you will need gear oil for the front hubs ( they do dry out fast). I'd advise staying in the far right lane. Use a GPS and know your turns as you approach them.
LMTV is a airdrop vehicle , a M900 series truck is not. There are many pros on the M900 series trucks, hardly any cons. I own both , and I don't mind sharing.
I own both, in fact I own a little bit of everything I can get ! Well, with that said , no truck will ever be as general public consumer friendly as the M900 series trucks. The military demands these these trucks for their use , not ours. When airdrop became the best game on the planet, the LMTV...
Let's be clear about this ... rescued surplus=wholesale , after that, it's a retail transaction. The expectation of someone who wants to purchase MVs for the same price that someone else rescued one off Gov Planet is absurd. I am seeing this all the time! When the hammer falls, you gotta pay...

I'm in the same camp with you. I'm hoping to get more done on my M1078 come spring. I already have the high speed gears , and many other upgrades ready to go. Dropping RPMs can only be a good thing , and as NDT just said ... get it all done while you're at it.
