    contemplating LMTV or FMTV purchase

    The more I think about the LMTV, the more I like the idea. If you can get one for 10 grand all in, it's a bargain. You can't get a heavy duty diesel pickup in good condition for this much, and LMTV is more capable. Yet, it's sufficiently civilized not to be a nuisance. The only thing I need to...

    contemplating LMTV or FMTV purchase

    My family grew, I have 2 kids (ages 5 and 2) and the truck is for camping "expeditions". Not like a real expedition camper, something more local and less expensive. I currently own a well sorted m923a2 with 3 air ride seats in the cab. I don't feel like butchering the cab to get 2 more seats for...
