    Military Vehicle Camper Insurance

    What state are you in? I’m in Florida, I’ve had my LMTV insured with State Farm for 7 years as a truck, just finished the build and had the title change to RV. This morning State Farm says their underwriter said they cannot insure it and will be dropping me. many help would be appreciated.

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

    Well I finally made it…..well almost 98% complete on the M1078 conversion to a M1079 Overland vehicle. My wife and I both just retired and took the kids to a North Carolina vacation before their college starts back in a week. Then a few finishing touches on the truck. Then a week on a cruise...

    Freezing Parking Brake

    What I’ve started doing is if there is any chance of wet brakes when parking I do NOT set the parking brake and just use wheel chocks.

    New to me M1078A1 - Flew into Houston yesterday - What have I done

    I purchased my truck in 2015 with only 4,500 miles on it. It now has a little over 10,000 miles on it so I’m praying that if problems haven’t shown up so far that I was lucky to get a good motor. I already replaced the transmission years ago. 🤞🏻

    So I have a 2003 M1078A1 and here is my engine sticker. Am I correct that this is a 1999 June engine?

    So I just finished connecting them to 24 Vdc and oh yeah baby!!!! They are more than twice as fast almost 3 times faster. I’m guessing because they over came the load allowing it to move faster. 2 seconds up and 2 seconds down.

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    So here’s a question my power windows stop working months ago. Yes the cheap ones from Amazon….I’ve tried looking for a higher quality product but have come to the realization that I might just have to replace them every couple of years they’re cheap enough. But the question is I think I’m going...

    Nice, where there is a will there is a way. We all have to get creative if we are going to maintain these vehicles.

    True, Finished them this morning and got everything back installed and working. That little thing was a pain in the but to make, I made the weak point thicker so that will never happen again.

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    So a couple days ago I go to open the passenger door and “SNAP” the door handle breaks. This same thing happened to me in the driver side 6 years ago right after I got it home. Back then there were no options so I replicated the broken piece, so I find myself doing it again. To add insult to...

    Cab airbag upgrade

    I design them so there are no corner welds and all the joints overlap. Here’s a quick sketch on the design. It prevents stress in the welds as much as possible. Also the main body are two identical pieces which simplifies fabrication.

    Thanks geo but I’m just finishing the new generator installation. I made it able to swing out for servicing. Freshly fabricated and leak tested 50 gallon gasoline tank. Finale resting place for the tank. The gas cap is getting painted, that’s why it’s not on there. I even put a spark...
