    LMTV/Brazos/Titan XD4400… is it right for me?

    Thanks, but I'd say Ronmar and General Disorder are the go-to for most of the specifics. I just share my mistakes and opinions. There are FAR more knowledgeable folks on here than myself.... ;)

    LMTV/Brazos/Titan XD4400… is it right for me?

    While people often tend to go ga-ga over the Brazos/Titan having a Cummings, you have to ask yourself if it's *really* worth the premium (Titans typically sell for 2x to 10x the cost of the same truck in the military livery). Factor in an RV build on top of that and you're likely...

    LMTV/Brazos/Titan XD4400… is it right for me?

    I bet I know who sold it to him for that price, too. (bet there's a point of the compass in the company's name) It's a $250 common piece of glass from OnmiGlass LOL

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I have those in my Amazon cart. Someone had some on their truck a few years back Great idea, but my truck is a daily driver and I'd never put them on. LOL

    M1078A1 not charging in neutral! FIXED!

    He has a 2005 so...could be either way ? BAE had a big roulette wheel and a headless chicken when it came to putting together their early trucks. "We're out of 3126s? Break out the C7s (but keep using the old rear ends until they are gone). Here, put this grill on that one"

    What Unholy Sorcery Is THIS ?

    Yeah, this one is on GP now. No running info. The images are all borked (half of them are from a 7-ton dump truck, LOL). I had to do a double take when I saw the pics with independent suspension. :)

    What Unholy Sorcery Is THIS ?

    I've often said that it was possible to replace the S&S/OEM steering column with something that had actual tilt (and cruise controls, horn, etc).

    M1078A1 not charging in neutral! FIXED!

    Someone with an A1 could snap a photo of the label for the guy. Heh I've found the A1 schematics, but they aren't much help.

    M1078A1 not charging in neutral! FIXED!

    Well if it's in the TM I can't find it. But I can't ever find what I need in the damned TMs. TM's are useless. LOL

    Do you have the TM? I *think* that the CB/relay image is in there.

    Show me your auxiliary fuse panel

    None mounted yet, but I'm going to run a 12v 4 AWG run to a six fuse buss up to the overhead console tapped into the 12v ignition source in the breaker panel (for radios). I'm also doing a 12v 2 AWG run from the PPD down and back up to the rear of the cab (to power the stereo amps...

    Door Opening Attachments That Limit Door Overtravel

    I never have seen the actual "kit". Even the A0 trucks that went back thru BAE for refresh didn't get them afaik. I've just not seen a retrofit done. What the OP had appears to be a takeoff from an A1. That said, a quick trip to the fab shop and a visit to a canvas place (to stitch...

    Expedition engine?

    Just additional two cents here (more of a ramble)... My first truck was a M1078 LMTV. Great fun hauling bikinis at Spring Break. But I wanted a habitat (bikinis gotta sleep too, ya know). My original plan was to slap an ambulance box on the back (with bed removed). I had started the whole...

    Inspiration

    I was looking to do this to my spare M1082 before I gave it away. Gawd I coulda saved a lot of time and effort. LOL

    Expedition engine?

    This is where the topic somehow shifted to changing beds and options. I was just wondering if Neil had said something that made you think that was his intention. But I'm quite positive that if the OP wants to drop an S280 on the bed, there are ample examples of it working...

    Expedition engine?

    So what you are saying is that Neil isn't deleting his bed... ;)
