. Nice looking truck... Sitting there inside and away from the snow and cold. Almost looks like brand new!

. Maybe somebody that has a door that is in good condition could snap a picture - and possibly you could weld in some replacement metal... Maybe? Or maybe a replacement door if somebody happens to have one sitting around.

. Not everybody has a 3/4 inch torque wrench and they aren't cheap either. Using a half inch and a torque multiplier will work. --- And then comes the other part of the discussion... When I worked on trucks to pay my bills, I never torqued a wheel onto a military truck. Just the sights and...

. Ain't it great!? Everybody working together, sharing information... Sometimes a picture can be worth a thousand words and now all of us know what we are talking about. This is a GREAT place to be!

. That looks like a good plan.

. The FLU really is the equipment in question...

. No. Go ahead and invest in yourself and the happiness of your truck. Fuse or Circuit Breaker on everything that you add will be your best plan.

. Agreed! About both parts...

. If you decide to fabricate something, the LMTV's have a web strap that is attached to the inside of the door and the frame. Pictures below:

. blutow , The mind blowing part of these trucks is knowing that the mechanics who worked on them had a parts crib behind them who had anything you might want. Nobody wants to admit it, but there are 18 of those cute little tabs on that locking ring. Use one and there are 17 more to be used...

. I could have sworn that piece just slipped into the slot in the Deuce Door. Then the Door Check Rod connected with the cotter pin.

. Thinking about our neighbor at the print shop... They have a dispatch center here in the mechanical building. Every other week, promptly at 0800, their propane powered generator kicks off and runs at speed for a half hour. Unattended. Nobody walks out there and looks at it or opens the...

. Just sitting here looking... Darn good thing that the door swings IN on your habitat. Otherwise, I guess the awning would have been darn near impossible. Can't wait to see it setup and then you gotta find yourself some gaudy LED lights to hang from the front edge...

. White Owl is "good people". Not quite as old as dirt, but they have been in the business for a long time. Lots of knowledge and willing to share. Especially on older green hardware...

. Well, it sounds to me like you have some pretty good plans. I understand the outdoor shop. That is what I have here. I do have crushed, ground asphalt to work on, but a floor jack punches right through it. No mud and that is good, but if it is cold I just get cold and when it rains me and...

. Oh yeah! Looks sharp Owen!!

. Be sure to put up an ad. I finally have a patch of concrete that I can use my floor jack on. I have a 5-Ton and then I need to get something that will work with these LMTV's (M107x & M108x) that I have too and it might be useful to have one for the 7-Ton (MK23) too. Seems that I am not...

. Hi Owen! That is looking really sharp! Nice round lines like a real truck should have... Sure would be neat to see if from the front - next time the sun comes out. :) Projects help keep us all busy. Sure hope we have a real Spring this year with some warm weather rather than jumping...

. There was a member selling them here in the Classifieds. I have not seen that listing in a while...

. Looks like your sidekick Bailey was enjoying the job. In the shade. Observing. Super(visor) Dog. :cool:
