Do you have the Amphenol connector number you used, and what is PEI? Mine is mounted, just trying to find the correct connector for the FMTV.

Rear mount Mark, Thank you. I have not seen one of those mounts before. I guess one more thing to look for in the future :) Have to catch up on your thread now.

Mark, what is the bracket on the back of the cab on the right side? Is it a mount for a stobe or ?????? Most of the ones I seen with a strobe were magnetic and placed in the center on top of the cab. Can you provide a close up photo?

Mark, Where did you end up finding the rear sway bar bushings? I need to replace mine.

M-1082 trailer with Cargo Cover Installed the tarp this morning to determine what else is needed. Need to buy new rubber stretch cords for the tarp to secure it properly. Took it over to the car was and spent 45 minutes pressure washing the trailer and cover. Looks good behind the M1078. Also...

Can you post more information about the larger turbo install? Including the P/N and the difference you see in performance? Was it a direct bolt in, or did you have to make modifications.

Trailer arrived in Phoenix Today Trailer arrived safely in Phoenix today. CastelBravo provided assistance in guiding me on the transporters trailer once we figured out how to get the bobcat to move (Seat safety feature was having issues). Here are a few photos of the unload, and connected to...

Or even a c-clamp and if you need to push it beyond the outside, just use a small socket in between the c-clamp and the piston outer surface. Wish I was closer to give you a hand :)

Thank you Rory for all your help in retrieving this trailer and giving it up so soon. I thought it would be months before I received a good price. It would hva e cost me the same or more to come to Texas to pick it up. I will keep an eye out for you on one that is comparable.

He probably has a small trailer to go pickup and put under this massive trailer. I am sure he has a few more loads to pickup prior to heading directly to Phoenix.

Trailer will be picked up tomorrow in Austin, and transported to Phoenix via Uship. Thrift Transport offered the best price and will put it on a lowboy gooseneck trailer. The cheapest was someone that wanted to pull it with their pick-up. I think without air brakes on a pickup, and the weight...

Listed the trailer on U-ship for shipping. Might need to find a place in Round Rock or Austin that would have a loading dock. My friend at Delora Landscaping has a temporary dirt loading dock that he backs his trailers up to that may work. No hurry to move, but if the price is right it would be...

As always Nick, excellent craftsmanship. I will send you a text message to see if you have time for me to come out and check it out. I have a few data plates I found.

Maybe they deleted this option from the trailer so people would not lift something when it is disconnected from the truck and flip the trailer over. Put my top on the truck today in just over an hour using a ratchet strap after the first two out poles are in, then secured it tight one all the...

Thanks fuzzytoaster. I had seen them come up but as usual they are too far from me. I guess I need to look at shipping prices. Also considering just a pickup bed camper that pops up with smooth sides so it could just be painted to look military :)

Does the M-1082 trailer have the same 4" pockets in all 4 corners of the trailer bed for the crane mounting? Just thinking through some ideas of a camper mounting and being able to utilize these holes for fresh water/black water pipes to go through and mounting tanks under the trailer. Looks...

Steve6x6x6 have you ever heard of one of the front axles on the M-1078 being a little noisy around 20-30 mph like a regular differential that has backlash problems or wear? Is this a common issue on the FMTVs? The guy that bought the one I now have drove it from Ft Bragg to Arizona after...

I was going to try and put the bows on the M1078 tomorrow so I would have a place to sit in the shade during the memorial event. But now after reading this you need Soldier B and C to help you. (the reason for three seats :) Might try and figure a way out to use PVC half sleeves strapped to the...

Thanks for the great recovery to you and your son. I am sure he enjoyed the time spending with you during this recovery too. I have no big hurry to get it back to Phoenix, so you might as well enjoy it bringing it to a few events. If it it had troop seats and the top is good it would make a nice...

Trailer will be picked up today by M813rc (Thank you) and brought near Austin TX. Still looking for transportation west to Phoenix. I am ok with it being towed back this direction, or on a flat bed. Can be within the next month or two.
