing the Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route so won’t be doing Big Bend. That means there will probably be a big crowd.

The M1079 belongs to SS member Adventure Driven. The Hunter guys need to read the manuals, well first they need to download the manuals THEN read them. They know virtually nothing about the vehicles. While I appreciate someone trying to promote them I think they're just trying to make a quick...

Check the fan to see if it's loose on the Fan Clutch. A couple of us have had catastrophic failures that sent the fan through the radiator. If it wiggles at all best to replace it with the newer style clutch and fan.

If you look at the 1st pic in post 15 you can see it. I didn't take a closeup.

I agree with Duckworthe. Their trucks were spotless and something I wouldn't be concerned with any more than any other NEW vehicle. I like the little extra step they added to the cab. I'd probably do that myself if I was keeping my truck.

I'm hurricane proof as I got my generator running again (wasn't during Harvey) and have about 300 gallons of fuel. That's enough of a ward to keep everything away for the entire season (unless the gennie goes down again and then one will hit).

Here’s a couple more pics: My wife also saw another M1079 (not Adventure Driven's) in the parking lot.

They don't know what they don't know yet. agazza and I stood around talking to them for probably an hour trying to explain the trucks to them and items to look for. They apparently have been here before (SS) but didn't know where the TM section was and are building the trucks without access to...

Wish we’d have had a chance to meet up. Did you look closely at the trucks next to Brutus with the travel trailers for habitats? A little pricey especially since they pulled the hydraulics and you had to tilt the cabs with the ha d pump.
