    Cab Lift Hydraulic Problem - New LMTV - Advice Needed

    Sometimes it's helpful to add the fluid into the upper (shared) reservoir at the pump...then bleed air from the lower reservoir at the hand pump by working the pump. Repeat as needed.

    Military Vehicle Camper Insurance

    Not denying that's the case, but it certainly wasn't the last time I spoke to them on the phone a couple years ago. The literally stated word-per-word that when I completed the conversion, to just let them know and include photos and estimated value, and they would underwrite it. Has their...

    Military Vehicle Camper Insurance

    That's so odd. They literally told me that they would write it as a RV with no issue. I'll ask about it again come renewal time. They know it's military but I was very careful to never mention "off road" (full disclosure or not, that's one thing the industry frowns on). I've no loyalty to...

    Military Vehicle Camper Insurance

    I'm under "former military vehicle" currently but when I asked about RV coverage Hagerty said "no problemo". I haven't finished the build and there's some question as to whether Texas will even register it as an RV (which won't matter, I'll just legally register it elsewhere under my LLC...

    AFAIK) blowing hydraulic fluid out of reservoir when raising the cab with Air.

    Colt lists the pump rebuild kit and links in his description: And here's the cab latch kit: https://www.amazon.com/LMTV-MTV-CAB-LOCK-SEAL/dp/B08SWMHZM5

    Pretty common. Rebuild kit for the pump and might as well do the cab latch...

    LMTV Stock Axles and Lockers

    Bruce is good people. Yeah, you can slap them in front and rear. I think most don't do the front because it's a steer axle. There's tons of "locker" threads in there with a lot of good feedback.

    LMTV Stock Axles and Lockers

    And that leads to the next question (since he doesn't have a truck yet): Is the LMTV the right platform for you? If you want a truck that can do 70mph, with selectable lockers, maybe a Cummins....why not just buy that truck instead of doing axel swaps and engine swaps, etc, etc, etc. There...

    Roof drips water.

    Yeah, I just mic'ed the OEM one I pictured above. It's 7/64 and even that feels pretty thin. They sell the material in a number of sizes (even at HomeDepot). It's a flat surface-to-flat surface seal so it won't take a lot, but 3/16 would be a closer to OEM...

    No air or e-lockers available. :(

    This is what I'd use (1/16" closed cell rubber): EDIT: see below (get thicker) https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rubber-Cal-Closed-Cell-Sponge-Rubber-Neoprene-1-16-in-x-39-in-x-78-in-Black-Foam-Rubber-Sheet-02-128-0062/304363420#overlay

    Roof drips water.

    Take the lights off, scrape off the old gaskets, make or purchase new gaskets. reinstall lights. The last ones I found for sale were surplus and laughably about as much as the lights. I never checked with TruckLite. I'd make them. Just need a sheet of thin, pliable rubber that's weather...

    I'm sort of surprised that the Dragon suite doesn't have a state/province dropdown select that populates off of country. Yeah, making it from scratch would be a bit of work (just getting all the possibilities plugged in).

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    Yeah, sorta. There's a drain somewhere when it's powered off. I found out over time and eventually cost me a good battery. I never really pursued it but I should. I'll have to ponder on the best way to do a disconnect. I know that I don't want to pull the white inner bezel/trays every time...

    Congrats on the truck ! Not many A1R's in the wild. There's only a few of us in here. While a lot of the stuff in the TM's is applicable (especially the newer A1 stuff published in 2005), you'll find next to nothing with regards to the C7. Pics !!!!!

    Roof drips water.

    I get that. It was a misunderstanding on my part. I thought you guys were onto Ned for not having a city listed. I was curious why you were not asking the same of Spanky. I'm squared away now. btw: I'm pretty sure it's possible make it a required field in the membership form that...
