It can be done, it just takes a little work. I had a local glass shop cut a piece of glass and glue it in place. Endless Adventures had great DIY YouTube Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the response, I’m definitely going to look into this. I will keep you posted on my results.

Thanks for the help, the front glad hands are back on and everything is working like it should.

Oh man…this makes perfect sense! Two days ago I capped off the front glad hands, just because I never dreamed of needing them. I will definitely try this first, thank you.

I did a thing tonight and I’m not sure if what I did was bad or did something mess up. After working on my M1078 A0 changing the passenger mirror, I released the parking brake and let the truck roll back against a wheel chalk about ten feet away, my driveway is relatively flat but I didn’t want...

Make sure to pack the bearings good on the "dry" side of the hub, other wise the inside bearings and the outside bearings will be wet from the gear oil.

I took my brake shoes off, maybe they are in the way and stiff springs are making it difficult to remove the hub. Hey, if what you did works, then run with it.

Glad to see you figured it out, now lets talk about the long list of toys you have listed. I like the pic you posted of your LMTV, where did you find such a clean ride?

I had to replace both left and right seals on the front axle and I just put back regular gear oil in the hubs. IMO the hardest part was getting the tire off and pulling the brake drum off, had to back the brakes off a little for the drum to come off. Pay close attention to how everything comes...

Wow, nice ride you have there. Welcome to the group.

Everybody wants one, I can see a trend here. I love my 1078 wish I could drive it more.

I use mine to launch my boat on the sandy beaches where we live. Just the cost of a blown up transmission in a regular pickup truck is equal to my m1078. Plus it has made me some money pulling people out of the soft sand in there 4x4's.

Welcome to the club, this truck is one fun vehicle. Enjoy
