    Securing your MTVR? anyone installing locks? ignition keys?

    If you search online for TriMark 030-1400 or 030-1450, they look extremely similar. https://www.trimarkcorp.com/mobile/zPlatform.asp?platformid=146 if you go to the product page there's the technical specifications with the cutout size and the linkage points etc. I'm pretty sure this one will...

    Securing your MTVR? anyone installing locks? ignition keys?

    I'm pretty sure the inside latch is a TriMark and the outside latch probably is too.

    Securing your MTVR? anyone installing locks? ignition keys?

    I've contacted the account manager of a commercial supplier of automotive door handles with photos of the handle to see if they can figure it out. If so they should be about half the price that the guy on eBay was selling them for. They helped me with handles for my M1083. I'll let you know...

    MTVR towing capacities

    Might be a good idea to make good measurements of those doors at least good enough that somebody can fab up something that'll work good enough. Then people can use those plans to make new doors or have them made by somebody. Perhaps some industrious fabricator can start making those doors on...

    Military Vehicle Camper Insurance

    Wow that sucks, I also have State farm and I've let them know from the very beginning what the plan was and they said they were good with that. Sure hope that doesn't happen to me as well when mine is turned into an RV.

    What comes around goes around - new upgrades for the TH400

    My first car was a 1974 Pontiac Catalina with a 400 four barrel and a turbo hydramatic 400 transmission with a shift kit! Man that thing could scoot! There are so many other people that were so surprised how fast that thing was and how quick it shifted! Your post just reminded me of it!

    Tire options and where to buy

    Call them tomorrow and see what's their inventory of what you need. If they don't have it in stock in Wisconsin they may have it in their main Texas warehouse which they truck up to Wisconsin periodically https://feltztire.com/shop/?product-page=2

    Tire options and where to buy

    I bought my truck from Wisconsin it had five Goodyears, one Michelin and no spare. I purchased two new Goodyears and an extra wheel with CTIS hardware from Feltz tire located in Wisconsin and Texas. The level of service and communication I got from them was excellent and so was the price I...

    Saw This on a Diesel Heater Forum

    Exactly with a propane heater such as a Mr Buddy you add condensation to the interior, and you are breathing the exhaust so you have to keep you space ventilated. With a diesel heater such as the Chinese diesel heaters or the hunter diesel heater, The air that goes into and out of the...

    Alternate Side mirrors for more narrow stance

    I see what you mean however you would want those to be power so you can actually adjust them and also if you're going through a more tight curve they could catch on the outside.

    Tire/Wheel Covers.

    That's a good idea! I also contacted a couple of American based tire cover manufacturers yesterday, and told them of the need of the military vehicle community for tire covers big enough to fit the tires they have. Hopefully at least one of them will respond with an interest in making those.

    Saw This on a Diesel Heater Forum

    Thanks for the input! I think for the heat output, one heater will be fine. The expansible van body has about 238 sqft of floor space once expanded vs about 90 for an M1079. I was thinking of putting in a fake fireplace heater from rec pro as well (rp-2164) and could use that for much more...
