    LMTV Frame twist

    When I mounted my habitat (20ft long shipping container) I built the interface to be able to use springs or not. First I tried without springs and when twisting up on a ramp there was way too much stress and it started to bend the bottom of the container. I then install the springs and now they...

    Question about hub bolt?

    Probably won't find a torque spec for this particular as the manuals aren't available unless a Marine wants to chime in. It's likely a class 10.9 socket head cap screw, and if you can determine the thread diameter and pitch it's easy to find an approximate torque spec. Screws often have the...

    I find the lock cylinder kind of a pain, but my kids are better at it than I.

    Question about hub bolt?

    Almost looks like they may have friction welded together a little bit.

    Bricked ?

    Chain through steering wheel, keyed door locks, hidden cutoff are also good options.

    Bricked ?

    Self fusing tape tends to not be that tough, with constant pressure it will creep and allow contact (at least the versions I've used).

    From fire truck to MTV

    This is what I am referring to, but haven't looked into the details too much. I tried another GFCI on the pedestal with same results. Sometimes charges for and hour, of sometimes trips in a couple minutes.

    From fire truck to MTV

    Currently out at a frozen lake about 2 hours from home. Absolutely gorgeous and having a wonderful time with the family. Tried using shore power but their GFCI keeps tripping, I think it's because of the various inductive loads from the autotransformer and inverter. There are different GFCI trip...

    How to secure or lift the second axle when both wheels are removed

    If you are taking the wheels off, how do you plan on getting them in the bed? From what I've heard, yards can be very different, some allow you to work on the truck and some want you out of there immediately.

    From fire truck to MTV

    Reworked the chassis and cab grounds, that one to the cab was atrocious - paint and the toothed washed wasn't even compressed against the two surfaces. Used a flap wheel and carbon conductive grease for the various connections. Christmas is coming so threw on some lights. Also put some on the...

    Tow eye dimensions

    Well looks like the fmtv mount won't fit without a little grinding. 0.02" too narrow. Edit: saw the dimension correction above. Looks like it will fit for moving around slow, but not enough room to put in a sleeve. MTVR on the left, FMTV adapter on right Connected: E
