    Caiman mrap aluminum rims

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    We did not import yet...we are very close to a decision though. Our concern is that alternator will be operating near or at max capacity - at full blast the AC unit draws 91 Amps @ 24V.

    14R20 Tires On MTV

    73m819- I would like to use the FMTV for commercial purposes. The FMTV was designed virtually identically to any well-built heavy-duty commercial vehicle in the world, and NOT specifically as a military-only vehicle, hence its enhanced level of comfort, reliability and performance. Both S&S...
