    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I've been designing and building over the windshield shelf pockets on both sides that will have a double DIN stereo in between. Each side has two openings and one opening is big enough and deep enough for a 15-16 inch laptop. They are lighted with red LED neon rope lights.

    Contact Dave Anderson at RV Globe Trekker they're not cheap but those boxes are very nice and you can get a zero torsion subframe to mount it on! Unless you can find a nice s280 shelter to mount in the back and go the Sean Filner route. https://www.rvglobetrekker.com/...
