So i guess I am a little confused, the payload weight gets factored into that then?

So I recently purchaed a M1078 and have been looking at all my options for titling and registering in california. Using some searches and reading through the DMV links to get an idea. I read through the exempt vehicles and found this page (link attached) and it says the following Pick-up...

I would love to see some pics of this set up if you can share some please

Where did you stash the car battery? Mounted on th4 truck or just hand carried?

After seeing the price on that winch, I am beginning to like your idea even better......Didn't think about running a new 12-volt line to a new box. Gonna be busy moving over the next few days, I will reach out for plugs once I get a chance to breath.

Nothing, but short of converting all the NATO plugs to 12 volts, I really like the simplicity of getting power through them like the LMHC the military uses does.

Looking to put together a LMHC for my M1078 since finding a military one is near impossible. I am looking to find a source for small (2-3 thousand lb) 24-volt winches here in the US, but everything I find is 12 volts. Anyone have a source for a 24 volt that small?

Reviving this thread to ask a question......do you just walk into DMV with paperwork and say it's an RV? Do they require you to get it inspected? How do you prove its an rv?

Or find two old lights and take the backs off, gut the lights and use them that way

My trailer is not here for me to run out and look, but I believe you need to use the full light as it uses the 2 bolt attachment in the back of the light that would fit flush with the back of the bucket. Physically they will fit in the bucket, but you would have to drill new holes in the bucket...

I bought a service truck from a friend who thought it was military. I went and looked at it. Color was right, it was a Chevy (1993) dually 4wd, but had "contractor operated" on the sides of each door. It wasn't 24 volt but did have two batteries. A little digging through the glove back and we...

Thats is a good starter...does the generator still work?

Awesome....I saw your PM and will take care of that

Welcome...you will find the CUCV gurus here will keep you running like a top once you iron out any existing bugs LOL. Post some photos over in the CUCV section....we love pics of others trucks!!

Just checked the website, it appears he does, but I read his shipping and it doesn't say anything about shipping outside of Germany let alone across the pond to the states.

If the crack isn't bad, use some body filler. Sand it out and paint the whole dash.....Might save on a new one later

As I continue my search for that very strap, I was able to take a couple of Harbor Freight cam straps to make a giant loop. Extended it out to approximately the right dimensions and then throw my cover on. A few more minor adjustments and then wrapped the excess strap around the center hoop to...

Wow...that all looks awesome

I installed a Curt Spectrum Brake Control. All of the wiring is hidden under the dash and I mounted this knob on the plastic radio plate.

I will toss in my M1028 now that I have the cargo cover and troop seats onboard.
