    Front glad hand removal/ relocate...

    Thanks guys. Do to lack of space I removed the glad hands and hoses back to the check valves and rerouted some vent lines. I didn't want to mess with capping and potentially affecting the breaks. Glad hands can easily be reinstalled down the road if I wish, but for now just wanted them out of...

    Front glad hand removal/ relocate...

    Thanks Ronmar! I do not plan on flat towing the truck with another lmtv and capping would be easier/cleaner than have to reroute. However, last winter my breaks would not release when ice built up on the emergency glad hand valve. With the glad hand off and tape on the end of the hose...

    Front glad hand removal/ relocate...

    Hey Guys, I recently added a winch to my rig and had to remove the glad hands in the process. I know the emergency needs to vent as to not lock the breaks so my plan is to run a longer hose up under the cab to keep it out of the elements (froze on me last winter) and stick a vent on it. Can I...

    Anyone swap out their steering wheel?

    I was recently told you guys aren't working on trucks you didn't originally sell. Is this true? I have a whole list of mods and was going to plan a trip North, but don't want to get all the way up there just to be turned around.

    M1079 van body on M1078

    Did use the factory springs for the front mounts or we're you able to find something similar aftermarket? Hard mount both front & rear? I've located a box that is in great shape and not far from where I live, but the seller doesn't have any of the mounting hardware and I'm having a hard time...

    M1079 van body on M1078

    Thanks for replying and all the info guys! Oxyacetylene, in your opinion, would it be easier to mount the van body on the original 1078 subframe...taking the with springs, etc from the 1079? Or would swapping subframes be the way to go? Thanks for the info on the leaf springs fmtv...very good...

    M1079 van body on M1078

    I have a m1078 and am brainstorming ideas for a basic box on the back. I like that the m1079 van bodies are stout, well insulated and (in theory) would be a fairly simple swap with the flatbed. Is there anyone out there who can take a quick look at their 1079 subframe and give me an idea as to...

    LMTV M1079 M1078 ARB air locker group buy, we need 50 of you to make this happen.

    Thanks for the PM lmtv. I also made contact w/ Bryce and it sounds like he'll be back to CA in Jan/Feb. Between all the replies here I should be able to put something together and am good for one locker. What kind of a time frame are we looking at w/ ARB? Thanks for spearheading this Adventure!

    LMTV M1079 M1078 ARB air locker group buy, we need 50 of you to make this happen.

    I'd be interested in at least one locker, but would like to install at the same time as high speed gears. I've been trying to connect with Bryce over the last 8 months to no avail. Anyone know where I can get a set of gears (new or used) and have them installed w/ the locker(s). I'm in...
