Best of luck keep us updated...
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I plan to put the spent fluids into the empty containers after I fill the engine and transmission, and bring it all back with me... Possibly burn some of it on the trip home too, like the transmission oil if it's clean, but some clean new buckets with lids is an excellent idea.I see you have oil pans listed. You might want to also pick up a kiddy pool to catch fluids into... Just kidding but maybe not from watching my buddy drain his HEMTT.
Some empty 5 gallon buckets to start with would be good.
Have you identified where you are going to recycle the spent fluids?

p.s. Sorry for feeding the OCD.
The oil drains are high up there too, aren't they... Tough to do fluid changes on a windy day I bet. I got two buckets with lids today, but I did have two 6-gallon oil drain pans already... I'll probably use both, maybe leave some of the oil in the buckets rather than funnel it back into the jugs.The oil comes out of HEMTT like a fire hose. Two 5 gallon buckets at a minimum to drain her on the engine side, nearly the same on the transmission. Both fluids are the same coming from the military, so if you are burning one, you can burn the other!
I've kept all the PMs, and we'll have internet access, so I should be able to make contact if necessary... Thanks guys!Did you make a list of SS members Ph#s along the way that might be able to provide assistance? I will send a PM with my info. If you are close by and even need someone to pick up a part at a local known truck place let us know. I will send a pm with my info.
Thanks guys! We're almost to San Antonio, about 3/4 of the way and speeding along at 80+ mph... Legally! Thanks Texas, you're the best!

Enjoy it on the way there because you aren't doing that in the HEMTT on the way back. Also because it drops back to 75 around Kerrville. Safe travels.Thanks guys! We're almost to San Antonio, about 3/4 of the way and speeding along at 80+ mph... Legally! Thanks Texas, you're the best!
The HEMTT could only hit 80 it you dropped it from a c130.Let's see you do that in the HEMTT....
