Sadly this also happens in Maryland too. https://mdsp.maryland.gov/ASED/ASED%20Bulletins/Bulletin%20ASED-009%20Military%20Vehicle%20Inspection.pdf But I am not quite sure how much meat in it. Will they eventually reinforce the law. In the document it says: Prior to purchase of a military...

Hmmm that is interesting. I was worried about that Uncle Sam would not allow us to export an M1078 to other countries. There are so many pricy Unimog or MAN expedition vehicles coming from Europe and Australia. Would the bandits be more interested in these vehicles?

Are there any problems with traveling with an LMTV out of the United States? say.... south America.

We didn't know that you have spent over 5K to hire people to get your rig started at your house. I can certainly feel for you. Yes, it is an LMTV, but the engine is a 3116. A lot of school bus and RV use this engine. I don't see why a certified diesel mechanic can't handle it. If the...

It has been so long ago. Can you have it towed to a diesel shop near you?

Wow, that is massive :)

If you know of someone who has a centrifuge. have them spin the milky oil sample for you. You can tell if it is water or coolant contamination. If you cant find a centrifuge, you MIGHT be able to freeze the sample in the freezer over nite, the oil/water emulsion will break, you may be able...

GovPlanet should ship their Hawaii inventory to the mainland. :)

What are the current supplies of LMTV namely M1078 and M1079 from GovPlanet? Recently, there are not many listings at all except in Hawaii.

For siping, I just use my Dremel with a cut-off wheel. I made a jig, so siping will look more consistent through out the tire. It is not too bad. For what I need, siping is fine, I don't need grooving.

It can be for sure depending on the driver and his skills in wheeling, especially on the rock. Unlike mudding, rock crawling is "not" about speed, it is all about finesse. One has to keep the wheel speed down to avoid wheel spinning. One airs down the tires to the point the tire surface...

It was invented by John F. Sipe in the 1920s. Sipe worked in a slaughterhouse and grew tired of slipping on the wet floors. He cut some grooves and thin slits on the bottom of his shoes. ..... :D Jeeper often have their mud terrain tire siped for better on the road performance. I did...

Has anyone tried siping their 395/85R20 to improve its performance on the rainy days on the highway?

BFH fixes everything. :D

In their web site, they list a 16' box is $15K. Unfortunately, the price or the actual cost is hard to pin down and compare among the vendors. It is almost impossible to get the details. That is why I will need to visit their physical site in person if they have a model and example to show.

I DO really appreciate your commitment to an LMTV. It seems to me that you are putting the cart before the horse. Like you, I am in the market of getting either M1078 or 1079. I don't mind to purchase some hard to get replacement parts NOW that is specific to M1078. I understand that you...

Yes, I guess, But there are members just come here show they have bigger toys than us, or some just come here to tease us but refuse to provide any details. However, it is their choice. :)

Yes, I read that. It is distrubing to say the least. But not sure how much teeth will this be. i will try to register in MD. If I can't I will just register in other States. There are States allow you to title and register without living in their State. It is pain but there are ways to get...

Thanks for posting. Just wondering if you have the parts number and sources listing of the hoses that you replaced. It will be a great help for those lazy members like me. LOL.
