    LMTV/MTV Workshop

    I figured out a nice way to let the laws of gravity and the tire hoist help you with changing a tire off the rim. Perhaps I'll demonstrate it at the event if there's a spare tire in need of changing. I plan on being there. Just a hop, skip, and a jump for me.

    Just won an auction - M1088A1

    If you got your CAD model from something like turbosquid you may have to resize the whole model. I've had two different models from them one of a Peterbilt and one of something else and all of them had been rescaled like 8% smaller or something like that

    M1088 camper conversion

    I have two of the filters as shown in the image up there with the y pipe. If that's the same kind that you're mentioning we only need one of then I'll sell my other one

    Out of morbid curiosity I looked up the alternator cuz when I tried to click on the link it said malware attempt. It's still a $2,200 alternator! Nice work though

    S-280 Shelter

    there is also this thing, but you would need a long wheelbase 6x6 FMTV or 5-ton for it: https://www.govplanet.eu/for-sale/Portable-Structures-Saginaw-32263-1-Portable-Shelter-California/13013287?h=5000%2Cq%7Cshalter&rr=0.14286&hitprm=&pnLink=yes

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    I would say don't necessarily spend the money on the tool until you try it other ways. Mine came off actually stupid easy and I ended up not even really needing it. I had a standard two jaw puller that was a big one. I put two pieces of pipe around the ends and put those in the yoke holes, and...

    Looking for m1079 van box and a fuel tank for an LMTV

    Eastern surplus might have one or might not. Good luck getting a hold of them! https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartDetails/4289/M109A4-2-and-a-half-ton-Van-Shelter-Box-Command-Center

    Looking for m1079 van box and a fuel tank for an LMTV

    I think you're looking for unobtainium. You probably got better luck looking for an s280 shelter as Sean Filner (fastidious restomods YouTube channel) has on his., or make your own with a kit from https://rvglobetrekker.com/.

    Using upper stock frame rails for subframe

    Nice image yeah I see that they supplemented the lack of a second frame rail with the plates. Even more reasons why the semi would be the best platform option for building a camper.

    Chucky's Worst Nightmare?

    Watch the build videos from Oscar overlander. The German guy living in Canada building on a Mercedes wilderness fire truck chassis.

    Using upper stock frame rails for subframe

    Yep I believe you are correct. But the second frame section you can mount anything and it's above the transmission it's also above the wheels. With my m1083 doing a flex test in the desert the wheels never go above the top of the second frame. So anything you mount to the second frame can be...

    Using upper stock frame rails for subframe

    To that I would say the m1088 only has the lower frame not an upper frame. Think the only reason for the second frame for the versions with the bed or a box is to put it above the transmission and also to reduce any flex that would make its way to the bed. If I were going to do this again I...
