I really appreciate it Joe, I am going to give Gary or Dennis a call tomorrow. Thanks for thinking about that, I forgot all about it!

Okay guys - heres the latest. I still have much to do, but I have started driving it a bit. I took it to the tire shop to have them torque all the lugnuts and bring the air up to 80 in all tires, so I can monitor them for leaks. I am still working on the enigne covers, and I am still...

Also the glovebox.... Never a problem.

You always have to say that! Anyone that's ever been married knows that! I'd like a look at some of the early pics too, Leonard. I feel like an uncle to the Baby-Hemtt, but I've never seen the baby pictures! I bet you carry a few in your wallet, don't you?

Thanks for the compliments. I will have the tires mounted up and on the truck in a week or two and then I can pull it out of the garage and get some good side shots. I still have to wire up the rear clearance lights, and put all the reflectors and dataplates on. I also have a little...

Here's some from today

Okay guys - here's the latest. I was fortunate to have a couple extra days of decent weather here before the winter really starts showing itself. Yesterday i was able to throw the last 3 gallons of green on the truck where it was needed (undercarriage mostly). I still had some energy left...

I wouldn't say thay are high maintenance any more then any other military truck. Of course you have to expect to do the basic fluid changes and such as soon as you get one just so you know what you're dealing with, but otherwise they are pretty straightforward. Just about every service or...

So does anyone know about the laws in Washington State? Honestly, I don't have a CDL and I am not about to get one, regardless. I have driven my Deuce, 5-ton, and HEMTT past more cops and gotten the thumbs up and a big smile I am not worried a bit. I did briefly look at the codes, and I...

Cool! One of these days I would love to build one of these up into a sweet trail rig. That's too clean to mess up though. Nice work - keep the pics coming!

work continues...

You know Leonard - when I step back and look at this with fresh eyes, it's really amazing that a private individual can do this level of workmanship. Forget my project. Yeah, it's a display of nit-picking detail that I'm very proud of, but it's basically gathering hard to find parts...

I can't see spending $3200 for something I can fabricate myself with metal and time. Besides, some things are more rewarding to build yourself. In the winter even with the heat out in the garage I find I like to spend my time in the house mostly, so this will be a good winter project.

I'm drooling.... Unfortunately I'd have to sell the truck to be able to afford the gun... Then I'd have to rig the MK19 on the roof of my 1992 Honda Accord. That might not look right... Thanks for the link, though. I can get a much better idea of what my construction plan is going...

new pics of the M66 gun ring installed. I just got my hands on a MK93 MOD2 recoiling machinegun mount for it. I will be rebuilding the mount, and over the winter will construct a metal MK19 grenade launcher replica to put on top!!! By the way, if anyone has any detailed dimensions of a MK19...

A very reputable source tells me that there is a M1070 HET in private ownership in the Southeast US right now. I would trade the hemtt in a minute to get my hands on one of those.....

MAN trucks begin life in Germany, right?

more pics to come soon. I still need to throw another couple gallons of green on it before I can start chalking out the black and brown. ...must hurry.... Weather is changing.... Almost time to start turning the heat on it the hemtt-house.... I don't want to have to paint with...

I WAS worried about it, but the friend of mine that was running the paint gun wasn't as concerned as I was. It was a complete accident that we forgot to check the tarp positions on some of them. Quark treated me right by being so patient waiting for so long for those wheels and tires to be...
