For a hab insert I'd maybe come in a half inch in each direction of the insert (ie: 3.5"x3.5" vs 4"x4" then dampen it with a rubber sleeve of some sort. But yeah, the first insert I made for my bed crane only fit properly in two of the four holes.. I made it fit too tight (assuming...

You're better prepared than I was when I did my long distance recovery. Looking forward to following your progress !

It's because they make that same sound as when you twist a balloon between you hands. ;p

Pretty much, this. With no roll protection or seatbelts, rollovers are often fatal for anyone in the back of a pickup truck. These cabs don't stand much chance against all the weight involved, either. *exception seemingly being the M1079 I kinda doubt that these trucks are inherently...

GREAT idea ! And pics when possible.

Nice Tan or green?

Cool

I don't know how many posts it takes to unlock PMs So, let's find out. What year is your truck?

You might even consider having them make you a couple spares to sell. Seems like someone is always looking for one to do the driver side. It'd certainly help cover the cost. For your purpose of searchlight mount, you might even come up with a better design (I'd never thought...

They are out there in the wild, but not very common. The few that I've seen people selling were the gold-plated ones worth $1000.. IMO, your best bet is to take the left one to a fab shop and have them make a mirror of it. Done. Or you can wait and maybe find a real one (because...

What happens on the surveillance system, stays on the surveillance system.

Use it to raise your satellite dish, or close the toilet lid, or something....

Agreed. I think it has a lot to do with the environment ( <shakes fist at the sky> "damn you climate change !!!!!" ). If the truck was parked in a swamp in Guam and left aired down, the tires are going to be pretty sketch. If that same truck was sitting in a hangar in...

I'm going to chuckle if government starts unloading cabs and they start dropping one-to-four-per- week now....or if P2 trucks get the DEMIL green light.

The only way I see anyone even close to possibly recouping the money would be to slap it on an A1R MTV and do a complete stock build. Some "collector" might fork over enough to justify the build. Maybe a prop to rent to movies. Or make some sort of BS fake shtf APC like some do with...

<chuckle<chuckle>

Judging by just the people on the LMTV fb groups who have spoken up that they will be bidding (some quite seriously explaining why it will warrant paying untold fortunes for it), and factoring in the point-of-compass profit flippers seeing a potential quarter-million-dollar truck with...

I was digging thru GP looking at cabs sold in the past. Mostly I found HEMTT cabs, but they had the DEMIL code "A". Was the HEMTT ever a civilian equivalent? I can't locate a sold LMTV cab that had a government sticker on it to compare. It certainly could be true for the A0/A1/A1R...

Oh I wouldn't want one either. Cramped inside, crap visibility, way too nose heavy. The first ones I saw hit the public were auctioned as "scrap" and a little bird told me that they ended up in people's hands. *these had no glass, but intact dash, PDPs, and even Gen3 a/c evaporators...

I expect full-retard on auction day... https://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/10549040?h=6-22
