    Do MTVR have open diffs or lockers????

    They have selectable lockers in all three diffs, as well as a selectable locker in the torque-proportioning AWD transfer case. The lockers are controlled by the CTIS system, and have indicators in the instrument panel showing the status of the lockers. There is also an over-ride switch that...

    Our MTVR camper:

    Removed the tailgate, all four bed side panels, 8 ISO locks, 8 heavy-duty tie-downs inside the bed, 14 heavy-duty tie-downs outside the bed, and the two amber reflectors on the sides of the front corners of the bed. Picked up an 11-amp 7" angle-grinder and some cut-off discs. We plan to cut...

    Our MTVR camper:

    My $7.50 10-pack of 623 bulbs showed up today. Replaced a lone burned-out 623 in the left front running light in the bumper, so now every single exterior light on the truck works. Went around and checked the other three housings, and replaced two random 303 bulbs with the correct 623 bulbs...

    Is it safer to wear seatbelts, or not?

    If you have to go back almost 70 years to cherry-pick a singular crash that supports your argument, then I'm not buying what you're selling...

    M1079 Internal Dimension

    The 2-1/2 ton M1079 is not related in any way to the 7-ton MTVR- you'll be more likely to find help with your question if you post it in the FMTV section...

    Is it safer to wear seatbelts, or not?

    I don't think a lot of lay people understand the magnitude of the forces involved- I have seen fatals where the vehicle occupants were all ejected right out of their fully-laced shoes and out through the windshield- the shoes were still on the floor, and the bodies were all in the street...

    Frame attachment vs. knuckle

    Not sure if I understand all of your post, but the bed itself appears to be pretty rigid, and attaches to the frame rails with flexible mounts consisting of springs and rubber around the mounting bolts. And there is about a two-foot gap between the bed and the cab, with a frame-mounted platform...

    Does CARC fade?

    That was an epic bucket-list trip, but it was only one of two. When I was ready to order my Porsche convertible, we originally planned to do a European Delivery at Stuttgart, where it was to be built, and we started planning another epic bucket-list European trip. Unfortunately, Porsche...

    What gadgets are you guys going to put in the cab?

    I'm planning to plug my cell phone charger into the 12-volt outlet in the dash, does that count?

    Securing your MTVR? anyone installing locks? ignition keys?

    Okay, aluminum Velvac key-locking non-vented fuel cap, with key hole cover to keep rain water out. $21 including shipping. ...and fortunately, there was no corrosion from the brass Sloan key-locking non-vented fuel cap, which has now joined the "spare parts" pile, unless somebody else wants it...
