  1. Third From Texas

    What is it?

    That was my thought, but then he said it appeared to have a 12 inch radius
  2. Third From Texas

    What is it?

    Was the truck parked on an incline? Could the brakes have gotten wet prior to sitting?

    NATO Plugs (Alternatives)

    Ran across this just now. I wonder who else makes them. Tesla plugs will be stupid expensive (but still less than surplus I bet). LOL http://www.teslaind.com/products-connectors.php

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    True. Perhaps someone else will tackle the Axletech proof of concept. Like the old 3.07's used to be, they can be had for a dime-a-dozen and by the truckload.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Yep. Dunno why he didn't pursue the Axletech project other than he he's still dragging home truckloads of 3:07s. It would even resolve the driveline vibrations the Meritor suffers due to the harsh angle aft.

    Just switch to an Axletech driveline. Then the MRAP wheels will fit. *and you'd have highspeed gears, air lockers, and disc brakes. ;p

    M1088 with 4 (Four) leads into the battery box

    And the cable terminal clamps also have two sizes. Ground is the smaller. So the longer cable with the smaller clamp should be the ground.

    M1088 with 4 (Four) leads into the battery box

    Typically, if they were laid in order where they came off... Starting at 2:00 (inboard left) will be the 2x 24v. The 11:00 (inboard right) will be the 12v. The 5:00 (outboard right) would be the ground.

    odd ball whistle on 1078 ?

    Truck porn. Sounds like it started just prior to the dump valve releasing? If replicable, I'd start there.

    Moving my Transmission cooler

    Good stuff here. I've got a big fan cooler that I intend to stuff into the back frame someday. Waiting until I get the box off to attempt it, but I'm going to start measuring my runs for lines and fab my brackets up.

    Yeah, I see now that you're talking about a post from last year. I was referring to the most recent video in the thread. My bad.

    You do know that the guy where talking about here built this truck by hand from the ground up, right? While he holds down a real job.

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

    Yeah, I saw where he had crashed earlier in the month. Sucks as they were just getting into the maiden voyage. btw: if you've not seen how he made his slideouts, you should check it out...
