    What is everyone using for stabilizers?

    My M1079 hab will sway at night when the wind is howling (and down here, it almost always is). Walking around can sway the rig (even the dog can move it walking around the bed). I'm trying to be careful about left/right weight distribution forward as a result (balancing the captured...

    Questions about house batteries - M1083A0 with a 17ft Winnebago on the back

    Good question. Only way for me to find out would be if the magic smoke escapes....then I know it was wrong.

    Someone on FB spotted you in Akron, Ohio. :)

    Questions about house batteries - M1083A0 with a 17ft Winnebago on the back

    I'm curious about this as I have a 10hp diesel 24v charger. Early on, a buddy told me in no uncertain terms not to attempt to charge a lithium or LiFePo4 battery with any charging system not specifically designed to allow for such. So I replaced the charging head with a generator head...

    VSN or MFG Serial No. for Registration?

    Clerks can accept SF97s made out from the gov to us *(in our names). no doubt. But the one we all get from BR transfers it from the gov to BR. Technically, it's their truck.

    VSN or MFG Serial No. for Registration?

    Good luck. That's the same exact situation and response I got from them down here when I was going thru this. RB has the gov transfer the vic into their name. Then RB transfers it to you via title reassignment. It's like if you tried to do that, you can't unless you are a licensed car...

    VSN or MFG Serial No. for Registration?

    And technically, they are correct. Same thing with RB and Texas when I went to register my trailer. They gave me tons of grief for having the title reassignment from RB. RB are not a licensed car dealer in the State of Texas and cannot legally reassign a title. The solution was supposed...

    Airlift/tie down bar steel grade

    I think he's talking about the male A1R's pintle when it sees a sexy female LMTV.... At least one build that I've seen had a rear slide out that has always sparked my interest. It'd be a cool way to support a rear patio or something...

    VSN or MFG Serial No. for Registration?

    It was a valid question. Where people often run into issue is the number of digits in the "VIN". Many (most) state computer systems req all 17 digits (and in the standardized format). It's technically not allowed that they add arbitrary numbers to fill in the missing numbers (although...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Yeah, but it's pretty tight in there. I've only seen pics but it was enough for me to say nope. ;) I don't see the advantage now, anyway. It's not that much additional clearance (an inch?). It just ups the replacement cost. And if you are doing it for higher speed, why not just go with...

    Third's Build Discussion

    I made some progress prepping the hab for paint two weeks ago. Got all the glue from the light fixtures off finally, filled and sanded any existing screrw holes, etc. Right up to the point tha the disc in my back failed again. Three months healing. Two days work. Rinse/repeat. Scheduled...

    Front running / parking lights not working

    You can always wire them as running lights. When I do my cab interioor I plan to change the running lights (ie: all parking lights front and read, markers, and brake light function) to come on with the ignition. I recall someone doing it years ago with the manual lever switch...

    Did I just buy a 2023 LMTV M1078A1 or not?

    Well it was listed and sold as a 2023. I'd have defaulted, too if I were in his shoes. :)

    Hideous M1088! Obviously a John Deer fan

    It's right up there with that pink and purple camo wrecker.

    FMTV windshield wiper home position

    This is the basic idea of how the wiper transmission works on a normal vehicle (and what happens when it does not catch the tab):
