    I thought you found some "before" pictures. LOL

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Videos or it never happened. ;p There are actually a couple owners here with LMTV drifting videos.

    <Clint Eastwood voice> "The last time a guy asked me if the truck was bulletproof I said no, shot him thru the door, and drove away." ;p

    Poor man rim (ctis wheel valve) protection

    Seth has a video of that actually happening with Brutus. They brushed against/crushed a log or something and tore off the valve if I recall. I've got covers on my truck and I've had some nice scrapes on them so I know they are working. :)
  6. Third From Texas

    interesting E-shmay find.

    Yeah, but it's got the ever elusive driver-side antenna mount. Last time I saw one of those on <insert_point_of_compass_surplus_scalper_here> website they were selling for $75K just for the bracket! Totally worth it. Supply and demand, ya know....

    Third's Build Discussion

    Had a little back injury back in Nov. It'll be OK if I'd just stay off my feet for a few days. But that ain't gonna happen. So here I am a month later. lol

    M1087 vs bridge

    Heh When we went to Hooks to recover a M1082 trailer, they gave gave us a crappy printed map, opened the gate, and said to follow the signs. Of course, many of the signs were missing or down. And a couple of the turns were not clear. So after an hour of driving the M1079 ALL OVER and...

    1995 1078 NOS ctis inflating tires to 80psi and flashing over speed at 30mph

    The question to ask is can a new later-model controller work with an older model truck (I suspect we're seeing the answer here with your results, but you should be able to look back to various threads). You're not the first A0 owner to be sold an incompatible, later-model controller. The...

    Making your own Shc-35 battery pack? This helps!

    Funny. I ordered a set last night and they arrived today. I was like...whaaaat? Then I saw they were just down the coast from me. LOL

    Making your own Shc-35 battery pack? This helps!

    I was just at the electronic store yesterday looking for that molex connector. All they had locally in 9-pin was a .93 size and it looked way too small.

    1995 1078 NOS ctis inflating tires to 80psi and flashing over speed at 30mph

    It wouldn't be allowed to do that on MY truck. :)

    1995 1078 NOS ctis inflating tires to 80psi and flashing over speed at 30mph

    Wrong CTIS controller? Sounds like you may have a newer version on an older truck. I recall reading somewhere that that's no bueno.

    Rear Tail Lights

    If I'm not mistaken, these trucks don't have a separate run/turn/brake circuit. I think they are limited to "on" (running/park) and "intermittent" (flasher/brake). I don't think that there is a third independent signal wired (brake and flash share the same). So like most all vehicles...

    M1087 vs bridge

    It ended up in Hooks, TX for disposal. A lot of trucks do. Why? It's the Army way...

    2008 A1R with 260a charging questions

    Texas took a sharp turn and banned dune buggies some years back. Sent out letters demanding the titles and plates back. You must register your vehicle in the state you reside. I found a less-anal state that registers them, started an LLC in that state, licensed the cars, and they are...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Just get larger rims and less tire. Easier to balance... *I bet the CA owners in here are sporting wood about now "rad d00d"

    FMTV chassis selection for camper build

    Oh I'm not debating the rarity of the truck. I'm just pointing out that searching GP's prior sales will result in incomplete info/picture with regards to what's been sold by them (and often for what amount). For example, HETs are rare and fetch very high prices (50-75K). A few months...
