Dude..... so I am thinking about buying a M1078 so i start watching a bunch of videos about them. And then I get to yours, and you’re wearing the shirt we did as a fundraiser for my little brother. I think that’s a sign, I need a 1078! Thanks for the love brother. ❤️
Oh I’m sure we can find you a M1078 of you want one Also we just got our latest order from bunker branding. #Meardoesaburnout love what you do. Matt, keep up the energy.
Just drove by you on interstate 90, headed towards Missoula. We were admiring your amazing ride, when we noticed the TH-cam logo. Naturally, we just had to check it out! Hope you're road trip is filled with fantastical experiences that keep you motivated to continue doing what you do! Keep those videos coming!!!
Nice first run. Congrats on the trip. Your wife is a riot! I was rolling hearing some of her comments. Too bad trax doesn't show the boxes on thier site. Would have been interesting to see them. Have a great 4th of July you two.
Many years ago, while on those roads, I got chased by tornadoes... at least it looks like you have better weather! So, just add water to the tire and a box grows in it's place? That's awesome! Can't wait to see what you have designed and Lou has built.
You drive an LMTV 2400 miles and the only thing that broke was the grease gun? That’s what’s up! Also, what ever he did for sound insulation worked extremely well.
Awesome first drive! Ballsy to go that far but with all the work you did the truck is super reliable. I talk to my grease gun the same way. Once you get the box on and built out the additional weight will hold you at 45-48 mph on those 6% grades....
Thank you. Every time I start to think one of these might be a good idea as a daily, I come back here to think about the maintenance schedule, and the cost of fuel and tires.
Nice build Chad, I got about the same MPG from Utah to Montreal last week. Could you give me the link to that digital GPS speedo with the elevation display you have on your truck? Looks cool wouldn't mind getting one for mine. Thanks
I’m planning on getting a M1078 as a second vehicle and as a fun weekend rider if the height limit bars are open at my job at fedex I’ll drive it to work sometimes I’m getting a Nissan Titan first then a Utv then I’ll be going on gov planet to get my M1078 get an antique tag for it because I’ll be getting a 1990s model then my insurance will be lower on it I might do a few long trips in it just for kicks it’ll be one fun ride maybe I’ll take our dogs for a ride in it can’t wait to get one they are so cool
Congratulations on your first voyage! You are just up the road from me. HF grease guns are garbage. Toss it. I did. Had a cordless Lincoln. Meh.... This is what you want: Alemite 500-E Grease Gun, Develops up to 10,000 psi, Delivery 1 oz./21 Strokes, 16 oz. Bulk or 14 oz. Cartridge, with 18" Hose & Coupler, 3-Way Loading Available on Amazon.
Do you have any idea if the 1997 Stewart and Stevenson has a K26 relay. We’re missing that on the army truck. Would you know if there were updates on the 1997 Stewart and Stevenson regarding the relays? We’re missing a few
I we'll be buying my stewart snd Stevenson truck shortly in the next few months. I ran across a company that is installing air rides on the cab do you feel this might be something necessary.
There is already air ride on the cabs. But the stock shock and bag combinations are prone to failure at this age. Which company are you looking at to do the air ride?
It’s quite comfortable once you replace the stock seats and as maneuverable as can be expected. I would not put wast oil in it. Some guys have run it, but I wouldn’t want to risk it.
Ok, I got typing and realized this wasn't going to fit in the comments section. so here is a link to the blog post it turned in to. brokeoverland.com/f/so-you-want-to-buy-an-lmtv
Do you plan on building the interior of the living space or is the manufacture of the box going to build everything. who did you choose for a box mfg. do they have a web page I'm interested
Also: 1- Wife is hilarious, you need more camera work from her. B- I know the LMTV camper was the star, I just can't help but love all the Samurai in the background. I'm a bit biased. Lastly- A Lincoln grease gun is $20, why would you Hazard Freight yourself?
hi just stumbled onto your video where was your truck refurbished am just starting to do research on getting a m1079 or m1083 great looking truck congrats
With the new seats, sound insulation, balanced drive shafts, balanced tires, and gears. 10 hours a day was quite present. I wouldn’t do it in a stock truck. We still need hearing protection when we have the windows down for a long time on the highway.
The tires I have are rated for 68MPH so I only drive 60 or 65. It’s less about the speed and more about the reduction in RPM. The truck will go over 75, but I would not recommend it. That said, Comfortable cruising at 60-65 vs peddle to the floor 55 with stock gears, 100% worth it to me.
The Goodyear tires I have on the truck are rated to 68mph. I’ve inadvertently had it to 75mph though. That is with the 3.07 gears. Stock 3.90 gears max speed is 60.
Can I get a bulk discount. :) With the sound deadening and new seats, it’s fairly comfortable. You do need earplugs when you roll the windows down though.
The only people who should be buying one of these, is someone who has there retirement fully funded, and a few hundred thousand left over. At 8 MPG's and a gross polluter, this clearly states that there is no global warming from the owners piont of few.

