    Removing Cab

    Considering the existing condition, unbolt everything and tilt it forward until it falls off. Drag it from there.... It's really pretty easy to remove the cab provided you have some way to physically remove it. I removed the fenders and the step/box thing under the door. I made 4 lifting...

    How does the m1078 4x4 work?

    Bleed the parking brake on the spinning tire(s)...? That's what I'd like to play with someday....

    Battery tender for FMTV

    Can I ask why to avoid Noco? I have one and though it was a bit pricey, I think it's been pretty awesome.

    A Guy, a Dog, an M1083, and 2700 Miles

    If you pick the alternate route via I70, be mindful of the weather through the rocky mountains! i.e, if it were me, I'd go South. But, if you do go the northern route and need anything near Denver, feel free to reach out ;) Have fun and be safe!

    Hydraulic cylinder rebuilding (spare, cab etc)

    Not sure about the cab or spare cylinders but your idea is legit. Look at Abom79 on youtube, he does this on the regular. Here's the first one that I found

    M1088 camper conversion

    Hit me up this spring. I'm pretty sure I'm getting rid of mine but I'm not ready to part ways until my plan comes together a little further. That being said, I'm not sure why you want to go up. A flat bottom box is certainly easier than having to build around the tranny but you've already...

    DIY camper box construction- what sizes/wall thickness steel or alu have you used?

    Just a couple of my thoughts. I agree composite is likely the best overall however as stated above, might not be the best for your low(er) budget DIY builder. For what it's worth, I'm planning on building a steel tube frame box from primarily 2x2. I'll skin the box with FRP panels. Aluminum...

    Alum. matching door latch handle and window crank (NOT military match)

    If you guys are having trouble with the "hub" to the window crank interface... Probably, 15-ish years ago I installed power windows in a car and had to lock the crank and hub together because the fitment wasn't good enough. I just drilled a small hole all the way through the hub and crank and...
