    Van Internal Dimensions

    I've updated the box model I made, adding the framework that is attached to the front. If someone knows the stud sizes and spacing I would love that info as well.

    Solar for habitat on an FMTV

    There's a reasonable sized group who have been running Tesla batteries for several years without any of those issues. If they were that unreliable Tesla, and other similar vehicles, would be replacing batteries on a regular basis. If the system is set up correctly it should last for years in an...

    Solar for habitat on an FMTV

    Still wrapping up the cab portion. Going to a bigger pass-through But backup generator is where it was planned to go. There's a lot of action on Morton's tech page in the response section.

    FMTV Air Hydraulic Unit Repair

    I believe the mechanical "stop" is right behind the knob which doesn't require valve disassembly. If you look at items 12 & 15, there's a small locating pin. It's been a while since I tore mine apart, but iirc all you need to do is remove the screw in the center of the knob. If one of those...

    FMTV Air Hydraulic Unit Repair

    That sounds like something mechanical is broken or missing. Regardless of O-Rings there is a mechanical stop internally that prevents 360 degree rotation.

    I have joined the club ! And yes I have lost my mine !

    Treasure the time you have with her. Ask as many family history questions you've always wondered about. That time will pass quicker than you want. I was caregiver for my dad for 3 yrs. No regrets other than the stress wore my patience thin at times, I didn't realize how little time with him I...

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    While there is mention of Expedition vehicle builders, there is scant mention in this thread of the private owners who in many cases have invested thousands into their former LMTV/FMTV rigs. These individual owners who purchased a truck when it was perfectly legal to do so with the intent of on...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    They are Freightliner Cascadia power and heated mirrors. They are running close to $300 on the Bay. When I bought mine they were almost $400. I sell a full installation kit for them now; mount plates, wiring harness and a 10min timed switch for the heated mirrors. PM me if you need more info.
