    Things I am really glad I did to LMTV

    Happy 2022 to you as well. I am currently experimenting with Monroes: Implementing these requires using a bushing + smaller diameter bolt on the bottom side. I do not think there is enough meat on the shock eye itself to hog it out to use stock mounting hardware. The claim on the interweb is...

    Things I am really glad I did to LMTV

    Good morning, I do not have a write up, but I will create a short video of that. Just off the top of my head: Rears were easy as there is no interference with the hard mudflaps attached to the bed as it is removed. The rear rubber mudflaps are relocated to behind the under-rider using the...

    Things I am really glad I did to LMTV

    Good morning, The seats are JEGS GS-1, not very expensive. See I have read that Toyota Sienna seats are an easy retrofit, but best to check the fora (forums?). I prefer to comment only on stuff that I have actually done. I should say the action of the rear leaf has been removed as I did not...

    Things I am really glad I did to LMTV

    As I drove around town today, getting a new Director's Certificate from the ADOT smog station, I reflected on all the mods I have made to the truck. Some stuff we do makes no difference, some stuff makes things worse, but here is a list of mods that I am really, really glad I did: Upgrade the...

    modified LMTV is coming along well

    Not an RV, rather, a Commercial Vehicle. You see, in AZ anything one-ton payload and up is commercial. No matter that it has only 2 axles. You get to choose what the vehicle GVW is, with 8000 lbs being the minimum. The weight fee portion of the registration is based off that.. When the inspector...

    Got driveshafts balanced yet? Otherwise, it's like a grenade ready to go off at any time.

    This site has evolved for the better over the years: there is much more tolerance for innovation, re-purposing, and modernizing. I once was told here that , by deviating from stock factory as-issued condition I was being disrespectful to the memory of servicmen. Ouch. I do not miss those days.

    Cab bushings...drill + holesaw...viola! Should be OK through temperature extremes, because, well, they are all-season radials ;) Cut out several, stack 'em how you like.

    arizona m1078

    My registration in AZ is coming due. Anything 1-ton and up is considered commercial. One can specify the GVW, however, with 8000 lbs being the minimum. Tucson municipality has a parking ordinance that over 18,000 lbs can only be parked along designated truck routes. Since my truck was put on a...
