    Introducing FMTV Truck Sales and Acela Truck Co.-"New" FMTV's and parts have arrived!

    I think you're making many of us, of the least myself, drool over some really nice work that you're doing on this truck platform. I wish you all the success to be had and so glad that you're here!

    2000 mile road trip in an FMTV

    I asked this on Instagram - it was an iPad with Gaia (https://www.gaiagps.com/). Nice app! Congrats on the journey home! Wish we were still there in SD-area to check it out.

    Scott's LMTV build thread.

    I know you probably checked, but thought to ask --- there are no bed sides in the holder-compartment thing in the back? I need the link to the door handles if you don't mind PM'ing me that? Thanks

    How reliable can I expect a "new" 2012 MTV to be? What locking diff options exist?

    The 2012 BAE is probably Rodney's who detailed his intent to build the truck into an RV for him and family on Expedition Portal, but the threads have now been deleted. If it is the same one, the vehicle seems more than road worthy and can be made ready (IMO), with all the work that he had done...

    M1078 Delivery Cost

    With most trucks going to FL right now due to the rise in demand for recovery (hurricanes), my experience is just over $2/mile ($2.20).

    Prototype fiberglass airdrop cab 6x6 truck

    I saw that one today, congrats on the purchase. The photos seem to show no steering column, etc yet in the build-out but it was difficult to tell 100%. I'm excited to hear the rest of the story as you experience it

    LMTV Frame twist

    Quade built the truck up to sell later to fund his expedition truck business. It's a calculated move in my opinion, after speaking with him on his intentions.

    What year FMTV to purchase? A0/A1/A1R?

    Talk to Andreas at Total Composites: http://totalcomposites.com/ for FRP-based panels. He'll send you some specs and work with you on construction if you want to go that way.

    LMTV Frame twist

    Contact Quade who made his own sub-frame and worked with a German engineer to get it right on his M1088: https://www.instagram.com/overlandadventuretruck/. There is a lot of guessing going on right now, and these guys IMO have got it right. But that depends if you are thinking of your truck and...

    Cab to Box pass through

    You can move the spare tire and such sitting behind the cab to reduce the crawl-through tube length, making just a seal possible. It takes a bit of right parts and money. See an example of the space reduction on the GXV site I posted earlier or the video of Two If Overland's actual crawl-through...

    Cab to Box pass through

    You have to be able to disconnect or remove the pass-through to tilt the cab @scottmandu. Take a look at the Global Expedition site. They have pass-throughs in many of theirs where they have a 1078/1088 / Brazos chassis. Like a few of these for example...
