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).
Here is one of the smaller fill ups.

Here are a couple vehicles to give the M1070 size perspective.

Thanks.

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 -...
Hello,
I need a tow bar transported from Chama, New Mexico to 30mins south of Barstow, California. It can be attached to a pallet and weighs between 250-300lbs. If anyone is heading that way, it would be a great help. I am willing to pay for your services. Thanks!
