    Aluminum wheels

    Just spoke to him and he will sell one. He's looking in to the pricing now, they literally just came in so he doesn't know how much they're in them. No luck on the CTI lug nuts yet. I'm on hold with the distributor as I type this and just getting the run a round again. So, supposedly their...

    Aluminum wheels

    Thanks Keith, that was me, but I found them else ware and they have already been blasted, powder coated and tire mounted. I do need one more for my spare, but I doubt he'll break up a set of four.

    LMTV self cancelling turn signal adjustment

    Yes, I get that it's an army truck, but that isn't why I'm buying one. I'm buying one because they're a great platform to build an expedition vehicle on. So, since it will be doing long miles, I'm looking to do all of the ergonomics upgrades that I can. I realize most people on steel soldiers...

    LMTV self cancelling turn signal adjustment

    Anyone know the part number for the ring that attaches to the steering wheel to cancel the blinkers? Or where I can get my hands on one? I'm picking up a 2008 M1078A1R in Maryland the first week of October and driving it all the way back to California. I have the Dorman steering wheel and would...

    Snow chains on FMTV tires

    Thanks, thinking we might go that way. Ordered the cable chains earlier this morning on Amazon, then talked to my buddy and decided we’d go this way, Cancelled the order an hour after ordering them and got a message that it was too late to cancel the order, which seems like a stretch since the...

    Snow chains on FMTV tires

    These are only for emergencies when I get caught in weather and have to chain up. My pickup date for the truck is October 7th, then driving it all the way from the east coast to California, so multiple mountain passes to deal with and there can be weather in mid October.

    Snow chains on FMTV tires

    Yes, I understand all of that, but no point in tearing it if it can be avoided by making a smart choice in the chains I buy.:)

    Aluminum wheels

    I was talking directly with Ken. I’ll text him and ask if he can get them. Since I had relayed to problem I was having getting anything from the distributor when I asked if he had them, I’m pretty sure he would have told me if he could get them.

    I got the shouldered lug nuts from Ken, he unfortunately doesn’t have any of the CTI lug nuts.

    Aluminum wheels

    Can anyone post a photo of these wheels with MVT’s from an angle that shows where the outside face of the well is relative to the sidewall of the tire. Looking various snow chain and prefer the SCC cable chains for cost and ease of installation, but it looks like the steel hooks for the tension...

    Snow chains on FMTV tires

    So, looks like these include the tension band? Anybody have photos of these installed. Since I have aluminum wheels that have been freshly powder coated, I’d like not to destroy the powder coating. Due to the thickness of the aluminum, there is basically no dish in the wheel, so the outside face...

    Snow chains on FMTV tires

    Anyone know of a source for cable chains for 395/85 R20’s?

    Aluminum wheels

    Well, I just hope I can find some of these nuts in the next couple of weeks or this new wheel and tire combo are going to be very expensive paper weights.

    Aluminum wheels

    I have a feeling, the CTI lug nuts are going to be difficult to get a hold of. Does anyone know where these may be had other than straight from Hutchinson? If they end up being out of stock, I need a backup plan for the trip home with the truck.

    Aluminum wheels

    So, I found a set of four of these wheels and they are currently being blasted and powder coated, then will get new MVT’s mounted. I have a question relative beadlocks. It seems there are two options, the split steel band beadlock that seems to be the standard issue with the steel wheels, or a...

    LED Headlights for LMTV

    T Thanks, planning to order the heated trucklite headlights, $350 a pair, but didn’t want to if it maybe had them already.

    LED Headlights for LMTV

    Would a 2008 A1R already have the Trucklite heated LED headlights?
