I am thinking about purchasing an M1088 tractor for the following 3 reasons.
1. Haul local Hotshot loads within 150 miles.
2. Pick up surplus equipment from Fort Bragg.
3. Awesome toy.
Could use some advice from any current MTV owners or other 5 ton brothers.
Thanks in advance,
Joe
Attached is a picture of my new M1082 LMTV trailer being pulled by War Pig. After I picked it up at Fort Bragg I stopped by the Sandarosa Gardens and loaded it up with a ton of mulch for my wife's landscaping. Upon my arrival home my wife was not as elated by my new procurement as I was. I then...
If you live in the Fayetteville, Fort Bragg area and need anLMTV, MTV, HUMVEE, 2.5 or 5 ton mechanic I recommend Davis On-Site @910.302.8903. He fixed a huge electrical problem I had on my LMTV. This was a self-inflicted wound on my part I will share that one at the Denton, rally over some...

Here are a few pictures of my LMTV being used to haul benches and duck boxes for two Eagle Scout Projects. War Pig had no problem following the Ranger in his Gator. Scouts and Scoutmaster had a great time mudding with a mission.

Here are a few pictures of scouts working on my LMTV. They took out the back troop seats for me. I am replacing the broken seats and installing new ones. I am also going to add seat belts. The new truck ID number I painted is a copy of one from my old unit. Truck originally belonged to the...
Two weeks ago I came home with an LMTV and my neighbor looked at me like I was crazy. This morning he knocks on my door because a dump truck got stuck in his back yard. The M1078 easily pulled the dump truck out of its earth bound tomb. The look on my neighbors face was priceless. I need to...
I picked up my LMTV from Alabama. I drove it back home to Fayetteville NC 500 miles with no issues. Thanks to everyone that provide advice and guidance on how to PMCS the M1078, and what tools to bring with me. No major issues with the truck, I do need to install a new drag link. If anyone...
