    Boat trailer rollers and bumpers work great also, they are quite a bit softer and have a steel insert for the hole, plus they come in a number of different sizes and lengths.

    FMTV frame steel.... weldability?

    it depends on what your welding how large and area etc. The frame members for the LMTV are heat treated steel so it will need to be re-treated after welding.

    Without the center diff locked, de-powering the rear most axle will cease all torque transfer to the wheels.

    Locker location on 1083

    A Detroit style locker will not fully lock unless there is torque being applied to the housing. With little torque application going around a corner one wheel is disengaged or ratchets to compensate for the speed difference. This is also why it is not recommended to power through a turn on a...

    Just picked up my M1078 so I am starting on this new adventure

    Cab tilt.. make sure you have the proper knobs set on the control panel, the parking brake must be applied, and the reservoir must be full. The fan works as you describe it.

    14R20 Tires On MTV

    1400R20's fit.. 1600R20's won't clear the front stowage boxes at full lock, and if you have a winch the hydraulic fluid tank guard won't clear either. I think with a 2 inch cab lift 2 inch suspension lift and some trimming it will all work well with 1600R20's.

    Need (2) switches for dash

    Just make sure you have the right swtich. Some are momentary on, three way and on/off. Also the legends can be difficult to get off and break easily.

    Need help determining what this is for.

    That's the ABS air valves. I believe there is one for each wheel. The black cap is a vent to atmosphere.

    Transmission won't go out of 'N' with the PTO engaged and the PTO won't engage unless the Transmission is in 'N'
