    Military Vehicle Camper Insurance

    not odd at all. Ins. calculates coverage (or not) based on statistics of accidents/payouts IN YOUR GENERAL LOCATION. That is why everyone seems to get different answers from folk about Ins. This is also why SSoldiers has a separate forum on this site broke down by state for insurance...

    LMTV foot brake / treadle valve rebuild kit

    Are we absolutely sure there is not a Treadle Valve more commonly available now; that could just replace this, leaving future issues easier to deal with?

    LMTV Stock Axles and Lockers

    did ton of reading on this. Seems the longer the wheel base.... the less this is an issue. The folk who have the least issue is long wheel base and selectable locker in the rear with auto locker in front. AKA... with open diff in rear when front is an auto locker, front tends to pull you...

    AFAIK) blowing hydraulic fluid out of reservoir when raising the cab with Air.

    hmmm.... guess misunderstood previous discussions where this was mentioned. Then again..... if it has seals leaking mentioned between hydraulic side and air side... ??? would that let water pass?

    AFAIK) blowing hydraulic fluid out of reservoir when raising the cab with Air.

    if you do not have the metal cover that sits over this unit... water will make its way into the reservoir thru the copper breather. Over fills it.. eventually does not work well (more water than oil) and starts rusting things. Look out for that.

    LMTV Stock Axles and Lockers

    If your building with axles.... and you want a selectable locker.. and some more gear ratio options.... Look up Axletec 4000. They have air locker as OEM front and rear. Pretty sure there are more ratio options than the 3 for LMTV. Bryce Wasielak on facebook is your guy for that info. He...

    M1087 Aquired

    it is probably the Steyr shock. All the Steyr Expedtion Truck builders use suspension seats cause the cab suspension suck so bad. Harder to do than looks. Height of suspensions seats way higher. Xcap upgrade a mod to put two similar shocks instead of one on the rear cab hoop. Steyr...

    Roof drips water.

    if it is condensation... you can make an easy salt dehumidifier. Some use Kitty Litter then dry it out on oven sheet and use it again. Id use something with a lid and holes drilled in it though. Reminder Salt versions.... the water (brine) that collects is caustic to metal and will encourage...
