    FMTV High Speed Gears

    I got mine from Bryce. He delivered them in Colorado and installed them for a very reasonable price. He is coming back here in a couple of weeks as he has Detroit-style lockers and will install those as well. 772828 6829 Bryce Wasielak or Facebook.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Yup, Bryce is awesome. A rolling rock gathers no moss. This guy drives more in one week than I do all year. And he knows his stuff.

    Noisy axles at LMTV

    After switching to the high speed gears, I tried to re-fill the planetary gears. It worked on 5 out of 6 hubs and on the last one (its always the last one #$%^&), the hex just stripped. Looks like I am going to have to drill it out. So in preparation, I went to the local truck supply...

    M1078 frame flex question/compared to Unimog frame flex

    Thank you for the excellent suggestion. If it works and fits, I will post the CAD file for all to use for free. That way, anyone can get one built locally.

    M1078 frame flex question/compared to Unimog frame flex

    Thank you for your response! After having spent years in conflict zones and working in para-military organizations most of my life, I do not seek out conflict, especially not in my private life. On the other hand, I certainly don't want others to have the same experience and get ripped off...

    M1078 frame flex question/compared to Unimog frame flex

    My experience with Eastern Surplus Thank you for your response. I wish I would have seen the thread about Eastern Surplus sooner. As a certified vendor, they had instant credibility with me. I realize that running a web site takes time and money. However, I would much rather see...

    M1078 frame flex question/compared to Unimog frame flex

    Fish Plate Kit from Eastern Surplus This post is in response to post # 6 made by user 'country'. I have met many helpful and kind individuals on this forum. Without the help and advice of some of the members of this community, I would have never gotten this far with my FMTV project...

    newbie question, FMTV wheel bolt pattern

    No worries, I don't know the correct terms, either. Short version: Front and rear are the same I believe. Middle is very different as it transfers power through the third member to the rear axle. front and back gears are around 300 - 350 lbs. middle gear is around 450 lbs. I believe that...

    newbie question, FMTV wheel bolt pattern

    Ah, confession time.... If it wasn't for Bryce, I would have never been able to do this. Without the TM, I couldn't even name most of the parts he took out. The middle gear is probably 30% bigger and heavier than front and back. Remove axles, drive shafts on both ends, use a forklift to...

    Lug Nuts for FMTV Aluminum Rims A big thank you to Justin Wehring for solving this mystery and saving me from taking a long time out at the funny farm. The studs remain the same, the nuts (lug nuts, not me), change. New lug nuts are: Outer Cap Nut Euclid E5995R (Right thread) Outer Cap...

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    Still working on finding the right idler pulley. Bought one on E-bay and the bearing is screwed up on it. I will buy a local pulley wheel locally today and see if I can mount it. Sick and tired of waiting. Several people have mentioned that the idler pulley is just a generic part...

    newbie question, FMTV wheel bolt pattern

    Hello! I just had the 6.14 gears installed and was about to mount new tires on aluminum rims. The FMTV lug bolts are about one inch too short. I believe they are 3/4" 16 3.5" long. Does anyone know where I can find longer lug bolts that would fit my M108? Thanks in advance and best wishes to...
