    considering fabricating driver side kick panels for group buy

    Great Idea for those who don't have the later model trucks that came with the panel. They certainly clean up the driver compartment. Creates a safe place to add an accessory fuse panel, etc. Need to post a pic for those who have never seen one. I already have one on my truck, but applaud the...

    A1r 1079 up for auction

    Franken-truck heh Pity it's got the low pinion. It'll have the normal A0 drivetrain vibration problems. Hard pass (especially given all the crazy that's about to be unleashed in the bid war). It'll go for huge bucks, though.

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    No, but I'm doing some work on the cab latch finally next week. Got a neighbor who said he'd come watch in case the cab falls on my head (true story). Don't know why that has me so spooked. ;) My next steps need to be: cab latch insulate and panel back wall of cab install a/c (just the...

    S280 corner removal

    To an extent, I'd try it. But there's foam in those aluminum panels, so certainly not flame.

    S280 corner removal

    AAR's adhesives are the devil.... I have window cover slide channels inside my M1079 hab that simply cannot be removed. Others have done it. My truck is special. :(

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    Well, there's an image out there on the web of Olive Oyl painted on a car with her butt as the gas cap and the nozzle being inserted... But it's not likely "forum appropriate". But you get it...

    LMTV Replacement Windshield Wiper Arms

    At the parts store w/o my truck. What length wiper blades do I need for the LMTV? I know two are one length, and one is different, but the Internet is just giving me NSN part numbers and these guys here have no way to match. Can someone save me a trip home?

    M1078 LMTV Fix-up Thread

    The seats are all stock LMTV seats. Pre-A1R have a metal plate under the seat, the A1R has no plate and won't smack your butt on every bounce). Not sure which he has here, but if they have a release lever they are the A0 style. If the have a release knob they are the A1R style. If you are...

    Just got a m1082 trailer. Brake question.

    Interestingly, it's not mentioned a lot in the TM. Only references I see off hand are in the brake troubleshooting (just to test for air pressure).

    Electric AC?

    With all these EV SUVs and trucks using electric compressors, the junk yards may soon offer very solid a/c solutions. I've been teething at the bit to get my electric a/c installed, but I have to get the cab latch rebuild done, the interior insulation and rear panel installed first, and the...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    No, they're pretty well tucked in. The longest one is still some 4" recessed within the cab. Sorry for the crappy pic, it's raining cat and dogs or I'd take a proper one.
