Welcome from Charlotte, North Carolina, USA!
You are in good company. Quite a few of our members are in the EU.
There are quite a few who are happy to be OUT of the EU as well!
Welcome and please post a few pictures of your truck. We admire everything green (and tan).

Welcome from North Carolina!
Enjoy looking around here. There are lots of pictures and discussion about how to fix this or that. Lots of really helpful folks here too. When you get a little closer to your "target truck" don't hesitate to ask more questions. Maybe even read the "-10"...
Thanks for the pictures. Son was under and I wasn't. Definitely looks like the non-winch version is going to be a lot easier to get to with power tools. The mount with fairleads look like they might be a bear. I am hoping that the penetrating oil over the past few days will help when the...
Thanks Ronmar !
Loss of (Main Batt) power for a couple of weeks didn't appear to have harmed my truck when it went through the battery theft and trying to figure out how to properly connect it back. It still doesn't appear to be the way it was - but now it has been so long ago - who knows...

For sure if that is how it is stored. An extra eeprom is a small easily stored insurance policy.
Maybe before I die I can read enough to know about something BEFORE it breaks or needs repairs.

I got sidetracked on the winch installation on the M1088. Got it attached, then it got cold and rained off and on for several days in a row. Then the M1089 seemed more urgent since it has no rubber at all. Got the bumper off, skid plates off, have used penetrating on those bolts for several...

So, I have to ask...
You mentioned "3126 ECU’s track record of just loosing its brain when it’s internal battery craps:) ".
Stupid question I guess - but is there an internal battery (somewhere) that needs to be replaced? On some schedule?
AND if this battery is keeping some electronic...

Wow m715mike, That just looks COLD. Snow doesn't look all that deep, but with some wind it looks like it might get pretty miserable. I sure hope the College Station Rally gets a little bit of warm dry weather - and that the SHOW CAN GO ON!

Definitely neat looking critters
Ha! I keep looking around for something armored for myself. Found an M4 with rubber tracks and that would be fun to have. The trucks can be pretty expensive but the things that "clank like an armadillo" are even more so. Oh, and you will get an introduction...

Welcome from North Carolina!
Sounds like you are going to pack your bags and drive right past us as you head down to Texas... Happy to have you here. Don't hesitate to send some pictures of these tankettes. Sounds small and mobile.

Has anyone written or found a "tech tip" for how to replace the cab bushings on the LMTV?
I am headed that direction. The bumper is off and the skid plates are off. I have sprayed everything with penetrating oil for a few days. It appears that the nut on the bottom is 1 and 3/16th's but...
Was talking to a customer at work today. He mentioned that he had to drive his "toy car" to Virginia this evening. He was all excited that his new car had a "SNOW" button for traction. Not sure how well that will work, but he sure was happy to have that feature.
So, I was wondering: Maybe we...
I have had lots of fun with it. I have put a lot of hours in it though. Crazy things like outriggers rusted into their tubes and cables that have frozen up. It is getting better though. Last exciting thing was several hydraulic lines that were in crummy shape and one that busted back in the...
Very well said. I can remember sneaking in parts for future versions in our products.
However, it sounded so much more eloquent the way you said it. :cool:
Thanks for the conversation!
