I like that pic....the palm trees in the back are making the cab of the FEMTT look like a 'Chia Pet'....lol

I don't know, its not my video. You can watch it on youtube by clicking on it, though.

Whoa!
I hadn't noticed a "limper sticker" on Soni's truck. Does this mean he gets preferred parking where ever there's one of those little blue/wheelchair signs?
(ABSOLUTELY NO OFFENSE intended toward anyone with a bona fide handicap.)
lolWhat "limper sticker?" I watched the walk around of both the 920 and the FEMMT without seeing one.

Are you referring to the video of the M916, or is there a video of the M920 (Soni's) that I missed?

I was referring to "disabled" in the video title only as Soni correctly surmised.
It was just a little spontaneous brain-fart I had.

One Year Of FEMTT....Now And Then.....
Well,
Since it has been just about a year to the day, that I started the FEMTT thread, I thought I'd post a couple of 'Anniversary' pics....
The CCC 'Donor' on that cold November day, that it arrived at "Skunk works" and still 'disguised' as an AM General M916....and the 'Oshkosh' FEMTT loaded on the same M870A1 now, one year later....

So what is the drive like, having a cab forward of the wheels on a machine designed to have the cab behind the wheels?

Lots of HARD work went into the rebuild , but the result was excellent ! what a great MV and a great Thread , thanks for the ride as they say . So Soni , what's NEXT ! LOL
I'm really happy with the way the truck turned out and I feel that the new cab and it's location are an improvement over the original configuration of the truck. It drives very well, is super quiet in the cab and it has a nice precise steering. It is a little bumpy on rough roads so to help with that, I'm going to install a couple of Bostrom air ride seats.

Yes, there is a video on the same channel with a M920 walk around. Both are simply amazing trucks. Had I not known about it prior, I never would be able to guess that Oshkosh didn`t actually make the FEMMT!

Soni, with the jobs you do with the truck and all the places I'm sure you have to maneuver around would it be worth making a setup like the HET's where the rear axle turns? I'm not saying add a 3rd axle to rear but instead replacing rear most one with a steering axle.
