    Still, ya posted *somebody's" number. ;p

    Diy center console stereo

    Yep. Only saving grace with the LMTV is having so much open space to slide over and reach the crank. But with the center console installed, it creates a bit more of a barrier. As far as music goes, I don't find it any more distracting than wearing intercom cans. In fact, I always...

    Tie rod and drag link dust boot part number and links

    Yeah, a lot of what I found for motor mounts and cab mounts use 80A

    Diy center console stereo

    *If* I ever get around to building my center console, I can see how power windows would be nice. I typically shy away from things like power windows in my off-road vics (one more thing to break) but if I put a center console in they would sure come in handy to get that...

    Tie rod and drag link dust boot part number and links

    Learning stuff here... Trying to get an idea of what poly to use for bushings. https://gallaghercorp.com/polyurethane-load-bearing-capacity/ So say Shore 80A is ~$120/gal...that should be enough for all the rubber bits and LMTV has onboard...

    And cab bushings. They are out there somewhere (beyond just hockey pucks). I've got a clean set that I'm tempted to scan/cast/or just make a squish mold and pour. I can make myself a dozen cheaper than the cost on ONE from a <point_of_compass_surplus_scalper>. But making stuff...

    Oh yeah, I was member on there long before I started looking at military trucks as a platform. I'm typically poking around in here: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/other-custom-expedition-camper.74/ :)

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    There's one of those cabs for sale, but he wants to sell it as a spare with the truck ($10K for the cab)..

    Third's Build Discussion

    Yep. Keep in mind that while one of the reasons these must be vented is heat dispersal the second is gas leak dispersal. And propane is heavier than air, so it sinks. The potential issue with having an inside lower vent is if there were a leak, you flood the hab with gas...

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    Did you rebuild/insulate the forward upper boxes that you set up for storage? My OEM heater up there has never functioned properly (goes to "fault" constantly). And LOL at the massive cavern on the left that holds the tiny 110v fan. I'm torn between using the space for internal...

    Yeah, I have the corner moldings. The fridge box has a combustion and ventilation chamber build into the back as per Dometic

    Third's Build Discussion

    Still tinkering with the bathroom. Got two of the three walls framed and panels cut. The rear-most wall encompasses the (unused) driver-side door. I want to retain the ability to open the door (there will be a small back patio and I'm planning on adding a shower outlet...

    Diy center console stereo

    Toss a 12v PC fan in there for good measure. Noctua 120 and 140 are dead silent. And if you want to get *really* fancy, add a 100° switch. :) https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-F12-PWM-4-Pin-Premium/dp/B00650P2ZC/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CV4YQ18/

    LMTV M1078 and M1079 Mechanical Help Needed in Addison, Texas

    fyi: the original Hawkers are great batteries, but any 12v car/truck batteries would have worked. And unless you live above the arctic circle, two batteries are all that are needed. Even the commercial 6TL batteries from NAPA or Interstate are overkill. And unless it's an A1R...

    Not the usual Motor Oil vs Trans Oil thread

    I have an '08 and I'm in the same boat. The dipstick looks like ATF. I've been tempted to pull some from the sample port.
