So will a reprogram of the M1078 increase speed?

Steering may have been a big issue on the original demil codes but those were changed in Nov 2014. I bought 2 from the NC Forestry Dept in Jan with no demil requirements. Several other SSrs have bought them in the last year.

You can see the flasher unit just sitting there in pic #2. I'm guessing that's not a standard military unit install.

OP PM'd and said he got the vehicle home.

Sorry wasn't available this afternoon. If you still need it tomorrow (Sunday) we can make arrangements to meet or you can swing by and pick up. Unfortunately I believe both mine and Warthog's are 3/4" pins not 1" but that should get you by if only going a short distance. PM'd OP my number.

That's a sweet looking set up. If I don't manage to get a winch truck I'll keep that set up in mind. Now if they'd just start selling some more LMTVs in TX I could get started.

Someone on another LMTV thread posted a video of taking the spare tire down. Not sure which thread but within the last couple of weeks.

Were you ever able to resolve this?

On my mobil device but can't find any info different than on one of the normal postings. A big question on these TYPE of listings is if they come with titles. If it is a private individual and all they have is GP paperwork from a prior sale you're going to have a tough time getting a title.

My conflict isn't over whether GovPlanet selling private items is good or bad just whether buying a private item through GP is good or bad. I can't assume it's in any better shape than one sold off of Ft Campbell or Ft Hood. Minimum bids on actual government surplus reflect a bit of "risk" so...

I know GL sells items for private individuals but does GovPlanet do that as well? The reason I'm asking (not discussing a future auction though) is noticing a vehicle that appears to be sitting in a residential driveway (looong driveway but still appears private). I'm a bit conflicted as to...

I thought the rounded ones were the older style.

If he rear ended another FMTV then the bumpers wouldn't have meant much. I'm watching for an opportunity to get one of these. How are the brakes in a normal driving situation? Would this have been a driver inattention issue or just lack of capacity to make a sudden stop?

Congrats on a safe trip!

2nd for the "depends on the price"

Thanks for thinking of me! I had actually hit Mike up about it just after he posted the picture :)

WOW! What a nice truck. I'm guessing I'm not going to find one that looks that good. Actually I'm just hoping to find one in my price range (which I know won't look that good).

Almost all vehicles come from the factory with some body filler. Most times it's to cover up welding seams, assembly line damage, etc. My family was in the auto business from the '50s up through the '90s and saw it on just about every make and model. However, they should have primed it before...

Other option is to remove the drive shift and roll it off the trailer.

Check my Goat thread regarding their shipping and why I'll never use them again. Even if they had the only piece I'd ever need and no one else did.
