    Road trip in a HET, CA to MT.

    Awesome, thanks for the offer. There is one thing...she is a little lonely so maybe you could acquire a HET so they could play together:D

    Road trip in a HET, CA to MT.

    Yeah, expensive fuel bill for that trip but it bought great memories. Plus the HET is awesome and fun to drive. Believe me, I've spent more money way less important things. I think that fuel stop was in Utah. Really wish diesel had dropped more...(so does my Visa card).

    mk48 night mare

    I'd like to get my hands on TM 2320-10/11 Supplement 1 but it seems elusive. Anyone have any leads or is it time to call the Oshkosh 1.800 number.

    Here is one of the smaller fill ups. A couple pics from the chase vehicle. Here are a couple vehicles to give the M1070 size perspective. The MK14 trailer beside the HET.

    Road trip in a HET, CA to MT.

    Thanks. Not sure on the mileage. I decided it might be better not to keep track but it couldn't have been pretty. One (very) rough estimate put it around 3 MPG so I decided to stop there. It's an awesome rig to drive and driving was still cheaper than having it shipped.

    Here are a few pictures from the trip. The M1070 sits pretty high and it's an interesting feeling looking down into the cabs of big rigs.

    The trailer was in a little bit of a tight spot so we figured it was a good excuse to play with err... verify the winches work. The M1070 has 3 winches, 2 - 55,00 lbs main winches and a 3,000 lbs winch. The small winch is used for paying out the big winch as the line gets heavy pretty quick...

    Good eye - I got it from him a few weeks before the recovery.

    Road trip in a HET, CA to MT.

    I also scored a MK14 trailer which I decided to tow for the trip. It took a while to get it rigged up, especially the airlines (which were a challenge since the MK14 isn’t really a trailer) but thanks to M920, we got them working. Member M920 fabricated the tow bar attachment. It's hard to see...

    In the 1000 mile trip, I only passed one vehicle - lol. It was passing in slow motion.

    The truck will hibernate for the winter in Montana while I head back to Alaska. I'm not sure I'm up for the 2200 mile trip to Alaska and I know my VISA wouldn't be happy about it.

    Road trip in a HET, CA to MT.

    I have always wanted a HET since I first laid eyes on them and was excited when they started being surplused. The prices of the M1070’s kept dropping and dropping and I figured I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. I decided to sell some other toys (this thread helped push me over the edge -...
