Makes sense. Thank you for the advice. Ive been looking at those generators also. But i think i better pick my battles and wait a bit lol. But they seem to go very reasonable in price. May be my next purchase

Welcome from WV. I like my LMTV. I've got a couple new air dryers here in Charleston if you can't find one anywhere, you'd have to come pick it up.

Talking points for the wife, that is funny.

Just tell her it is for the business and use it for advertising

A light tower makes a great generator and it has a built in load bank and you can exercise it hike helping the kids school or church out

Welcome to the site and you can bring it over to the farm and

A. Drop it off to store (so long as I can move it to mow around).
B. Bring it over to work on it in the big barn.

Fyi truck trailer and lmtv.... 30970lb....courtesy of the cat scale. 55mph the whole way. Towed great. Nerve racking but great

 

[Longrange08]

So here we go. The good. Runs drives seems to function well. 9000mi The bad. Missing head and tail light front wheels dont spin hence no 4wd.air dryer was removed. And missing a couple fuses. Im hoping one of the missing ones controls the transfer case Clutch?? And its leaking a very small amount of oil up front somewhere. Not much but well see. Here are some pics for you nasayersalso. Missing two batteries..

I'm glad you made it home safe! It looks like a good truck once you sort out some of the minor stuff. Some of the vendors here have newer style air dryers for sale that work much better than the OE one (finned). Check with suprman.

 

[Longrange08]

I did. Very nice guy. Said he needed pics so he knew what i needed. On my list for tomorrow

 

[wheelspinner]

How did the wife take it? BTW nice looking truck.

 

[FloridaAKM]

Good looking truck, glad you made it home safely. You will like the new air dryer from Suprman, I just installed the one I got from him & it works great. Your old one would have to be thrown away anyway, so no loss there. Your headlights are 12 vdc, so pick out something bright so you can see your way around. Your oil leak may well be something loosened up by an army mechanic to help get rid of the truck, a little wrench time will fix that. Good luck with her & keep posting pictures as you progress thru fixing her up.

Here is a picture of the air dryer he sells.

I recommend the h4 headlights. Great price and light output.

 

[FloridaAKM]

That is what I put in my Deuce & the M1081; the H4 was a direct replacement. My LMTV came with both headlights broken out, sort of like the OP. Your choice of bulb can really light up the road.

Easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission....

Tell her M1078 was a business acquisition decision, came out of your advertising budget and happens to be tax deductible. Then ask her if her 200+ prs of shoes and Coach purses are tax writeoffs.
