    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Can confirm they can be swapped L and R. All those little numbered tags just confuse things. Peel them off. ;)

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    How are you tying the aluminum frame to the walls?

    Newbie in over their head

    Varies by state. Good looking truck. I have a '94 like that. It's an S&S truck but you can tell it went back thru for a refit in the mid-2000's by the BAE placard. Would have seen fresh paint, seats, floors, lights, tires, cover, fluids, etc plus a thorough inspection.

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    This is next on my list of things to do with this. I have a little 50w panel and controller that keep the batteries in my M1082 trailer topped off. Since the cooler will be in the trailer when used, I want to add another little panel to keep it topped off. I like redundancy and having another...

    LMTV Hitch Extension Kit installed!

    Yep, that's what I sort of have planned. Part of me was concerned that there was no additional bracing at the base (like most folks add to their civilian receiver mods). But I figure that it's it's tough enough for the pintle it should hold a little receiver slung under it. My only hesitation...

    LMTV Hitch Extension Kit installed!

    You'll have to fight Geo for it. He's been eyeballing it for a looooong time....

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    I've seen those on plenty of HMMVWs

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    Reciprocity adds to the complexity. States will honor licenses and registrations issued from another state. When in doubt, they go to the federal playbook iirc. Thus, DOT is king...

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    Check your local laws before attaching any headlight guard of cover (even clear) to an on-road vehicle. Most states have outlawed them (even clear). The theory is that anything in front of the lens can interfere with projection.

    Clean install!

    lmtv/fmtv after market door pull/cup holder ?

    Isn't that a $12 Harbor Freight tool holder that they put a logo on? ;p

    Never one around when you need it. ;)

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    I know, I was just making fun of the cost. Heated seats, heated lights, heated floors....these things are very strange to an old fart from S. Texas. We didn't have those things in my day (nor a need for them). But that's still a lot of money for a friggin' headlight. :)

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    I use a hammer when I see the heated ones. j/k ;p

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    You can get the heated LED headlights from any of a number of <insert_point_of_compass_here> vendors for only only $700 a piece. THOSE are the best, obviously ! (and they break just like any other, so be careful with them) LOL

    General Dynamics Portable Vehicle Arresting Barrier Manual?

    Hell if I know now. I couldn't pull a link off that site to the pdf. I ran that the NSN and the TM number and got to a gas mask (3rd-party site). Looked dodgy and I don't d/l dodgy. I've been surfing for this thing for a week and I've no idea where all it's sent me. Still no joy finding a...

    ‘Other’ air conditioning options…

    My first truck had a/c installed in it when I acquired it. It only had the default cab insulation kit. Why didn't it come with additional insulation? I never asked the seller so you'd have to ask him. I got the impression he wanted to keep it as stock as possible (he had a nice collection).
