Looks like you're having a blast out there this year! Wish I could join you.

If you do any deep fording don't forget to check all the fluids as soon as practical for contamination. Good luck out there. Don't forget to get some sleep, either.

Never ran it on a diesel - have used it on several turbocharged cars. Not worth it unless you are pushing the engine /hard/. Like double stock HP or more. The FMTV has a decent intercooler and not a ton to gain from water/meth injection.

Love threads like these. Thanks for the read.

Sweet rig. Hope you get it on the road soon!

Sweet jeep. Whole lot of cool builds in this thread! I will post some of mine shortly.

Few comments: I'm not on the other forum you have it posted for sale on - but the most recent post on there is a Canadian asking if it can be exported. There is no export regulation on the LMTV to Canada - they are 100% legal here. They were even sold new as civilian units in some parts of...

Kicking out a bulletproof windshield sounds fun. There's no way you are lifting one of those doors if it's pointed at the sky, they must be 500+LB each judging by the hinges.

I noticed these trucks now share the same taillights/etc as the LMTV trailers that I see. But maybe the A1's do too and I just never noticed. I also gotta wonder with how top heavy these are, if you roll it there's no way you are getting out the "up" door.. but I guess there's always the roof...

I love the seats and the cargo bin setup. Going to have to do something similar in my truck.

I'm late to the party too! Lots of conversation about aluminum welding on here. Can't say I know much about it, yet. But I do know a fair amount about the NP242XHD, I had to rebuild the one in my GMC pickup after the "pump rub" issue killed it and wore a hole in the case like yours...

I've got a 1991 Leyland with the standard giant NATO 24v trailer plug, airbrake gladhands and a beefy pintle hitch that sits about 33" off the ground. I've also got a 1999 Haulmark 24' enclosed trailer that I'd like to pull behind it. It uses a 2 5/16 ball that is set up for roughly 20-24"...

the LMTV bed is an option, but it's shorter - this has a 14' bed and I believe the LMTV is only 12'. I think if I got an MTV cargo cover and bows I'd be able to make them work with just a bit of sewing. There's a 14' LMTV dump truck or something as well that has a cover that fits just about...

Future Plans This post is mostly so I can get my thoughts down in writing, so I don't forget anything later - and might evolve as my plans change. So what am I going to do with this thing? Well, I'm hoping that it can mostly replace my pickup for all the things I use my pickup for - which...

Fun! Brought it out to m1010plowboy's acerage and had some fun driving around. He's got a lot more experience driving these things around off road and really helped me learn what she could do. Descending an extremely steep hill is interesting when all you can see out the windshield is the...

Recovery So I make the 2 hour drive to go see the truck. I drag my roommate along since his Mazda is better on fuel at the 130km/h that everyone likes to drive in rural AB than either of my old pickups. Tried dragging my good friend and forum user m1010plowboy along too but it turns out he's...

I guess I'll start with a whole bunch of backstory. I've been looking for a truck for a long time. On and off maybe 5 years now. Looked at a huge variety of stuff, Everything from jeeps and the iltis to M37's to deuces and 5 tons and the LMTV. Decided I really like the LMTV - just something...

Found one! I like it so far.

What are you going to pull behind it? The major issues for using them commercially (I've thought about it myself!) are: 5th wheel height - it's too tall to haul most trailers without the trailer ending up being on a stupid angle, and van trailers will be overheight. It's /way/ higher than a...

Anyone out there know of a Leyland/DAF T244 for sale? Just discovered these trucks exist after seeing one in person yesterday, and it checks all the right boxes for me. Similar to the Bedford trucks but with a bigger cab. Doesn't look like they're very easy to find over here, though they are...
