Those look like led tail lights if so should have gotten them also.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
They aren't. I thought about taking them but decided not to worry about them.Those look like led tail lights if so should have gotten them also.
I thought that cable was already the same? What did you change? The connectors and covers are readily available from Mouser, if we could find the exact spec of the cable itself it would be easy for anyone to make their own brand new cable...Built the cable from one pulled out of an M977 that ran from rear to frt.

I chose a HEMTT because I was a little bit afraid of the MK48's articulation steering after reading about fatal accidents from unintended steering movements at speed. In hindsight, back in 2015 they were selling so cheap I regret not buying a MK48 or two... buying more HEMTTs too, but who could have predicted the demil code was going to change so soon?HEMTT or MK48. How did you answer that question?
Got the winch itself mounted a couple weeks ago and last Saturday (11/24) I got all the hydraulics plumbed and installed. Found out I was missing the front control cable bracket and need to make one before I can install the cable, but that is all that is left to do for the winch. I was able to test operation, just had to climb under truck to operate the directional valve and seems to function fine. The only drawback I have found on this winch is the inability to release the drum to free wheel out the cable, it is power in and power out.Began the winch installation on the HEMTT today. Got all 4 cable rollers installed with some help from a friend. Next week end I will try to mount the winch and start running hoses. Before I do the actual hydraulic connections I need a clean 55 gal. drum to drain the tank into. I will post more pictures as the work comes along.
