The new A5 FMTV version has a talking version alarm called "Karen".

The ABS truck will not necessarily stop at a shorter distance, BUT it will stop straight typically. In fact, stopping distance may even be longer. All it does is pulse the brakes to stop a lock up at the wheel. Concur with comment about experienced vs inexperienced drivers. There was a very...

It is kind of stunning when you look at a HMMWV compared to even an A0 FMTV.

I do have some good news though. Some people are born with 3 kidneys.

Interesting discussion. There is another thread about why there are so few that Overland in an FMTV at this point. If it dies, it will cost you. Ideas: - Do you have a network of FMTV or military truck owners within 100 miles? There are a lot of good guys out there that might be able to help...

This is exactly what I am saying. You can do it yourself (and save thousands) , BUT you must spend hundreds of hours scanning every tid bit of information in maintenance, let alone doing the work and paying for the tools and parts. This why I outlined the failure points of the 3116.

If you can get ahold of a Meyer-Carpenter 3116 adjustment kit, they are MUCH easier than the CAT version to set up the rack.

Is that a working crane attached to that M1082? (y)

Are you saying you need a tool to pull the injectors on a 3116? Or do need a puller plus the rack adjustment tools? Some people make their own tools to save money.

Diaphragms are inexpensive. I keep them in both sizes. You already know the precautions with brake cans.

There is the current owner of Bethany and Martin's, Broke Overland, M1087fmtv, rollingossuary. A Simple search of Instagram will reveal a bunch.

Some people think you can do an FMTV full-time drinking "craft beers" and selling "Merch" :ROFLMAO: "Merch", I absolutely hate that word. "Buy my Merch!" "We've got Merch!" Why should I feel sense of obligation to buy your self-egotization stuff?

When you look at Overlanding vehicle builder it really is a special person. They likely have a unique skill set and adequate money. If they have low levels of either, the build take a very long time and that truck will likely be the next Craigslist listing. There can be cross winds slowing your...

They are selling their truck to buy a house.

Yes, Martin and Bethany. I have followed them since the beginning. They bought theirs from GXV and do not appear to be mechanically oriented. What I have found is that people who are young eventually want a home later, or again. Makes sense. I think there is more to it though. It took a while...

Go to instagram.

I looked through the TM. Think I will use the Phillips 66 Aircraft hydraulic fluid.

Did you use anything special for the from mounting bolts. They look like 1/2" or slightly larger maybe? Love the mag drill!
