So I saved this pic for a rainy day (not my truck in top image) because I liked the concept's potential for stowage, luggage, motorcycle, etc. I want to fab a few various decks for it depending on what I'm hauling. And I want it to "go away" so I can still pull my M1082 , car hauler, etc...

Free speech is an awesome right not always allowed in forums. Good for you guys ! Thanks for the change....

Semi-related: I picked up a little tow bar the other day. Surplus has them for about $1500 (not including the box of included "goodies"). Too rich for my blood. This wasn't though... It appears to be the full kit. Never even seen a NOS full kit before. *I've masked any indication of which...

Did I miss who did the shaft balancing?

Has anyone just dropped a new set of cylinders into the locks. Should be about $20 for the set with keys...

So much this. I wish Bryce had pursued his air locker quest at the manufacture level.

Yes, the army never spec'ed them and it would have been nice. As far as I know the lockers available are not air or e-lockers (they are "locked") . Most folks only slap on in the rear unless the truck is full-time off-road because lockers will cause you outboard wheel to "skip" in a tight...

Don't have it on me and I'd hate to tell you wrong info. But you can screw the truck up if you don't follow the procedures/restrictions on Mode use (ie: not a good idea to slap it into mode going down the highway, etc).

And these trucks are not really 4x4. They are technically more along the lines of AWD. Pity they didn't see fit to incorporate lockers and give the trucks actual four-wheel locking capability

Button on the trans control. BUT...there are a number of restrictions. It's in the truck operator's manual. Do you have that TM?

Hey, if the Army figured out how to make an expandable box....

It's not *you* who isn't very wise in Seattle, trust me. ;)

Downtown Seattle? I hope you get hazard pay. ;)

IMO, nay as well get the 30. You'll need it for the next change. It's the nice part about using oil. It can be used in either hole. *for more tips on visiting Bangkok, see my travel blog ;p

Just start the truck. Steps are SILENT ! ;)

Well for only half-a-million what do you expect?

I can barely feed my M1079 with a CAT C7 at 8 mpg. 3 mpg in a MTVR would be no joy for me. There were some clean MTVRs that were intact and running, but I gotta draw a line somewhere. LOL

As it should be with powered. Cool

Not too slow. Is it fire and forget? Or you holding the switch?
