    How to make drivers seat more comfortable

    If you can find a Bostrom LTSS low profile air ride seats those do fit I've seen an fmtv fitted with those. A popular option is seats from the Chrysler Pacifica which are commonly used as handicap vehicles and commonly have seats for sale. Midwest military equipment sells adapter seat brackets...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I was thinking a good way to mount something like a travel trailer without its Wheels as the habitat on the back of the frame, would be to hard mount the hitch area to the forward most section of the truck frame, and bolt the axles or the leaf springs, whatever the trailer has for suspension to...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I bought this fire pit cover to try out as a tire cover and it seems to fit great! It's silvered on the inside, black on the outside, has a drawstring, and comes with a little zipping storage bag that's about 10 inches square and 1/4 of an inch thick at most when packed. Material is some sort of...

    Show me your auxiliary fuse panel

    I have one mounted just above the ctis manifold thing near the passenger's feet mounted to the bottom surface of the electrical box dashboard part. That's for my 24 volt supply for certain accessories that I added. I have another one inside screwed down to the floor of that box for the 12 volt...

    Blown tire need pneumatic bottle jack suggestion

    Will those fit on the FMTV hubs? Do they need modification for the CTIS stud? Is there a backspacing difference? Thanks for the info man.

    Blown tire need pneumatic bottle jack suggestion

    This is the jack that I have but hopefully the other Jack is a little bit taller from the beginning so that it doesn't need a repositioning in the middle of the procedure Here is my current tire configuration and I think what I'll do is move the newest tires to the front the second newest to...

    Blown tire need pneumatic bottle jack suggestion

    All the rest of my tires are from mid 2015 and mid 2017. I'll have to check tomorrow and lower that blown tire to see what date it was.

    Blown tire need pneumatic bottle jack suggestion

    These tires are fairly new no signs of cracking and the rubber is still nice and pliable. There might have been something in the road that I hit I don't know. Driving on it flat a quarter of a mile until I reached an area that I could actually change it finished it off that's for sure. By the...

    Well today started awesome with working in the truck from the beach: And ended with getting a blowout about a mile from home and having to pull into some parking lot to fix it! I just went around a corner at a slow speed and then I heard this hissing and slapping sound and I thought the hose...

    Expedition engine?

    I don't consider myself an expert on the three engines, but I can say if you're going to have a light habitat there's no point in having a 6x6 m1083. Having three axles gives you a 55 mph highway speed limit (in some areas anyway) and you're over the 26k license weight limit, as well as a...

    M1088 camper conversion

    There's always the option of the added length being tapered back. You could go on a big dirt area somewhere and drive in the tightest circle that it will drive in and measure it if you're unsure of your turning circle. Make a note of how far the outer edge of the circle is from your rearmost...

    I'd Rock That Cab

    I see your m35a3 and I raise you with whatever the heck this thing is! It looks like you told one of those AI art programs to make a military truck that looks like Sid the sloth!
