    Balance, sm'alance....just put a good twist in it about 1/3 of the way up. ;)

    The correct response to "Why do you need a military trailer?!!!"

    "Because the the wait on paperwork for a truck wasn't long enough"

    Ready to test the new configuration

    Lots of clearance. What's next, you going to frame and skin it like a race truck?

    I have joined the club ! And yes I have lost my mine !

    Tons of folks over on the VanLife groups and over on Expedition Portal use those in their builds. It's what I had planned to use until I switched trucks for the build (my 1079 has a habitat heater already).

    Anyone have a recommendation for towing a m1082 with an F150?

    I saw one in Houston being towed by an F150 so I know it can be done and a proper hitch is out there. No suggestions, though...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Out with the old and in with the new... Got the monitor mounted for cameras and nav. Drilled a hole and drained a gallon of water out of the floor.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Repaired a busted corner on the lower front cover. A little MarineTex and some heavy mat, wax paper, and a couple boards clamped together over it to compress the patch. Will trim off the excess, paint, and toss it back on tomorrow. Since I spend a lot of time at the beach, going up those...

    Problem... what problem..... addict..... whoo me?? (another LMTV follows me home)

    Flexseal, etc. Don't waste money on an OEM seal (they suck anyway and eventually leak) Any luck diddling with the glad hands? You have another controller in the other truck? Hose at actuator or cut/crimped/pinched somewhere by mechanics? Closed system with a vent hose at the back of the...

    NATO Camo TM/TB (that includes LMTV/MTV)?

    Does anyone have the modern TB for camo paint jobs? The only one I have is up to 1990 and does not include our trucks.

    New seat covers

    Good question. If anyone is sitting on them (pun) they sure are keeping them under wraps. I see a few odd bits across fleeBay but random. I'm thinking of just peeling mine off and have one of the local upholstery shops make them back up up. It's bound to be cheaper.

    Dewey Battery Charging Aux Power Unit - Generator Head Swap

    Well after GP "lost" my BAPU (after 7 freight pickup attempts over three weeks and then took another 5 weeks to refund my money), I purchased (from *another* auction house) a surplus Yanmar LV100 (same engine) genset with a bad power head. It ran flawlessly and I finally got around to ordering...

    The price of a/c

    I guess that there is no way of telling what the BTU's were for the Gen1 and Gen2 kits. I see a lot of people stating that 33000 btu are ideal for an LMTV, but what about a well insulated LMTV with tinted windows, etc. That number just seems excessive when the HMMWV ac units were developed to...
