    !CLOSED! Cab Mount Group Buy. NEW OEM FMTV LMTV M1078, M1079, etc

    2 trucks or 4 trucks? A "SET" does one A0/A1 truck, and half of an A1R truck. There is not an option to purchase "pairs". Only sets of 4 bushings - 2 of each style. I'm not dealing with breaking up sets to make up pairs. There's 50 sets of 4 bushings being made.

    FMTV Brake drum fitment

    Interesting. If the drum is not flush against the hub flange I would say that's a problem and if the studs are holding it up and it needs a matching bevel inside the drum stud holes I would clearance it till it sits flush against the hub flange.

    CTIS wheel covers (CTIS Armor) - CAGE code?

    Anyone that has the factory CTIS wheel covers that protect the CTIS valve and hose assemblies - can you tell me if the CAGE code stamped on them is 19207 or something else? I'm looking for any past manufacturers of NSN# 2540-01-489-5928 Unfortunately they are listed with CAGE code of 19207...

    There are 50 trucks worth of bushings being manufactured. 100 thick, and 100 thin. That's 4 bushings for each truck (set). 1 set is 2 thick bushings, and 2 thin bushings. A0 and A1 require 1 set of 4 bushings. A1R has to purchase 2 sets of 4 bushings because it uses 7 out of the 8 due to...

    Caiman MRAP wheels on a LMTV

    Well..... that might be the case but I have no issues at 50-60 MPH with my wheels. On smooth pavement my truck is exceptionally smooth. :shrugs:

    Caiman MRAP wheels on a LMTV

    My steel rim 2008 vintage Goodyears rounded out nicely after daily driving for 6 months and I don't have any balancing issues. I think the subject of balancing is largely a case of these vehicles not being driven enough to have round tires. That's just my experience though. It took a LONG time -...

    Caiman MRAP wheels on a LMTV

    No "modification" required. You just call Hutchinson and buy the 4 special lug nuts for it. And you need the different lug nuts they require in general for all the rest. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/aluminum-wheels.202004/page-2#post-2359521

    Class E in GA still a viable option?

    My insurance has never asked for a registration or a plate number. They just want the make, model, and VIN and in my case since they were unable to look up a value for it they gave it a stated value policy based on what I paid for the truck. But I have a very unusual business insurance policy...

    Class E in GA still a viable option?

    Technically that is almost always the case. BUT in REALITY there's usually very little interest (in my experience zero) on the part of law enforcement to hassle the Veteran driving an Army truck. Our group is largely made up of upper-middle-class white guys with concealed handgun licenses and no...

    Class E in GA still a viable option?

    Yeah it's super easy. You pay for the titling and licensing online and they send you a form packet. You send them all your paperwork - the only mildly difficult part is the VIN inspection. I have a friend that's a used car dealer in Oregon that was happy to do it for me. There are several...

    Class E in GA still a viable option?

    Often driving way out to a rural DMV helps a lot. They work with a lot of farmers and so forth and are used to manipulating the rules. DMV's in the city want the "permanent" cooking and sleeping facilities and all that jazz while a rural DMV clerk will often be fine with a sleeping bag and a...

    Class E in GA still a viable option?

    Just go with www.dirtlegal.com then. Their process is painless and they are extremely helpful. Awesome customer service. If Georgia doesn't want to play ball then give your money to Utah. That's what I did. Apparently my state doesn't want my money and doesn't understand they might as well take...

    Class E in GA still a viable option?

    I have never heard of anyone even being pulled over in an LMTV for any reason......... I drove my M1079 from Texas to Oregon with no plates, no trip permit.... nothing at all showing on the outside of the truck. I had insurance, title, and bill of sale with me of course. Was followed, passed...

    Class E in GA still a viable option?

    In many states (including Georgia as far as I can tell) you don't need a CDL for a motorhome or RV regardless of weight. So any FMTV being used and successfully registered as such are exempt no matter what their weight or characteristics are. Throw a sleeping bag and a Coleman stove in the back...
