After seeing a couple of rollover pictures I started to get a bit concerned. All the photos I have seen the cab is bent and often times crushed. Has anyone looked into a roll cage or considered adding extra tubing on the outside and possibly making a roof basket (for more storage)?

I was able to find the manufacturers website and they have 4 locations in USA. https://usa.grammer.com/usa.html

That looks like a great seat. Could you post a part number and any pointers on sourcing them?

I found some GMC Topkick seats on ebay. I know it shares the motor with the LMTV I wonder if the seats would work.

one of the posts says the trucks are actually reconditioned http://trucker.com/equipment/reconditioned-military-trucks-enter-civilian-world

I thought luxury vehicles depreciated a lot. Wow from 150k to 20k (for a used one in excellent condition).

I resealed a diff on my rover once with RTV. After scouring the boards I found out it leaks mostly because people don't follow the instructions. The missing step is assemble parts and tighten nuts enough to make the RTV start to squirt. Wait 8 hours for it to setup. Then finish tightening and...

Any idea how much those Brazos sell for? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Nice find. I wonder if we can get updated parts like newer seats. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

That's some excellent advice. Does the battery box lock?

Sorry another newbie question. Looking at the photos of the M1078 I see the door handle has a lock but there is no key ignition. I also see chains on the floor in many of the auction photos. How do you prevent people from stealing the vehicle?

Thanks that really clarifies it. The truck I'm looking at had a V belt but the alternator is missing so I will need to buy a new alternator pulley along with the new alternator. I think in another thread I saw info on adding AC compressor and it looked V belt so I may end up going that route.

Sorry what is an AO?

Specifically the one form the M1078A1 that has the list of accessories or parts.

Is there anywhere I could get paper copies of the TMs?

I'm still in the bidding phase of getting the truck but the one I'm working on is a 3126. Where can I find information on the kit? Is this something hidden in the TM's and I just need to dig it out?

Is it possible to convert the M1078 to a serpentine belt system? With searching I show the HMMV and MRAP support it. (not sure of they are similar in any way) sorry to ask such basic questions.

Wow. Excellent thread. It took me 3 days to catch up. :)

Sorry it looks like I had not made it far enough in the thread before I posted my question. :whistle: I like your mounting ideas.
