    GMV roof holes

    Guessing, maybe a hole for the Blue Force Tracker satellite transceiver, which is roughly 10" square.

    armasafe plus battery maintenance

    My understanding is that the liquid is contained in a paste kinda like oil is contained in grease.

    Emergency rescue operations M929a2 prep

    You did not make the right choice. If you want to help in the hurricane affected zone along the coast, you need a flat bottom boat. During Harvey, every rescue we did, our high water military trucks could not get to the houses, but boats could. The trucks ended up being ineffective transfer...

    armasafe plus battery maintenance

    It's an AGM absorbed glass mat battery. All they need is an AGM maintainer connected 24-7-365 and they will last 10+ years.

    New owner of 1997 LMTV

    The Army didn't drain the Allison just for s___s and grins. They were about to pull it when someone decided coding it out was funner.

    raise and lower cab

    None the safety braces on my trucks go overcenter either. Yes these trucks are no G742, they all have these type issues and much worse too. Spend some time searching the FMTV forum for bizarre problems other people have had with the cab lift. There have been several resolutions posted by folks.

    raise and lower cab

    1950 Kaiser Jeep M35A2
