    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Have been working on upfitting my wildland rig for comfort and convenience. Working on a center console, built an interior and overhead console, carpeted it, and fabbed up a cab air ride system with more travel and some adjustability.

    Removing torque rods and v-bar

    I believe that I’m qualified to answer the question. I ended up using a 1” impact and 1” breaker bar to undo the nuts, a porta power to push/pull where neededand a 3 or 4 lb sledge, hitting the side of the housing with pressure applied while applying heat. There is no way around getting the...

    MK48 wheels

    Thread revival warning… what do you think about plugging the OEM valve stem hole and re-drill/machine something for a 24 bolt HMMWV wheel valve stem on the outside of the face of a HEMTT wheel? 🤷‍♂️

    New Arduino-based FMTV CTIS controller ROCKS!

    one axle weighs in at 11k, the other 2 are at 16k, it would have been nice to have the rear inflate higher than the front Ok, thank you

    What are the manufacturers GAWR?

    At a certified CAT scale. The configuration of my truck is significantly different than it came from SnS so the current weight is somewhat irrelevant, just wondering what the axle itself is rated for

    What are the manufacturers GAWR?

    Specifically the front axle? I have a M1088 and the GAWR is 11,328, only 400# above the unloaded weight. I know all of the various models specify a different GAWR on the passenger door data plate and I’d imagine it would be at, or above the 13,416# that I have found on an early M-1089. Does...

    Just picked up my first m1078! Air Compressor broke on way home!

    It may be a good thing to put a little loctite on the tapered shaft before reinstalling the gear if they’ve come loose as well

    Supply's for a FMTV tire change ?

    depending on the condition of the 20 studs holding the wheel together, it may pay to chase the threads, 5/8-16 I believe. I used an XB-550 bead breaker and soapy water, although I don't think the bead breaker is necessary as there is technically no bead to break, it just makes it easier to...

    Just picked up my first m1078! Air Compressor broke on way home!

    thread resurrection: I assume that it would be good for preventative maintenance to change out the nut with a nyloc? Do you know what thread size/pitch it would be?

    Who's running dynamic tire balancing beads?

    Do you remember how many ounces you put in per tire? I've been looking into this and from various balancing media companies for the 395/85, is 16-24 oz
