    Try to weld in or patch over

    I have a 6 spots (3 shown in the picture) that I need to patch. No one will probably ever see it. Should I try to weld it in (I am not the best at thin metal), or patch over with a small plate and body caulk? this Is not a show truck. Thanks!

    Do you mind posting a picture and what rubber you bought (post a link maybe)? My cab squeaks like crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    That looks great! What was the fabric from? A patio area rug or something specific? What section? I might go get me some if my Costco has any. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Front drive shaft grease cap came off

    @fuzzytoaster uses one all of the time and recommended it…. So I bought one. Of all people, I would trust his recommendation. Any tool can be broken under the wrong circumstances. This is the one I have: OEMTOOLS 24538 Heavy Duty Automotive U Joint Puller, U Joint Tool Works On Most Class 7...

    Front drive shaft grease cap came off

    Amazon has a tool for just over $100. It is bright green. At that price it was worth having the tool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M1088 camper conversion

    You can leave the intake where it is and have a crawl through. The tire has to go, the hydraulic pump gets moved down…. But you can do it. The issue is your box has to clear the filter so you may have a notch in the box. That is what I plan to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I found a new LMTV parts source

    I don’t think I have heard you referred to as a scalper…..for what that is worth, but they do exist. I have seen them. I think the difference is those that are reasonably priced and those that buy up all the reasonably priced parts so they have the entire market, then the price goes up 10x...

    FYI Secure your FMTV's fuel tanks to help prevent fuel theft

    Well, I think it would be really hard to keep someone from drilling. I personally would rather them find the drain plug and steel my fuel than drill my tank. Now having someone put something nasty into my tank…. That would be worth the locking cap in my mind. Sent from my iPhone using...

    DIY Remote Tire Inflation System (RTIS?)

    Ok…. I have a slow leak and I do not have time to mess with CTIS yet…. Too many higher priorities. So, instead of me standing there for 20-30 minutes airing up tires every time I want to go for a drive, I started a small easy project. Only my rear tires have a leak, so I am working on only 4...

    Dash light repurposed?

    Anyone ever use the unused dash lights for something else? Contemplating using the van door open, chemical detected, and dump bed up lights for something. Just curious what you did, how hard it was to tap into, and where you picked to tap into the harnesses. Sent from my iPhone using...

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    @chucky that looks great! How did you attach the plywood to the truck steel? I don’t see any bolts…. What did you use? I am planning my panels, but need to repaint the interior and dash first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
