    Using upper stock frame rails for subframe

    Yep I believe you are correct. But the second frame section you can mount anything and it's above the transmission it's also above the wheels. With my m1083 doing a flex test in the desert the wheels never go above the top of the second frame. So anything you mount to the second frame can be...

    Using upper stock frame rails for subframe

    To that I would say the m1088 only has the lower frame not an upper frame. Think the only reason for the second frame for the versions with the bed or a box is to put it above the transmission and also to reduce any flex that would make its way to the bed. If I were going to do this again I...

    A giant sheet of thin gorilla Glass! I have no idea if that's available but the people that make those cell phone covers probably buy the stuff in big sheets

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    With the particular tools I have available sometimes I can't reach at a good angle to cut very deep. So the impact worked great to get it out the rest of the way on a couple of them, since I had relieved the stress of the crimp.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    It's Huck-bolt destruction time! Six down and 14 to go. Combination of sawzall with the Diablo metal demon carbide tipped blade, dremel with a cut off wheel, portable bandsaw, hammered chisels punches and impact gun. Definitely if you're going to contemplate a camper build with an fmtv try to...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Another member here won a nice auction of a whole bunch of brand new takeout seats from LAPD. So these are 2021-2023 I think because I picked these up in early 2024. And I chopped down a couple inches off of the bottom as low as they could go without going into the hinges.

    Getting LMTV from Hawaii

    I think it might just be the middle axle from an M1083, with a cap instead of the rear output shaft. But I'm sure there's much more knowledgeable people on here that will tell us exactly what it is

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    First time I did a test of deflating down to sand pressure and then back up again it took like 45 minutes with the engine compressor. This is a 6x6.
