    Look for a Tow Bar near VA

    Looking for a Tow Bar near VA Beach I don't know where to post this but I am looking for a Military Heavy or Medium tow bar near Virginia Beach VA. Can someone explain how the Military Axle Straps work? Do they move around once engaged and are they for limited use only? I see them online but...

    Biggest Box for LMTV

    I appreciate all of the comments and replies. I guess I will either get a S280 and crawl around inside or look for an ambulance box. Thanks

    Biggest Box for LMTV

    12 overall height for a glorified F150 was my point vs a class 6 war proven battle wagon.

    Biggest Box for LMTV

    I appreciate all of the comments and insight from everyone. The thing that I can't seem to wrap my head around is how 3000 pounds can actually affect the stability of a class 6 truck. I understand slight understand 3000 pounds being something that you are aware similar to a 25' boat behind a...

    Longevity of These Trucks

    These trucks seem to have parts used in some of the Over the Road commercial trucks. It seems that most have well under 20,000 miles. How long will these trucks typically last? What are the weak links? I have seen complaints about injector cups and other small things on the engine but that is...

    M1078 camper in the Glamis dunes Thanksgiving 2016

    Everything looks great with your build. I wish I had these type of craftsmanship abilities. Do you experience a lot of body roll from your box. It seems like you do some real off roading. I don't think a better more visually appealing rig can be built for under $30,000. It is hard to find a...

    Biggest Box for LMTV

    I can't say that I ever driven an LMTV but I have been around a decent amount of them. I can't see how a 1500 pound box could make it that unstable. These are designed for 19-25 young army guys I don't think they could be that top heavy. Are you joking or being serious? You almost make it...

    Biggest Box for LMTV

    I think it depends on the area and how the truck will be used. Around my area is mainly mud. No rocks to crawl or mountains. I wish we could post links. But the British army has a very similar truck with a box that seems taller. I also saw a 5 ton with a bed that expanded up into three...

    In my state you can do a storage/abandoned vehicles lien. The process takes about 6 weeks but it works for any vehicle on your property. Thanks

    No Thru Trucks signs

    I would not ask the question until someone stops you for a violation. An F350 and F450 is commerical in some areas but I assume those vehicles use the same roads. You know the officers in your area better than anyone. In my area they would not be concerned unless someone specifically complained...

    Biggest Box for LMTV

    I agree but the prices seem crazy on the M1079 through the usual sources. I hope to find a box from my m1078. Thanks

    Biggest Box for LMTV

    What is the biggest box that can go on the LMTV? Will the M109 Box fit? I have seen the custom boxes and I am trying to figure out if that is the best route. I would like a 7' roof. Thanks,

    I just bought an mc-2a compressor. I need help finding the oil fill for the compressor. I have reviewed the manual and know the general location. I just don't want to unscrew the wrong thing. I am including two links with circles drawn around the possible fill locations. The links are not...
