Something like that could be satisfied with a fiberglass wheel cover (or thin steel, alum, etc). It would be simple to make a more "cosmetic" cover so to speak (that wouldn't be of much value off road or rock crawling).

There are two types: the older, shorter ones on the AO and the newer, longer ones that came on the A1/A1R. I've had both and they could be swapped L/R. The only thing is the driver's instruction sticker (for the dash lights) that is normally facing the driver in the down position would be...

Yes sir. Compressor mount.

So are you going to relocate the one turbo cooling line and mount this just like a commercial truck? Or are you going to try and fab it in on the driver side like the military spec'ed?

Why not just enlist and enjoy current military vehicles in other countries? ;p

The work of a motivated individual, no doubt. :)

I prefer videos :)

Ujoints and a Tiger Tool

I know the ones out of Canada from Total Composites start around $10K for an empty shell (well, a set of panels that arrive in a conex container).

We have a guy on the FB group that is in prototype with his first run. They aren't OEM design, but they are modern rock guards as seen on rock crawlers, sand cars, etc. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1607576859556624/ Someone on here was looking at making some out of composite/carbon...

Thanks for the reminder. I keep forgetting to add this to my list...

Are you on FB? There's a FB group named "lmtv mtv military trucks" and folks trade/buy/sell/play forward stuff all the time. Lots of folks with parts trucks. Bed hardware is so common and slow to move and takes up tons of space, so it's often scrapped. Someone on there can hook you up...

I'm planning to welding mine shut and doing some filler before I sound/heatproof the cab and build my upper console.

I'm an A1R owner and I can confirm that is for this truck It would sure be nice to finally have something specific to the A1R and C7 Good job ! ;)

Now would be a great time to cut out the military connector and replace it with a civilian 4-wire plug. Pros: 1) Less expensive 2) Easily acquired Cons: 1) May not come in military green 2) No fun to hoard 3) Cannot resell for 500% markup

Yeah, a lot of my buds moved there in the 80's to windsurf. Some are still out that way kiting.

Echoing the two batteries to get you going. I've run only dual bats in both my trucks with no issue (other than a thicker wallet). I wouldn't recommend it for sub-zero weather, so watch your thermometer on Maui. ;) Battery layout credit from someone else here (sorry, I don't recall).

Can of FlexSeal "As Seen On TV!" Mine doesn't leak but I might want the truck to float up-side-down...

You could actually make one that plays any tune. Basic concept is the same here:

Those guys make $3500 a *day* off YouTube streams. That's what's crazy, d00dz. ;)