If Matt (@DemolitionRanch) gets an LMTV, he'll have to mount a .50 to it! Won't that be fun!
@@BrokeOverLandcould you help me find one? Been looking all over the web. I want one just like yours! It’s beautiful

We saw some storm chaser Riggs while we were at a rest stop. Those folks a little unhinged.
Love those shorts Chad takes for taking us on the journey, beautiful Husky
Good first run, looking forward to the box...
That was a great video. I think you need to include the wife In more of your videos the commentary was the best. A plus michelle
Can't wait to see it finished.
I figure u will fit out the box. Look forward to next video. 👍
You drive an LMTV 2400 miles and the only thing that broke was the grease gun? That’s what’s up!
Also, what ever he did for sound insulation worked extremely well.
was there a vid on the sound proofing? Can t recall
There are a couple of videos. The only change I would make at this point is using wool batting for the back wall rather than hard foam board.
Love this truck❤️
Oof even my Cummins powered freight-liner mail truck gets 10-12 mpg. But it doesn’t have the performance these have. Cool video. Love it. 👍🏻

Haha I’m glad I can be the canary in the coal mine for you. They really are excellent trucks though.
@@BrokeOverLand, I believe it! Just waaaay more rugged than I need for my town boy life. Can't be overcompensating with everything.
@@BrokeOverLand is the it really 1200 mile intervals for the drive shafts? Looking at these as a base for a camper, great videos
No, those where new drive shafts and I wanted to make sure they had plenty of lube.
Saw you stuck in traffic today! Vehicle looks great in the slow lane, lol
Very cool truck.
Awesome build! Subscribed!

This is the one I picked up.

Select the c-80 the “colors” drop down link is defaulting to the other model for some reason.
@@BrokeOverLand perfect thanks.
Hey I just saw your truck in Knoxville Tennessee hope you see my comments
Did you honk and wave? If so, I saw you too :)
WooooW ! Very nice keep it up

My dream truck
Congratulations on your first voyage! You are just up the road from me. HF grease guns are garbage.
Toss it. I did. Had a cordless Lincoln. Meh....

My Milwaukee M18 brushless/ cordless is bad ass compared to my old Lincoln 12v!
@@haroldphipps3457 yep had the 12 volt POS.
Yeah I wanted a small cheap gun for the trip that I wouldn’t care if it disappeared. It worked but I’ll be swapping it out for something better.

@@kroberts6583 huh?

