    FMTV frame steel.... weldability?

    I read somewhere that GXV extended an M1083 by 4'. I was trying to figure out what they did and what the correct way to do it is. I don't plan on extending the frame inside the wheelbase, but I am considering extending behind the rear in a 1088. When I build a camper, I would like to...

    How rare are 1085's at Auction?

    I have been looking over the last month. How hard are they to come by, and do they go at a premium? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FMTV Snow and Ice performance?

    At present, with an FMTV, Detroit Soft Lockers are the only locker option. So I could not turn off the locker to turn. It would simply do its thing on its own. Would you opt for one if you did not have an on/off switch? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FMTV Snow and Ice performance?

    So, I have asked the question.... I have searched the forums..... I have seen other people ask the question, but...... I have yet to see a truly direct answer from someone with personal experience. How well do these trucks perform in ice and snow (open diff)? Does anyone have any personal...

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    I love the interior work. How expensive is it to have your cat dealer flash your ecm? Do they have all of the correct connectors? Is that commonly available at any cat dealer? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FMTV Air Conditioner Hybrid Completed Installation

    How is your system working now? With your splash guards modified, do you get more mud/crud in the engine compartment? Do you have pictures of how much coverage you have now with the cab down? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What have you done for comfort.....

    I am building a house/shop right now. I plan to get the truck once I am done with the shop. I tend to plan my projects out pretty thoroughly before I start them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
