I was lucky, the two cabs I have are perfect.

I had a commercial driver that stopped by the shop to drop off a lift and he said his family had several old trucks and trailers with these rims. He said it IS NOT a split rim but rather a safety bead that you can remove with a screw driver. Still leaves me to find 9.0-16 highway tires for the...

I purchased a piece of history recently. I have an Electronics Shop, Trailer Mounted AN/MPM-46B that has Dual wheel assemblies front and back with a pintle draw bar in stead of a 5th wheel king pin. The Tires are 8 PLY 9.00 - 16 highway tires. The wheels are a dual wheel assembly with 5 lugs...

We have a couple of LMTVs with trailers that we are planning to travel in. I am pretty sure Mik will be going, but we would always be willing to bring stuff back for him.

Hi Guys, LMTVman (Lance ) and I will be traveling about the same time as Airbornebandsman (Mik) (I think it may be a convoy). My friend has asked me to bring along the wheeled 15kw generator. I have a couple of distribution boxes and we thought that we could offer up power to anyone camping...

Joey helped me find a carrier that would go to California & pick up to 2 FMTV cabs from Sierra Army Depot. It would have taken me 4 days out and back, wear & tear in my dually and hotel/fuel etc. for about $500 it would have cost me to do it myself, Joey worked with my budget and found a...

BTW, I am a former member of SCANG member and "Swamp Fox" I couldn't overlook the Easley, sc on your heading. When I lived in Clarks Hill, I traveled to your way for kayaking.

If you are buying an FLU419 for commercial purposes or for a business, DON't. If you are buying it for fun, as a collector, to play with on your property or just because, then pay what it is worth to you. The guys transporting mine, moved it in the middle of the night from one trailer to...

How about swapping a CAT C7 ACERT engine with the cab? (ANYONE,ANYONE?) Maybe the money spent on an electrically controlled engine would save pulling wires? Sounds interesting but I have no clue if that would work or be even more complicated... i will ill go with my standard answer when I...

Impressive work. Thanks for working out the kinks before I do the same thing! [thumbzup] The number of LMTV owners in Texas seems to be growing. A friend & I are currently doing S280 build-outs at my shop in Jourdanton, TX. I think collectively we have five different S280 variant boxes that we...

After reading Scott's 50% nightmare, I filed a claim & tried to stop the purchase. Aaron assured me ( IN WRITING) that the two cabs I bought were M1157 as shown in the pictures. HMMMM??? It could be Pandora's "Crates" when the two cabs arrive and I will post the results. I'm not sure if it is...

Positive Comments for United States of Freight I just wanted let the members on the thread that I had great success using United States of Freight to move my M1079 LMTV from Fort Bliss to San Antonio. A uship carrier dropped the ball and cost me a week. Joey Magee did a great job in picking up...

Thanks for the info. I did some I vestigation and phone calls about the cabs. I think I have good info on what I can expect when the two cabs arrive. I do appreciate the helpful comments.

I have two crates with FMTV CABS to move from Herlong, CA to San Antonio, TX. I have a pickup date of Feb 1 but may not be able To make the trip myself. I did the usual bid process and the amounts through the usual channels is prohibitively expensive. Anyone have any ideas for transport or...

It took me about two minutes to do a search on the walmart website to find two or three 235 85R 16 tire and rim combos that are the 8 lug 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern. I refer to Walmart because whether I am on the East Coast West Coast North or South, Walmart is a universal source of emergency items...

I own several M101A2 trailers and have sold two or three. The 16" rim with 8 lug bolt pattern has many advantages over many of the other rims found on older military trailers and even over the M1101 with HMMWV tires and rims. The 16" Rims with 8 lug bolt pattern 6.5" with 235 85R 16 tire are...

I have other vehicles registered in Texas so I'm paving roads in both places. I try not to make this a widely discussed topic to keep some politician from creating a law to prevent me from having a Montana based race team. I already spend enough money on my hobby without adding an additional tax...

My LMTV M 1078 is listed as a truck weighing more than 12,000 lbs not an RV. My 2004 Showhauler Freightliner Class 8 RV is registered as an RV over 10 years of age with permanent tag, never paid tax on the RV despite it being a high value property. Deer Creek sent me these cards with my...

The only vehicle I have ever had in Montana is my RV and that was for vacation travel. The registered agent takes care of every detail and I have NEVER had to bring a vehicle to Montana for an inspection or any reason related to registration or titling. It really couldn't be easier.

A Montana LLC IS WORTH EVERY PENNY spent to establish. With my Montana LLC I never pay sales tax regardless of the state I purchase a truck, RV or race car or the value of the vehicle. My LMTV was easily registered as a truck in Montana and the folks at the registered agent, did all the work...
