In my humble opinion, the absolute best example of an lmtv expedition rig! These trucks are such marvels of engineering, and such a fantastic platform from which to build! It's sad to see so many of them butchered and bastardized with materials and workmanship that would be an embarrassment even if found on a 1970s travel trailer. Your's Sir, is the perfect marriage of exceptional engineering and fantastic design, materials, and incredible attention to detail that these trucks deserve.. Well done!
Well thank you for the very kind words, that means a lot to me. My goal was to build it better than the military would. With the expectation of it lasting 30 years in harsh environments. And to go as big as possible on everything like fuel, water, solar, batteries….. I love a challenge and creating things that people look at and think, that’s how it supposed to be. Thanks again for the kind words.
Wow what an amazing LMTV conversion! I'm also looking to do one and never seen these rims on the LMTV and also still has the CTIS. Could you tell which rims this are and how you didi it?
The military uses them on the Himar vehicle which is our vehicle with rocket launchers on the rear. On steel soldiers look up LMTV fmtv aluminum wheels. I did a pretty big right up on it.
Looks great. Did you buy a cruise control kit? If so, I would love a link. Thanks, be safe, and I hope yall have a great time with the stewart and stevenson.
Ours has the electronic controlled Caterpillar 3126. So adding cruise control only requires a couple switches and some wires going to the ECM. Then taking it to Caterpillar to have them turn on that option in the ECM. It’s all laid out on steel soldiers in my thread. Keith’s overland project.
@NOMADventures360 Thank you, sir. I will jump on there and have a look. We've just started our build, It's a 1085, and it also has the 3126. Can't wait to see more of yalls adventures.
Beautifully done!
Thank you very much!

Sorry I missed you @ Sam’s today. Your truck looks bigger in person, but your videos don’t do justice to how clean it is.
I’m definitely not a professional with the camera. My skills are engineering and fabrication.
