Page 25 of the S280 TM shows the lifting cables and the single lift point. Depending how tall your shop ceiling is, an overhead lift would be the easiest. I have a 5 ton hand crane in the shop which allows me to lift them up , drive out and lower whenever I need.

Work in progress. 1. I used standard lift cables with adjustable turnbuckles to attach the box since the kits I bought were actually for dollies not the LMTV. 2. I plan to transfer my ACS Box from the LMTV trailer to my bolster trailer. Lower height and easier to pull with other trucks.

Powered by the Beast with S280. Lots more to do but aren't all projects like this a work in progress.

ACS SHOP box that is being modified as a camper.

Take a close look at this last drawing . I used rectangular tubing and then plan to cut apart some armored louvered panels that I have from an MRAP to build a louvered attachment above the brush guard. I like the way the rectangular tubing looks along the windscreen and I even plan to put a...

I bolted two HET fixed tow bars to the front tow hooks on my LMTV with #9 grade bolts then welded them into place. I am going to hang the brushguard on the tow bar and make it removable so that when i am not in a situation where I need my giant brush guard I can swing it out of the way. I...

Built and Planned Brush Guards These are pictures from an LMTV that was for sale in Austin, TX. I started working on a drawing using rectangular tubing because I liked the symmetry of the 3x1 tubing for the vehicle.

$200 for a Self Sealing MRAP Fuel tank. I still have 2

We are tackling that issue this week. If you are interested we may very well be puling the stock tank, I will let you know. The extra fuel is really sweet for our off road onto the beach adventures. Padre island is 45 miles long out the 45 miles back. No way to refuel so either arrive with fuel...

The MRAP tanks are 19" deep but they can be placed in the hangers by moving the tank slightly forward. We are thinking about taking the 1078 tank out and adding the thrid tank from MRAP in it's place.

I bought 6 of the MRAP tanks at auction and I mounted two of the tanks in the bed. It adds 150+- gals of diesel. I built some support frames and will eventually strap the tanks to the supports but for now they are just cargo straps and the the whole thing is strapped to the bed. Sealed off the...

I can't say enough about the recovery, Thanks Michael for the referral. I plan to post a separate thread about my thoughts on this topic.

Wow Justin, I just finished reading the thread and the work you have done on the truck is incredible. I haven't picked mine up yet and I wrote down some of the mods realizing I will never get my wife in the truck without a few creature comforts. I will be at MSR Houston on the weekend of...

Carnac, the plan is to recover the vehicle on the 21st of September. I have an experienced NCO that will take a look at the vehicle , fill the fuids and make sure it is ready to hit the road. I work until the 21st but I plan to learn as much about the vehicle enroute to SA as I can. Thanks...

What a difference 24 hours makes and a huge Thanks to the members on this forum that have helped point me in the correct direction. I called Ft Bliss directly and got a GL rep on phone. The GL rep put me in touch with the DLA person at Fort Bliss. She was kind enough to give me contact jnfo for...
