    As far as heaters, yeah I'm putting mine in the old arctic heater location.

    Solar battery and diesel heater location on M1079

    I've not added my internal power yet, but one thing that's stuck in my mind over the years was someone saying "never mount lithium batteries under your bed" (there was an embedded video of a lithium battery flashing and exploding). It got my attention and stuck in memory. Mine will be in a...

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    Well done. Need one of those loud little commercial alarms for when it's raising. "nnnnnnnnnnt-nnnnnnnnnt-nnnnnnnnnnt-nnnnnnnnnnnt"

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    People GO to New Jersey????!!!!!

    Ok a simple fix m1078.

    Yep, did that exact thing (finger of grease to the hooks) every time I fueled up my old A0 truck. Cab was nice a quiet. Non-issue for the ridged-mounted A1R cab that lacks the hook/tab configuration.

    Is this vehicle dependable? I need advise

    You'll spend some time and cash getting one up to snuff, but at the end of the day it's a CAT engine with an Alison transmission. Operating expenses scale, so not knowing what trucks you normally run it's hard to compare. It's closer to maintaining a semi. Bigger tools, bigger volumes, bigger...

    2008 LTMV goes into over charge dash shuts off

    It's almost always the batteries this time of year. No-crank posts shoot up all over social media and the LMTV groups/forums.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Yeah, my Average Fuel Eco has to be calculated on my truck by resetting mileage and fill up volume manually. Bit of a pita and I've had mixed results with it. I never got Instant Fuel Eco to work. That's why I asked when I saw this. I was wondering if I had missed a step setting it up...

    How'd you set up the fuel monitor on the BLuefire? I've yet to sort mine out.

    considering fabricating driver side kick panels for group buy

    Great Idea for those who don't have the later model trucks that came with the panel. They certainly clean up the driver compartment. Creates a safe place to add an accessory fuse panel, etc. Need to post a pic for those who have never seen one. I already have one on my truck, but applaud the...

    A1r 1079 up for auction

    Franken-truck heh Pity it's got the low pinion. It'll have the normal A0 drivetrain vibration problems. Hard pass (especially given all the crazy that's about to be unleashed in the bid war). It'll go for huge bucks, though.

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    No, but I'm doing some work on the cab latch finally next week. Got a neighbor who said he'd come watch in case the cab falls on my head (true story). Don't know why that has me so spooked. ;) My next steps need to be: cab latch insulate and panel back wall of cab install a/c (just the...

    S280 corner removal

    To an extent, I'd try it. But there's foam in those aluminum panels, so certainly not flame.

    S280 corner removal

    AAR's adhesives are the devil.... I have window cover slide channels inside my M1079 hab that simply cannot be removed. Others have done it. My truck is special. :(

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    Well, there's an image out there on the web of Olive Oyl painted on a car with her butt as the gas cap and the nozzle being inserted... But it's not likely "forum appropriate". But you get it...

    LMTV Replacement Windshield Wiper Arms

    At the parts store w/o my truck. What length wiper blades do I need for the LMTV? I know two are one length, and one is different, but the Internet is just giving me NSN part numbers and these guys here have no way to match. Can someone save me a trip home?
