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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 purchased a LMTV.
1996 M-1078
I would like someone that knows these trucks pretty well to let me know what it needs before I make the 1000 mile trip.
Please me PM and we can work something out.
If someone is willing to Pick it up and getting it going I am willing to pay for...
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...
