    LMTV - Sound Proofing & Insulation Mods (Post Your Proofing)

    You'll never get a definitive answer since it's subject to how much money, or more importantly, how much effort YOU want to put into it. You could do half as much as what's shown above and see measurable results. Or you could do 10 times as much. Just understand the returns are diminishing...

    Two Piece Wheel Flange Nuts, Change?

    Tifco.com has them for about $3/ea. You'll need to sign up to get a price. Double check the thread, they're 3/4-16, right? I can't remember for sure. You can order some of those green indicators from there too - those are fun!

    MAINE "Offroad" registration law change

    I'm in Colorado. I sympathize. Our roads here are ranked as some of the worst in the country, yet, they're making fruitless laws that cut back vehicle registrations. BRILLIANT!

    ‘Other’ air conditioning options…

    The OP asked for alternatives, I posted one that's readily available and half the price. The Red Dot R-6101 is advertised as an on-highway unit for trucks. Though, I can't find any documentation to back that up... Anyone who has spent time on forums has seen something, somewhere that's posted...

    ‘Other’ air conditioning options…

    I think you could install a rooftop unit with a compressor for $1600 - $1800. http://firewall.reddotcorp.com/pdf/R-6101%20RD-5-15506-0P%20Product%20Sheet%20v3%20WEB%20ONLY.pdf

    LMTV Wedge Brake Chamber Lube

    I laughed at, "boy it's hard to work with a camera" and, "wow, this is hard to do with 1 hand" :p Kudos to you sir, thank you for taking your time to film and post! One of my go-to for parts is, finditparts.com. They do list the same replacement parts kit (PN MPS4012) as shown in the TM but...

    Moving my Transmission cooler

    So, where is the sample port sourcing from? I wonder if your main hose (#20 below) was put on backwards such that the port was back by the aux cooler, I think the sample port hose would be long enough. I wonder if you'd have a much easier time just getting some adapters to go with a regular...

    Moving my Transmission cooler

    Where is your sampling port pickup? Mine was up front, on the end that goes to the front cooler. In other words, the sampling port hose shouldn't have changed. I think if you want to utilize the sample port, you'll have to get 22ft of oil out before you reach the stuff that's actually...

    Moving my Transmission cooler

    I think you might have a hard(er) time finding stock-ish replacements because the hose is oversize to the fittings. And considering you moved your cooler even farther away, you probably want the oversized lines. Call hoseandfittings.com, they are so awesome, one of my favorite suppliers. The...

    Stupid Question about Highway Gears??

    Against my better judgement, I guess I'll be the unpopular one. I don't know how to say this without looking like a complete jerk so I'll start by saying, I try and I think I'm a generous and good person :D However, this is a capitalist market and if I can make a widget for $10 and sell it for...

    Moving my Transmission cooler

    I JUST looked into all of this recently to replace my hoses. I haven't installed new hoses so I can't say the following with any authority but in the next couple weeks I'd hope to tell you exactly what to order - or at least what not to order. Stock hoses (on my truck) are MIL 13444. Temp...

    Looking for FMTV CTIS Wheel Protectors

    Have you seen the midwest military equip ones yet? They're not an exact match but the only thing that's readily available at the moment. I could get onboard with those!

    M1078....flasher

    There should be a black box under the PDP (fuse box) on the passenger side.

    Anyone ever use Duplicolor vinyl paint?

    If you needed justification to add air conditioning in the shop, sounds like it's knocking at the door....

    Gap at door

    You could try moving the door catch, attached to the door jam, towards the inside of the cab so the door shuts a little tighter. There's about 1/8" of adjustment in every direction of that part. Since you're hesitant to make adjustments to the door hinges, the catch adjustment would be easy...

    Which orientation is correct?

    Both of mine were down but TM shows up. Seems far fetched but if anything, Up would keep any potential water that got between the door and the cab from making it's way into the cab.

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    Alright, I'll play because you've piqued my interest. Full disclosure, I have zero Mog experience except that I've seen/read about them and completely agree they are awesome. What is simpler on a Mog, and I will preface with 'A0', LMTV? I have years of wrenching, wheeling, racing, so much that...

    M1081 Dash Light Doesn't Work

    Each device has it's own LED so if none of them are working, it's likely a main power/ground disconnect. 12v power comes from the light switch, through the dimmer and then jumpers from 1 led to the next through a couple dozen LEDs all wired in parallel, wire 1908 (+12v). Same is true for...
