    60,000 BTU heater in M1079

    Yep. I hit my head on that damned deflector thing once before it got deleted. LOL

    Fun LMTV article on Four Wheeler's website today.

    Cool find ! Looking good

    My First LMTV - M1078 A1 - Fluid Questions

    Hydraulic leak? It's the clearest I can think of, and it will mist all over the place if it's leaking at the latch/hose/control panel.

    I know the 53's are *really* close on the rear of the 6x6.

    FMTV gearing

    1) If I recall, Bryce has the 2.8x gears. A few folks on here run them. 3) Last I heard, Bryce was the last one persuing that but he stopped and shifted to converting AxelTech axels to retro fit (they have disc brakes, taller gears, and lockers already installed) but they obviously are not a...

    1995 M1078 Cranks But Won't Start

    So true. I'm going to be doing a swap here in the coming months. I've pulled car transmissions before even 4x4, but never anything of this scale. I do have a small crane that I can swing above the trans and I've ID'ed all the lines and bolts for disconnect to do the drop. But I ain't in my...

    How About a Military Camper Build Forum in General

    I don't recall if Dragonbyte of vBulletin will let an admin move a partial thread. I haven't kept up with the newer versions. That said, if you know the post number in your thread where the build starts, make a note of that. Perhaps the solution would be to replicate the thread instead of...

    Anyone with an LMTV Camper Thread

    I should have been a bit more clear. Post to the linked thread not this one. Fixed

    Anyone with an LMTV Camper Thread

    We're in the process of getting a Military Camper Build forum (yeah!). Anyone who has a build thread and would like to haver it migrated, staff has asked that you just let them know in the thread linked below...

    How About a Military Camper Build Forum in General

    No need to migrate unless the author wishes to do so. But if you build it they will come, as the saying goes...

    3D Printed Tachometer Gauge Pod, with 12V / USB Outlets

    Rgr all. It also dawned on me that clearance issue also arise when a Red Dot AC is added into the mix (even more so when it's a gen 3 due to extra height). And then there are the protection guards that extend the issues... I'm like you are far as trying to avoid obstructions to visibility...

    3D Printed Tachometer Gauge Pod, with 12V / USB Outlets

    Sweet stuff ! Personally, I'd kick the gauge face towards the driver and let the switches ride at 90° (just trying to fit the theme of the rest of the cockpit and the heater controls). Basically, keep the tech face at driver angle fit nicely over the airbrake controls. The rest squared up...

    Changing the front cab mounts on the 1078A1

    The steering side *IS* the worse of the two. I had grill, skid plate, and bumper off one time and remember saying to my self that that would be how I approached it when the time came (the current set are like new still). I've seen a few various methods for the driver side including jacking...

    How About a Military Camper Build Forum in General

    With so many people fleeing the censorship of FB etc and given that this site has such strong roots, would it be possible to add a General Group for camper build ideas? Just wondering as there are a lot of builders with no social media or forum platforms available (that do not wish to remain on...

  19. Third From Texas

    Has anyone done the trans radiator / engine bypass to reduce heat soak?

    I tried to start mine when we hit mid-teens. The starter was froze up. Everything was froze up. I went back inside. It's not supposed to do that down here. Stupid frozen windfarms and snow-covered solar need to get ripped out of our grid and replaced b7y new fossil-fired plants. :) I was...
