I use rollaround scaffolding from HF. I queue up the tools for the job onto the scaffold, that way I'm not climbing up n down all day.

The TruckTrial rulebook is silent on harness attachment, but yes, the angles are set according to harness manufacturer recommendations. We certainly were not going to attach to the floor like we see some do to get thru tech. There is some more gusseting going on, will update you when its...

Put 2 cabs back-to-back like the '813?

2011 and up MOPAR.

Back to the thread title: LMTV lug nuts. I am conflicted by differing opinions offered by the interweb about thread engagement. Some truckers say one thread protruding past the lugnut. Other drivers say three. The drag race sanctioning body says the length of thread engagement should be equal to...

Those seats are fine, where did you find those? The seats carry the designation GS-1, available on some 2011-up MOPAR performance vehicles or through JEGS P/N 70245.

Yeah, so can't flip the wheels around to single the deuce with LMTV wheels :(

In the shop for "stuff"...

Muffler delete.....sounds the same.

Yes, the "before" weight at the scales confirms what you say. I weighed it in stock configuration, with a second spare tire/wheel, before I started the project. Steer axle = 10,440 lb, drive axle = 6240 lb, gross weight 16, 680 lb. Thank you for that clarification.

Hmm, another drive axle back there might work.....don't get me started :):)

I have my own vision for the LMTV. Started a vlog about it. Vlog #1:

Here is a part of the check out ride: <deleted>

Considering moving the drivetrain rearward. I need to log more hours on the truck first, to get some empirical data. Tomorrow is my goal to post a video from last saturday of a 3 point turn in a narrow wash. Well, more like a 17 point turn :)

Front axle= 9100 lbs, rear axle= 4560 lbs. Total 13,660. Net loss of 1340 lbs front, 1680 rear = 3020 lbs reduction. Gonna replace the springs with custom as it drives like a 7 ton basketball.

I understand. The toolbox has the HF crane and a bunch of tools, maybe 300 lbs. The batteries are between the frame rails behind the axle. The spare is rearward of stock and the heavy spare deployment elevator is absent. So, let me get the truck to the scales to see where we are before "weighing...

Recall the bed, at 50 inch height, is absent. Low COG is best, clearly. Moments are important also in this application. Imagine viewing the truck from the rear. Inscribe a circle, say 4 ft diameter. The engine, transmission, and all the stuff on the frame rails might fit inside that circle, an...

Yes, I want the case to be that if I clear an obstacle with the front tire then I am good all the way back without tearing stuff up.

Possibly. Need to put some hours on it to expose weaknesses. Need to put it on the scales to see how front/rear bias has been affected. More CAT yellow paint. Stickers: Goodyear/Meritor/Allison/CAT. Need to mock up a roll cage before committing to 1000 lbs of steel. Upgrade the little Goodyear...
