    LMTV Air Conditioner

    Those units are made for the FMTV LTAS armored cab and the MTV MRAP. In the army, if its not armored you don't get AC. The interior the LTAS is nearly the same, so it should fit right it. Most of the other parts you need I have seen on eBay, but you are going to have to jerry rig a set up, but...

    Looking for BAE Caiman or LMTV Tech

    He lives near the factory and would have to travel should he work on anything. He is not working now and asked me to inquire how much per hour would somebody be willing to pay? I have no idea.

    FMTV in California?

    For the one trip permits, I went to the DMV, pid the $25 I think it was and showed them my GL document (did not even have a title) and they issued the permit. Its not very specific either, so I suppose you could use it within a week or two of getting one.

    FMTV in California?

    CHP officers are not lawyers and take a 3 week class on CA law. ...they can also issue you a citation for not having one, but they would be wrong. A CDL is for commercial use hence "Commercial" in its name. If you are not using the truck for commercial purposes, then you cannot get past the...

    Oshkosh wins JLTV Contract.

    HMMWV's too, are still going to be around for years.... First, they are all over the place (world - in Korea I recently saw m998 driving around) and second the JLTV does not really replace the HMMWV as a logistics truck. Do you need an expensive armored vehicle to shuttle water around the base...

    FMTV in California?

    I just use one trip permits. Go to the DMV and give them whatever you have, title, gov liquidation docs, etc....and ask for a one trip permit. Its cheap and then you can drive the truck camping, car show, parade, whatever. Don't forget to get insurance though. USAA does not seem to care and have...

    Suddenly M1093 Brakes are stuck on

    OK, I solved the problem a few months back, but I am just getting around to sharing the information, because I needed to find the graphics. Here is the answer to stuck FMTV brakes....you ready? Plugged gladhands or gladhands that are too tight (usually new). Bend them out a bit so some air...

    LMTV Cargo Cover install questions

    I am putting a tarp and bows on my LMTV. It's the later style so the bows are all multi-piece that click together like camping tent poles (instead of the older one piece). I got the poles together with no problem. I also got the tarp/cover on. I just cannot figure out how to secure the tarp...

    Any leads on a complete Stencil kit?

    Actually, I have the entire set. I used the correct font and had them cut into card stock and they worked well on both my trucks. I can make you a set with my stencil cutter, but I am not back from Asia until the first week of September. If you can wait until then let me know. BTW the old...

Please post them, I would really like to see your work. I can see you built a frame first and then mounted sheet steel to the frame.....but would...

    Mk-48 ctis?

    HI, Does the MK-48 have a CTIS system? I have an MK-48 FPU (2007 depot rebuild). I am not clear if it has CTIS for tire inflation and cannot discern from the specs. It's not such a big deal to me, but I am trying to sell it and the potential buyer wants to know and I do not have an answer...

    Assistance Needed for Cat C7 Emission M1078A1

    For the HMMWV it was a sticker. I took a photo of it and made my own. The AMG M35A3 has the same engine. Look there if you can't find one for the LMTV.

    SOURCE for LMTV door windows

    Does anybody know of a SOURCE for LMTV door windows? Are there other trucks that use the same window? I am trying to avoid getting a custom made window, but that may be the only choice. Thanks in Advance.
