    How many need a Detroit locker for LMTV ?

    I have a selectable locker in my daily driver..... that would be my preference too, but I doubt they will ever be made for lmtv. There just aren't enough in the public sector imho. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How many need a Detroit locker for LMTV ?

    I am curious if you only used one Detroit on a 6x6 rear axle how it would behave. It seams like when not in mode, it would behave like an unlocked truck unless you had really good traction and you were getting on the throttle. Otherwise, one of your intermediate axle tires would probably...

    Frame Rail FMTV VIN number

    Google Montana rv plates. There are companies that set all of this up for you. They handle most of the leg work (and charge you for it). It pays off best if you are paying sales tax. And if you are doing multiple vehicles. It is not cheap, but if you are keeping your vehicle long...

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    I must have missed this before. I really like your drop hitch solution. Are those two standard 2" hitch receivers welded onto a custom cross bar bolted into your frame? Any pics from underneath? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Frame Rail FMTV VIN number

    Start an LLC in Montana and register it there through the mail. Then get lifetime plates. No inspections, sales tax, or annual registration fees besides the LLC annual fees. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That seams like a good idea. I am surprised (and kind of not surprised) that the programs are not already available to them from their own databases. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bullet proof glass

    Anyone know of an affordable source for bullet proof glass. I understand that nothing is really bullet proof. Just looking for some slits of armor glass. Maybe 6" x 12" or more wide. Trying to go cheap, but still be at least class 3 or better. Thanks in advance. Sent from my...

    FMTV spares and tools to bring on a long trip

    What do all of you think is a required list of tools and spare parts for a long trip? Assuming that a parts store will not be available for parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can you please show how you extended the frame? I am looking at doing a similar build, but starting with a 1088. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FMTV Snow and Ice performance?

    I found some on the internet. I did not buy any yet, so I am not sure of the quality. I think they were high on a google search. I don't have the link anymore, but they were around $100 per tire. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do you have a wall fridge as well? Or, what is the door in the wall across from the seats? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FMTV frame steel.... weldability?

    My current plan is to either find a 1085 that I can afford, take the bed off, then shorten the frame, or buy a 1088, bolt on a frame extension to move the pintle back further and then add my camper subframe. No welding on the truck frame. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
