    Here's the tool list that I'm building for on-board (not including spare parts, etc). It's *way* more than you'd want to fly with, but you can always hit a Horror Freight before leaving MO: Glad Hand Air Hose and chuck 20 ton Air/Hydraulic Bottle Jack Two 4' Breaker Bars 1 1/2" Truck Lug...

    Extreme Potato LMTV build

    I'll keep y'all updated. CoachGeo was the first to order these and they should be coming in pretty quick. These were the shocks. Assuming that they work, Monroe should be able to cross-ref them to a current product code. Direct Action Shock Absorber Military MRAP RG-31 BAE Systems Land...

    What have you done WITH your FMTV ( trips, Rescues etc) NOT: fixes, updates etc

    SOP. Towed a car out of the sand today. Pretty much every day at the beach I get 1-5 people come ask me or flag me down for a recovery. It's actually worse when there is almost no one out there on the weekdays (fewer trucks running around to pull folks out). The big fun is late at night at...
