  1. Reworked LMTV

    A warning to those doing the A/C conversion

    Yes, did some research on thread locker. I saw that. I wonder about residual oils, etc. I am purchasing some oil stable blue this time.

    Big rig (LMTV, etc) overlanding in the Southeast - where?

    As a rule, solar panel glass is pretty tough, as it is support by the cells. I have banged mine pretty good with stuff without an issue.

    A warning to those doing the A/C conversion

    For bolts that hold the pulleys and damper on, only use a very light torque. Maybe 20ish ft lbs. I'm actually still looking for the exact figure. I had to Helicoil them. Also avoid JB Weld blue thread locker. It never seems to cure. Otherwise, JB Weld I found is generally awesome stuff.

    Stay off the heat when you weld. I welded and it bowed in. TIG if you can. Bondo if you must.

    What have you done WITH your FMTV ( trips, Rescues etc) NOT: fixes, updates etc

    The best thing you can do is share more picts and make us on this side of the ocean jealous !

    First one that I have seen with a/c on top. Looks great!! Did you build the box yourself?

    Think that radiator is aluminum? Think again

    Today I used a radiator cleaner to clean it. As I cleaned it it become apparent that what I thought was aluminum, was copper/brass. Why this design? It lasts A LOT longer than aluminum.

    LMTV's show me your WINCH

    Hmmm I saw that too. Wondered if it was OEM or sign of the times.

    Love the GT 40! What engine did you go with?

    Transmission rebuild

    I hope it rather obvious, just how complex this is. He has rebuilt a lot of these, so it looks easy. The problem is, if you do one thing wrong, it will not shift right, and the whole thing has to come back out.

    I think the paint job is presentable. There are some tricks you can find on the internet for improving rattle can pain jobs, but you probably already know this : ) Curious, with all the "unrest" out there, did this encourage you to paint the vehicle another color?

    Transmission rebuild

    Interesting. Doubt you did, but did you document the build? Would be nice to share, if you did.

    Just curious which Alison you rebuilt and what was worn. What was you cost for parts?

    Ah, that's grounds for more testing! lol

    How to add a liter of displacement to your CAT for about $170

    In the past, blankets were used to keep hoods from blistering paint and of course, heat soak reduction of other components. I don't think performance was a primary consideration initially.

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