    Installing new tires on LMTV

    I switched from the Michelins to the Goodyears. Much smoother ride (more rubber on the road vs riding on knobs). If you're going to be doing mostly road miles I think its the better tire. If you're going to do a lot of offroading then the Michelins are probably better.

    HMMWV ambulance body dimensions

    Could you swing by one of the units at Mabry that has one? I thought I'd seen them on base before.

    I'm actually just south of Canyon Lake in Spring Branch. If you want to bring the truck over to my place we can compare things side by side. One of the big things a lot of guys are finding is that the circuit breakers and relays are in the wrong spots. You can check the CB cover against what...

    I have joined the Goat herd

    I hope they're able to get it going. If it'd been a few months earlier I would have had a spare.

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    We're getting my wife set for a trip to WV (she's taking Herbal Medicine classes and they're going back to treat people in the back country there) and we were shopping for stuff for that and getting excited about the upcoming trip to Big Bend. Anyone that's even thinking of going please jump on...

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Sun was shining for part of the day so I snapped a couple of pics of th whoopie light. You can see by the front angle shot how low it sits compared to the cargo cover. I don't think it'll make too big a difference at night as it'll cast a lot of light but during the day will only be seen from...

    GP Hmmwv's sold with On Road Titles.

    GP issues SF97s, your state determines how, or if, the title is branded. I'm not going to start any discussions about it but there are states that are issuing on-road titles for HMMWVs coming out of GP in regular auctions. Where you choose to live apparently brands them.

    GP Hmmwv's sold with On Road Titles.

    That may be true in NJ but not every state has a heavy handed government.

    Anyone in Ft Polk and Richmond Va, and Ft Lewis areas?

    You might want to check with Fastenal. Someone on another thread said they weren't shipping anything west to east due to full trucks.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Didn't get much accomplished the last couple of days as we've been working on the MEP003 (bad injector) but did get the whoopie light installed. Sorry no pics as it was raining all day. The light will be very visible from the front but unfortunately is blocked by the cargo cover from the rear.

    I thought maybe some invasion stripes and nose art would look good :)

    I spent about 2 hours yesterday with the pressure washer on the tailgate. Man that's a whole lot easier than sanding or stripping.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    The only real issue with the truck side of the new tailgate is that the center hinge is missing from the bed. Rather than source a new hinge, rivets, getting everything lined up so it didn't bind, etc, I just decided to pull the tailgate side of the hinge off. Since the tailgate doesn't...

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Picked up the new tailgate last night and to my relief it fits! I knew it was the right size just wasn't sure they'd get the hinges located the same on all the trucks. If the gate isn't a NOS piece then it was on a very low mileage truck. Physical condition is outstanding and even the bumpers...

    Idea for M-1082 RV Conversion

    How does it tow with the extra weight? My 1082 was great on flat roads but the slightest incline would seriously drag the MPH down.