Midwest Military
How comfortable is the ride , how maneuverable ? and can you run Black diesel in it ?
It’s quite comfortable once you replace the stock seats and as maneuverable as can be expected. I would not put wast oil in it. Some guys have run it, but I wouldn’t want to risk it.
@@BrokeOverLand Thanks !
Any tips on how I can buy a 1078 that’s running? Or can get rolling easily? Really want to buy one to go camping and build an off-road rig out of
Ok, I got typing and realized this wasn't going to fit in the comments section. so here is a link to the blog post it turned in to. brokeoverland.com/f/so-you-want-to-buy-an-lmtv
@@BrokeOverLand thank you so much!
Love the truck, not so keen on the mpg, but it goes hand in hand with what it’s designed for
you have a little sleeper, did not want to awitch driving while the other sleeps?
Awesome truck!! Where did you find the digital altimeter? Very nice setup...
I got it from Amazon. amzn.to/47D9l80
Do you plan on building the interior of the living space or is the manufacture of the box going to build everything. who did you choose for a box mfg. do they have a web page I'm interested
I will be building the box interior. Trax off grid is building the exterior, skin, and installing my windows and doors. Http://Traxoffgrid.com
how nice!!!! did you buy that new.
Yay! Payoff at last, great looking ride.
Also: 1- Wife is hilarious, you need more camera work from her. B- I know the LMTV camper was the star, I just can't help but love all the Samurai in the background. I'm a bit biased. Lastly- A Lincoln grease gun is $20, why would you Hazard Freight yourself?
HF Grease gun was a moment of weak..er.. cheapness.
Lol. My 1994 jeep grand Cherokee gets 8 mpg in gas. Yes I realize your diesel, but still. I can feel your feul pain. Haha
Are you running highway (307?) gears? Or the stock ones?
We are running 307’s
Thinking about a tractor like this to pull an equipment trailer. You think the power is there? Do they offer a higher horse power option?
The newer models have slightly higher HP then the older models. That said, they all have a towing capacity just over 10k.
hi just stumbled onto your video where was your truck refurbished am just starting to do research on getting a m1079 or m1083 great looking truck congrats
Unfortunately I’ve had to do all the refurbishing myself. If I was to do it again I’d buy one through Martin over at fmtvsales.com
There is also a place to do the brakes, which is also a good idea
Where do you refuel at regular gas stations?!?!?
This thing is awesome!
I have used regular gas stations. I mostly refuel at truck stops. The pumps are faster and I can use my EFS fuel card.
Oh yeah if those hf grease guns get warm at all they leak everywhere!
So...how was the ride? Did either of you get saddle sore or seasick?
The ride is surprisingly good with the new seats. We did 10 hours a day without any issues.
The army truck is M1081. Do you know which relays are essential?
Not off hand. But you can get the wording diagrams from www.steelsoldiers.com/forums/present-conflict-vehicles-tms.119/
Wiring…. Stupid auto correct.
Real LMTV drivers dont wear flip flops!
2:25 steel toed flip flops.
If you were to hook the pad ock the other way, that way if the padlock should become unlocked, you won't loosw the padlock
What’s it like to drive that far in one of these? Exhausting?
With the new seats, sound insulation, balanced drive shafts, balanced tires, and gears. 10 hours a day was quite present. I wouldn’t do it in a stock truck. We still need hearing protection when we have the windows down for a long time on the highway.
cool
Any news on how the new box for the truck is going?
Trax off grid is still working on it. I should be getting it back from his shop soon.
Where did this venture begin?
Probably Mid-life crisis. :) honestly I could do a whole video on how I came to this project.
for a broke one, all the things you done are quite expensive...anyway, this is the best 1078 so far...
100% agree. But “Going Broke Overland” is just too long of a title. :)
Nice!
What gearing do you have? “Stock” or upgraded, highway gearing?
Upgraded to the 3.07. Got them from Bryce Wasliak
What’s the max highway speed without the upgrade?
@@johnnymillz22 55 mabye 60 going downhill with a tail wind.
How fast is it with the hwy gears? Was it worth it and did you sacrifice a lot of power?
The tires I have are rated for 68MPH so I only drive 60 or 65. It’s less about the speed and more about the reduction in RPM. The truck will go over 75, but I would not recommend it. That said, Comfortable cruising at 60-65 vs peddle to the floor 55 with stock gears, 100% worth it to me.
Nice
Hows the maintenance ???
About the same as any commercial truck.
@@BrokeOverLand So 2-3x a F150? 5x or more like 10? Thanks again! Nice rig!!🇺🇸
Wth its sick ^3^
I would like to know what top speed is please?
The Goodyear tires I have on the truck are rated to 68mph. I’ve inadvertently had it to 75mph though. That is with the 3.07 gears. Stock 3.90 gears max speed is 60.
@@BrokeOverLand thank you for getting back to me
You should install a hooklift. Just trying to spread the word...
Wow, 2300 miles in that thing? Geez, glad you're young. I sell hearing aids and orthopedic equipment...
Can I get a bulk discount. :)
With the sound deadening and new seats, it’s fairly comfortable. You do need earplugs when you roll the windows down though.
I think I just saw your car on the road it said BrokeOverland
Yikes an LMTV isn't for those with low credit limits. By my count that's more than 900$ in fuel, something like 40 cents a mile.
When you added your turbo blanky, had you seen this? videoth-cam.com/video/FrFeaNGDnOk/w-d-xo.html
Did you use a PTP brand?
vlog yang mantap dan awesome! :D ;D
that's what she said
Cdo much?
Finally someone gets it in the correct order. :)
@@BrokeOverLand aahh
Thats haha
Haha
Lol
Когда же мы доживём,что машины белыми салфетками протерать.
you are finding out why you don't want to buy an use cheap tools. no to harbor fright junk.
Broke overland lol? This truck costs as much as some peoples entire rig lmao
And now you know why I’m broke. :)
The only people who should be buying one of these, is someone who has there retirement fully funded, and a few hundred thousand left over. At 8 MPG's and a gross polluter, this clearly states that there is no global warming from the owners piont of few.
How long is it before you get her back?
