    M1081 - Advice on finding good new/used tires?

    If you are in the Midwest to the northwest or near Texas I suggest feltz tire. They're in Wisconsin and Texas they also have an eBay store. Had a very good experience from them. Others here like colony tire I think they're on the east coast

    M1087 Aquired

    Very awesome find! I like that it has the bigger windows because frankly the standard windows on that kind of box or on the older expansible van body such as that I have the windows are too small and too high. Can you take some good pictures of how the box is mounted to the chassis? I'm still...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Nice. Dave Anderson previews my new puck lock holders. The link for them is in the video. They're made out of carbon fiber-filled polycarbonate. I also have carbon fiber-filled PETG.

    There, it's a overlander camper thing... Sort of

    I was thinking about bringing my M1083 down there and then chatting the guy up comparing rigs. Last I saw he just had it tied down with chain tensioners at the corners and mounted backwards. It's going to be pushing the limit on high because it's approximately a 5 ft tall bed. I would...

    There, it's a overlander camper thing... Sort of

    Saw this in Oceanside CA. Been watching it's progress over the last year. As best I can figure this guy bought this Tatra that was for sale, switched the fire truck body for a flatbed, and strapped down this trailer.... Done! Has the 54" Michelin ZXL tires...

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    I don't have any way of accessing such a port if it exists is that the port near the driver's side left knee? Even if it is that port I don't have any device that can connect to it

    I spotted this tatra woodland fire truck sort of converted to an overlander by strapping it trailer onto the bed, in Oceanside California

    I saw this tatra 6x6 woodland fire truck in Oceanside California converted into kind of a camper by just simply strapping a trailer to the back. I'm pretty sure this old listing of a truck for sale is the one that got converted...

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    The 3126 also has about 40 more horsepower if I remember correctly, however on my M1083A1 the ABS light is always on indicating some sort of fault and I haven't had time to troubleshoot it yet. However I have not driven it in the rain or snow yet. Being in the warm South Texas climate I don't...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Then you just take those two and you screw them on the lock and unlock posts at the top edge of the inside door panel. Mine is missing them and just has the thread sticking out
