    Battery Box for M1082 Trailer

    I tossed together a thing.... Bolted down a 24" x 24" Harding as battery box for the trailer. Two Walmart deep cycle batteries Two battery holder bases with straps Solar controller Battery disconnect Power monitor 120v charger Inverter 120v in and out connections Cooling fan 50 amp circuit...

    10' Cabover camper on a M1078

    Yeah, but I still set up my Claymores just in case...of ...ah... bears. Yeah, bears....

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I got a M1082 next to the driveway, one IN the driveway, next to my M1079. And it's a pretty step driveway (going to be interesting doing my entire hab build on an incline, lol). The M1078 was on the street for 9 months until it got green tagged by the city (I'd have liked to see them try...

    Decon stuff

    And that bolt hole pattern matches the standard Jerry can base. I carried a water can there on my last truck. :)

    Troop transport alarm

    So the guys in the back can annoy the driver with persistant buzzes. I sends a double-tone to the air alarm on the dash.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I used to cover the phones at my business partner's trans shop. On busy days I would help with the occasional tear down. From what I've see in the 34 TM there's nothing that jumps out as special to do a rebuild. I have a pretty sharp '94 that had gone back thru BAE around '08 or so. I got...

    Light switch differences?

    The guy with "Bantha" got a tan A1R version. *it should be illegal for someone to own TWO M1087s ;p I noticed in this video he states that his mechanic told him having LEDs on an A1R will cause a fire. I laughed my ass off. The LEDs were all that ever came on any LMTV/MTV A1R that I've...

    IMO, sure. Surprises are fun ! And FREE stuff is fun ! Toss a new switch cover on it and enjoy...

    Moving my Transmission cooler

    Meh, you could have gotten the proper color surplus lines if you had just been willing to part with 3x the money. Of course it would be rubber from the 90's. but at least it would be REAL lmtv military hose which as everyone knows rots far superior to fresh civilian hose. I won't say to...

    10' Cabover camper on a M1078

    I tent camped with my Harleys for a lot of years. My brother would have none of it, though. He said he did enough tent camping in Nam. I get it... :)

    M1078A1 -10 Technical Manual

    A1 only (and I have an A1R). So yeah, sounds like you have what's useful in it. But it has a smattering of C7 info. Not much about the C7 (very few A1's ever saw the C7), but it does show stuff like the A1 dash, etc and makes a few references. Honestly, I've found the TM to be of little...

    Functional wheel valve after CTIS removal (?)

    Yes, but I don't pay 2000% markup for it. ;p

    M1078A1 -10 Technical Manual

    Yeah, I get that. I'm simply saying that the info is there in pdf form. It's searchable. And no different than thumbing thru a print copy.

    Functional wheel valve after CTIS removal (?)

    Meth is a big problem. And you'd have to be on a crapload of it to buy anything from old Joe. Go to eBay and search LMTV. Enjoy surfing thru all the stuff with his watermark. Look at the prices and THEN tell me who is on drugs. I truly feel sorry for the poor bastards who don't know...

    M1078A1 -10 Technical Manual

    The 20 and 34 parts that I have in folders are in fact .pdf. Yes, the reader does lot's of cool stuff, but in the end it's just a pdf reader. I have never installed the software or the included reader. Yet I have full access to the pdfs and can open them on my PC with Adobe's free reader...

    10' Cabover camper on a M1078

    That that's exactly why I just sailed past the idea years ago. I camp on the Island 90% of the time and doing so in a "tent" is like rolling in cat litter after running a marathon in 100 degree heat.. My experiences primitive tent camping in arctic conditions also led me to conclude to...

    Functional wheel valve after CTIS removal (?)

    No thank you. I'm sorry, but their prices are an utter embarrassment and disgrace to the surplus business. Whatever you are looking for that sends you there, can be found elsewhere for a fraction of the price.
