    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    Somebody with the CAD skills needs to 3D print a cover ring for the LMTV bucket that allows for the use of a civilian 4" round LED. It's another one of those things that would sell a million copies (unless it's priced by one of the point-of-compass skalperz)...

    Registering a LMTV in California

    Most states have some guidelines/manual on "assembled vehicles" that define the requirements. These can typically be found at the DMV website. Here's the one for Texas (*see 11.2 for the RV requirements)...

    Registering a LMTV in California

    Step 1) move from CA States that allow for RV conversions typically have a list of like 10-12 things that would potentially make it an RV and you have to have 4-6 of the items on the list done to qualify as a conversion. You then get it weighed, show pics of the installed items, and then...

    Adding Cruise Control to C7

    Heh, the only way one of these trucks sees 127mph is in freefall.... ;)

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    Looks OK, but that driver-side antenna mount is way overkill and adds a lot of weight. You might want to pull that off and send it to me for proper disposal.... ;p I haven't decided if I want to fab one or just mount all my antennas onto the roof rack.

    A0, A1, A1R and TM's

    Rgr all. Yeah, I was just wondering which seats were in your truck given the mix of variants that it consists of. Do you have the box with the headrest pad above and behind the driver?

    A0, A1, A1R and TM's

    I can't find the post, but somewhere you mentioned your truck rode "washbvoard" rough. Do you have the A0 or the A1R seats? The A0 seats have the metal plate that your ass hits on every bump.. The A1R seats are suspension (pretty much look the same, but no metal plate and have much...

    Cab Vent Knob

    Meh. A little JB Weld and it's the next owner's problem. ;p

    Alternative hydraulic hand pump.

    I'd leave the spare at home long before I'd add that much weight over the cab. I do intend to have some stowage above the cab, but nothing my crippled old ass can't carry up a ladder with one hand. I don't even like the builds where people put those giant boxes full of crap up top that takes...

    Adding Cruise Control to C7

    I'm looking to do a wired solution on the dash or column. Am I mistaken in that all I need for my C7 is a 5-pin relay and a switch setup? https://www.amazon.com/Rostra-250-3592-Cruise-Control-Switch/dp/B01H2YORG4/ref=asc_df_B01H2YORG4/...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    That's actually next on my todo list. Too damned hot today, though. :)

    1997 LMTV Journey

    But...but.... <insert BS here> a) supply and demand b) junkyard rental property cost c) labor to remove *none of which apply to the vast majority of crap the surplus scalpers flip You're on the right track... Find the item/size you need on the civilian market. Pay pennies for the item...

    Cab Vent Knob

    I just measured the vent rod shaft and it's 3/16". That's a pretty common size for knobs on US cars.

    LMTV Hitch Extension Kit installed!

    As a site admin I can remember explaing it to folks back in the day who would load up bmps right off a camera dump. They'd embed dozens of MASSIVE images into a thread and users would scream about how it took 10 minutes for a single page to load over dialup. Good times....

    Yep.. All you really need to know is the shaft dia. Threaded-on is a bonus but not always a necessity....

    LMTV Hitch Extension Kit installed!

    Resolution. If you don't start with a higher resolution, you can't ever get a high resolution. That said, some image formats (like .bmp) will *retain* higher resolution better than others (where formats like ..jpg will degrade resolution when converted). If you scan (or take a picture) at...
