    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    Thanks….. didn’t you see the snow storm we got this year? Actually, I do plan to go to the snow and ice at some point….. so I do want it to be an all season/weather truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    Since we are on the topic….. my truck came with these headlights from the auction. Anyone know if they are heated? They are LED and stock from the military.

    Space needed above transfer case?

    Basically a 6” space for water pumps and valves. The majority of the floor is framed under the insulation. If I went the 3” route, it would be framed inside the insulation. So, harder to build and less insulation value. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Space needed above transfer case?

    How much space would you figure was needed to clear the transfer case under all conditions (except being pulled out)? I am planning a camper and can either leave 1” or 3”. There are trade offs both ways. 1” is easier and more useful. I would pull the camper off if I needed to pull the...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Hope your shoulders hold together…. I spent about a month waiting on something I did to heal in the middle of my project as well. Sucks getting old, but better than the alternative. Keep up the good work! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Like the progress. You are going faster than I am. Sounds like you are a great husband….. taking such great care of your wife and all. [emoji3] One question/comment….. I can’t tell if you rolled the KillMat or not. Just pointing out that it is supposed to be rolled and the dimples should be...

    Real useful load limit LMTV&FMTV

    I think (from memory) my 1083 bed was about 3,000lb. I thought the 1078 was about 2500lb. Hope that helps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Moving my Transmission cooler

    That is a good point. I am surprised that the sample port was not taken from the front cooler. Right now I am only having luck finding -20 hoses with 2406-16-20 reducers on both ends. Seams like a lot to mess with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Moving my Transmission cooler

    I did a few sanity checks. The fittings appear to be -16 or 1” jic37 fittings with 1-1/8 hoses. One hose is 14’ with one straight and one 90degree end with my moved cooler One hose is 13’6” with one straight and one 45 degree end with my moved cooler. I also have one -4 that is 22’ of 3/8...

    Moving my Transmission cooler

    I spoke to the local hydraulic hose company. These hoses are expensive. I can get 1-1/8 DOT hoses with a braided cover or 1-1/4 hydraulic hoses (not DOT). The 1-1/4 ones are more money but larger. The both hoses are $30 per foot ish and the fittings for the smaller size were $80 for the...

    Moving my Transmission cooler

    I opened the mount holes a little to make sure the cooler could “float a little. I know the original had rigid connections and the holes were tight on two holes and 4 were slotted (tight on the sides though). I am wondering if I should put some rubber washers on both ends of the bolts to...
