If you want a thorough education on Expedition Vehicles, look to the Russians. View all of the videos on them on Youtube "Siberia Arctic Expedition 2015" These guys are amazing, They use MAN trucks. In Siberia the weather is torture. Watch them rebuild a compressor on the fly. There is no...
I have been reading through this thread. I think the LMTV is for a very handy and patient owner. Everything rubber and plastic is going to fail. These are maintenance intense vehicles. That being said, it won't kill you nor typically kill your bank account if you stay right on top of the...

6. Bring h2o to rinse off muddy parts

Avoid silent death-How to add an EGT gauge with a PID
Here is an inexpensive way to add an EGT exhaust gas temperature gauge. I will be increasing the accuracy of this unit by adding a cold junction compensation mechanism. This particular unit I already had and it reads in Celsius. You will...
