I have not posted in a long time so i want to share some info. Installed one of Steve's lockers in the rear and decided to remove the XZLs and try some more agressive tires. Same dia as the 395s but wider. MPT bead but I found a set of 20x11 hutchinson MPT wheels. They are only rated for...

Hey folks. Just arrived into Washington DC today. Drove the LMTV from near Houston to DC. It was a nice trip. Weather is perfect for windows down driving. Brought with me two WWII Harley Davidson WLA motorcyes that belong to friends riding in the convoy. Stopped off to show Nugent the WLAs...

Ok folks. After searching for a year I finally got a light-side plug for the female plug on the back of the cab. Will have my avionics guys at work get me the specs on this thing and post the findings here. Time for strobes and a disco ball... justin Wehring 979 997 3112

Hey folks. I am at the W&P show and ran across one of the Steyer 12M18 (FMTV cab) trucks. The owner is from Austria. This thing has some very nice features that the U.S. Trucks did not get.... Air ride seats, fold out wing window on door for ventilation, rear window, window covers, locking...

Decided to equip the LMTV to pull a gooseneck. Will have trailer brakes and lights. More to come. Pulled the receiver hitch out of the frame section and prepping it for the cody hitch I use in my F350. More to come this weekend. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

Hey folks. Broke a bolt on the idler pulley and cut the drive belt. Took a lot of pics and have some good repair info. Will post info this weekend. Justin Wehring

I added a bed crane to the LMTV. These beds have 4"x4" holes at each corner so we added a base to the crane so it can be moved around to each corner. It has a 2000# capacity and extends to 7'. The arm folds down to store against the mast. It is a Liftmoore L21W and I had it primed and...

I spent the day "proving" the mods on the beach and around the ranch cleaning up from the recent storm. Hammock and snacks at the beach and a bonfire tonight. It was a great way to enjoy the LMTV. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

65 mph, cruise control set and no shakes, shimmys or vibrations... it is truly a joy to drive at freeway speeds. Watch the headset cables at the end. They are not moving. The chain is barely swinging. It now has excellent road manners. I have a proven recipe for the LMTVs to convert them...

Took this after the bad storm in South Texas blew through. justin wehring

Hey folks. Working on a deuce this weekend. First one in a few years so it has been fun getting back into one. This is a bobber that I made a few years ago for a friend. The brake pedal is hard but it still stops. Searched on here and talked to a few fellow SS. All info pointed to the...

They DO exist. Posted pic in Wehrings LMTV Modifications thread. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

I just took a 30 hour roadtrip in a C7/allison freightliner M2. It is similar to the LMTV in many ways except for the planetary type hubs. How do y'all think they are going to hold up to high mileage use? There is a very fine line between the front wheel bearings being too lose and the spider...

I am making a trip to Warner Robins, GA next week. Empty 25' gooseneck from TX to GA. CALL, CALL, CALL if you need asistance. I will not be on SS between now and then. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

OK folks... here is a bone. This cost me a shiny nickle but for the greater good of the sport you get this for free. Here is a diagram for adding cruise control to the C7 powered trucks. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

I have made several mods to the M1078A1R LMTV and some have been discussed in separate threads so I decided to start one thread to have one place to post them and all future mods. I hope this helps... so far it has received: * 6.14 axle gears (added 15 mph at same rpm) * cut and extended bed...

CAT tech just left and the LMTV now has an accurate speedo and a 330hp flash. When we changed the axle gears from 7.80 to 6.14 the speedo was off by 15mph. Here is the info you need to give your CAT guy to correct ... 40291 pulses per mile Found in vehicle speed cal in engine ECM...

Does anyone have pics (or have one) of the in-bed 1500# capacity cranes for the M1078? There are 4 square holes in the bed (one at each corner) for this... gotta have one. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112
