Just the momentum of pulling it keeps the tires in the right direction and when turning they naturally track in the direction of the vehicle towing.

Went over to Jim's after work and picked up a fuse box cover, new window, a light switch and a complete spare. I even learned how to mount the tire onto the rim. Very nice guy and prices were great! He had a spare turret cover but the edges were rusted and the overall condition wasn't that...

I'm interested as well. Would like to see pictures of this setup. Are you talking like the same way you can do it on civi vehicles. I had one for the truck that sits in a cradle and you just move it front to back.

This is why I'm not just going to start it up and see if it'll run smooth. I'm going to go through each fluid and check what the current level is as well as the color before changing it all.

I have not heard of many but I don't own the tow bar. Either way it worked as it should for a 3-3.5hr drive we had. we also had safety chains hooked up which we added after I took that picture.

I've seen some on ebay. Search for IBIS TEK tow bar. PN: 2540-01-577-3683 or 2512-100-0. It's rated for up to 44k lbs.

Yes, and that's what the water is doing when it sits behind the "duck bill". A drop of water may not allow it to open but if water did build behind it, it would open. The more water behind it, the more open it becomes.

Used the newer mill spec tow bar and connected air lines from the back of the 5-ton to the LMTV.

So I was wrong about the color, it's actually red. Also in that first picture, it appears to have a plug of some sort missing at the top. When I'm at Jim Henry's place I'm going to verify what's supposed to be there.

This is exactly what I have heard. Also why they have stopped issuing titles out of FL for Govplanets HMMWV's.

Have you done anything else to your LMTV? I have been following this thread like a hawk because I have a 1081.

I'm heading over to Jim Henry's after work to try and get a spare tire, turret cover and the window glass. From looking at the TM, seems the glass is interchangeable from the 1078 to 1081, can anyone confirm that?

I haven't gotten that far yet. I'm going to get some batteries today but am going to do another once over underneath and make sure nothing is disconnected before cranking on her. I did notice when I was under it briefly when taking out the front driveshaft that on the bottom of the exhaust was...

This is what I needed so I knew what the fuse was for. Looks like the only ones I'm really missing are either blanks or something related to WTEC-III

Mine never went over seas and its tan over green and the interior is green.

All the signs on Bragg Blvd say DLA Truck entrance. That's the one I'm talking about. I didn't see any sings called Knox Gate.

That whistle :shock:

In case this comes up here is the correct fuse locations and sizes.

I used a OTC 5190A U-joint puller. They're on the expensive side but make the job simple. All I did was remove the 2 bolts per cap, then put on the puller and cranked down and it pushed out the caps. Do it once more to get the drive shaft out. If you want to replace the u joint once the...
