    LMTV: winch on the deck

    Sounds like an awesome idea.

    Door Handle Failure

    I got sick of the stupid rickety Volvo door handles held on by two little screws, so I replaced mine with much nicer paddle handles that fit from the back with a trim plate on the front and six screws. Especially since one of mine broke off! But those are nice looking repair pieces!

    Removing CARC paint from tire

    One of the Goodyear tires I bought for my fmtv has crusty over spray on both sides that looks like it was near a vehicle that was being painted with CARC. Now it's covered with a crusty coating of it on both sides. Or at least that's what it looks like. What would be a good way to clean that...

    Looking to purchase a 1996 1083 and drive it 120 miles home. What could possibly go wrong?

    Everywhere I've seen charges $2,000 each at least.

    Nope

    From what I remember it can be driven from either cab!

    Looking to purchase a 1996 1083 and drive it 120 miles home. What could possibly go wrong?

    Ditto on my truck as well with 2008 tires. I was just driving down the street at 30 miles an hour a few miles from my home and my left steering tire blew! I've had great success and great service from Feltz Tire. Bought tires from them twice now. Last time I bought two tires shipped from...

    Nope

    Now somebody needs to make a double ender mtvr / fmtv! That would be hilarious, and stupid!

    Nope

    Last year I watched a sort of a documentary about this vehicle I think. It was interesting. Never need to back up!

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Chairs in one slot and tables in another!

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    And the chair would become one with the truck! Kind of like how a viper fish male mates with the female. He bites into the side of her because he's like on 20th of her size, then he becomes absorbed and just becomes a little gonad lump on her side!

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    So close and yet so far! Very close to fitting camping chairs in there! Now the mission is to find a slightly thinner camping chair that's between 18 and a half and 19 and a half inches wide or design my own damn chair made out of square tube!

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Every time I drove my truck it kind of had a rhythmic shake and I suspected it was the driver side front tire because the passenger side front tire had recently blown and I had replaced it. I replaced it with one of the two new (2019 but never installed) tires I had bought from Feltz tire in...

    So. Cal LMTV 4x4 Mechanic Wanted

    I have a friend who works in Aliso Viejo who was a diesel truck mechanic for the Marine corps. He's now a CNC operator I'll ask him if he's available to help but he's generally pretty busy with his kids.

    Replacing the tires

    Last time I changed the tire, the front half of the rim came off easy. For the back half of the rim I hung the wheel by the chain of the tire hoist, with some tire snot some beating and some time it slid off by itself after a while.

    LMTV Question

    It occurs to me is it a trailer already has everything you need to have a torsion free frame! The trailer hitch and the suspension for the tires. You can make a mount for the trailer hitch, much more secure than just the regular ball, Mount that whole section hard to the frame of the truck...

    FMTV Cab Cot

    I've been thinking of something similar lately but a fixed centerpiece and two side pieces that are lids for containers underneath. The Steyr trucks in Europe have an option of a bunk there also

    GARAGE DOOR CLEARANCE

    That garage looks to be the footprint of my entire property line! My truck just barely fits on my driveway

    GARAGE DOOR CLEARANCE

    Those branches needed trimming anyway!
