LMTV has remained daily driver.. NOT BY CHOICE... its only thing that runs.... (though alternator not run in 2.5yrs.)
Speaking of Alternator.... Local "Electric Motors" ad on Marketplace showed three electric motors but onnnnnne???? not motor..... You folk probably see exactly what I saw hmmm?? so went. He knew nothing about any of them.... selling for friend he said.... and friend did not know anything either...offered under 100 bucks cause for my broke arse.. a useless brick at 100 bucks is still a lot of skipped meals.. LUCKY as fawk...... finally after all this time have a working alternator by switching the regulator off it; onto mine. (both were 200amp 14/28 volt Hummer Neihoff)
What else... what is suppose to be daily driver engine swap has KICKED MY ARSE.... 800% nightmare. still not running. Does not help that only get 3,4 months a year to work on it cause of weather... (no garage)
GARAGE.... speaking of garage.... ALMOST HAVE A GARAGE NOW. started last hmm. Oct.. Bought it years before and was waiting on retriment to set it up. Tried for good hmmm.. year maybe 1.5 years on Facebook to find help to assemble it (suppose to be 12 soldier assembly. ) Finally said Fawk it Oct 2024 and started to built it myself mostly. .... had to stop cause of weather. Started again in July. (worked on daily driver again in June) Anddddddd tada...... so freaking close to being Erected. Much to do once sewn together. (leaks fixd, windows fixed, Paint with ?? Polyurethane? Add a heater, set up generator building to muffle sound and get power into it... All so can work thru winter on all the shiat I got to do.

LME maintenance tent erection
sweet...... went back and looked and your correct... they are "uploaded" apparently at some point they switched to "hosting" on their own servers. Wonder what year they did that hmmmm... How long is standard LME? thought it was 24x32ft? (taken from their website) or is it only 16'...
