Take a look at my thread starting on page 70: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?152882-Working-on-the-M1078-LMTV/page70 Could be the same occurrence where the aluminum fan hub disintegrates. Be grateful that it didn't do it at 2500 RPM like mine did throwing the fan into the...

I'd leave it. I think the contrast looks good and it's awfully nice to start messing with.

I hope Andy isn't packing more than a toothbrush as I think I'll be taking most of the room in the 1009.

Well everything is assembled except for the ice (dry and not so dry) for the cooler. I'm hoping to get on the road Thursday morning as it's at least 8 hours worth of driving in the M1009 (including a couple of pit stops for fuel, food, and evacuations). I'd like to get the camp set up before...

It's extremely easy to pull the rear axle shafts for towing vs disconnecting the drive shaft. I was broke down on I-10 and had the shafts out and stored before the tow truck got there. I had assumed he would run air lines from his truck to mine so didn't cage the brakes but something didn't...

Electrical issues are common. Either be a Ninja with a multimeter or make friends with someone that is. Common maintenance on everything else is fairly straightforward. There have been a number of issues with military mechanics swapping airlines to the wrong valves so something to be aware of...

Here's a shot of my "fall" colors (pun intended).

Yes.

Good luck on the tail gate. I actually bought a M1082 trailer with the idea of taking the tail gate for my truck when a friend just happened on a gate at a recycling center. Other than that I haven't seen any for sale.

Don Johnson was in Miami Vice. Wrong beach and wrong decade.

You'll just have to watch it yourself. I don't do screen captures off my TV.

Anyone notice the SEE in Hawaii Five-O? A little hard to ID with all the plate steel welded on it.

We're going to be there Wed afternoon through Sunday morning.

This is open to any and all. At this point there's a LMTV coming from Ft Worth on Thursday. We'll be coming from San Antonio on Wed with a M1009. I haven't heard anything definitive from anyone else.

I like to just drain the air tanks and leave everything else the way it is. That way the Low Air Buzzer tends to scare the crap out of them and alerts me to someone messing with the switches. Then I can stare down the parents who aren't minding their angelic offspring.

As a veteran I think it would be MORE disrespectful to take another veteran (the M35) and paint it anything BUT military colors. As long as you're not trying to pass yourself or the truck off as active duty then anything back to original is just a tribute.

Anyone in the SA area that can do a display on Thur Nov 10 for an elementary school music program in Universal City? They want any US vehicles at 0800 at Olympia Elementary 8439 Athenian Dr Universal City, TX 78148 (Behind the Forum shopping center – 35 and 1604) It's early and a weekday...

Still bigger than my calf. I'm hoping it's down enough to get out of this boot by next week. I tried driving left footed today and didn't have much luck.

Looks like Keith might have figured out what was causing the short in the circuit breaker panel causing the tail lights not to work. There had been something mounted on the panel cover at some point where the put rivnuts through the panel and then about 1.5" bolts. Since whatever was being...

Looks like the GA Rally folks got their orders at dinner last night :)
