    How many lockers to use for a 6WD M1088?

    Gents- Please don't kill any little trees! Haha I can tell you definitively that the 6x6 rear axle has no power to it unless the transmission is shifted into MODE. The "best" placement for a locker is purely based on owner preference. We put the Acela Monterra lockers in the rear axle so...

    Air lockers are designed and ready for our [very large $$] Purchase Order. While it may have been a valiant effort by another, we're not going to ask people to pay up front to get them built. As soon as we are able to determine market size and set the capital aside we'll bring them to...

    How many lockers to use for a 6WD M1088?

    The power divider completely disconnects the rear most axle until MODE is activated and the two axles get locked together...and if locker is installed in rear most axle, you now have semi-select-able locker.

    How many lockers to use for a 6WD M1088?

    Depends if you want "incredibly capable" or "virtually unstoppable" The only downside to putting a locker in the intermediate is the very large tire marks left when turning on concrete and maybe some accelerated tire wear. Placing in the rear gives you a select-able locker because it will only...

    Civilian Headlight and Keyed Ignition Switches for FMTV/LMTV - Looking for Input

    Nice work! We have discussed offering a replacement instrument panel for A1's but it is quite involved...and we're not really sure if we can offer without a LOT of hands on support. And...it would cost several thousand dollars so not sure of the market size. A0's have a mechanical engine so...

    We have a "plug and play" replacement headlight switch kit that we're introducing in the next week or so or the FMTV. The headlight switch is quick and easy to install and plugs directly into the OEM amphenol Master Vehicle Light Switch (MVLS) connector, and requires a single 12VDC connection...
