That seems to loosely follow the 3 color NATO pattern, using grey as the base instead of 383 green, black for the brown, and white for the black. It doesn't match exactly, but is close except for a few places that are the wrong color or in the wrong place. It looks interesting, but obviously...

Hmmm, good call. I thought they were all taken but the M880 series uses M888 (4X4 Tactical Telephone Maintenance) and skips M889 to M890 (4X2 Cargo). The only reference to an M889 I can find is a mortar cartridge which it's common for vehicles and weapons to use the same number. Looks like...

Plain flat white is about the only thing used these days, and even then it is rare. You could take the 3 color NATO pattern and substitute grey for the brown, but it would not look close to authentic in my opinion and would be next to useless for actual concealment. Probably a better choice...

It's coming, or at least a CARC substitute. I don't want to paint it twice, so all the mechanicals have to be in place, then the sheetmetal fixes, body mods and possible exo-cage will have to be done and then I can lay down a nice 383 Green base and then add the black and brown camo touches in...

It's an electric, so no PTO needed. I did look into converting it to PTO but it was too expensive. Yes, the Braden is similar in application to the Ramsey H-8 winches. The design is a little different and the Braden is a bit more modular with a lot of different drive and gearbox...

Well I finally got a chance to get up to my friend's house and use his welder a bit and get my frame extensions and bumper put on and mount the winch. I ended up sticking the bumper out a bit more than I originally intended but the whole thing is made so that when I rework the core support and...

If I remember correctly, DMA bought that one on Ebay.

Thanks for the pics! I had no idea they were fabricated, they look just like the ones I have seen on other HEMTT models.

Those are factory steps for a HEMTT, one of two types. It seems that some HEMTT models had the lower step made with two large pieces of wire rope and other models all seem to have the hinged step with chain like DMA's.

DMA, could you get a few closeup pics of the folding step on the bottom of the cab the next time you are taking some pics? I want to fabricate something similar for my truck in the future and would like to see how those pivot and how they are made. Thanks in advance!

Stupid history note here. Fort Young was an actual fort built in 1754 in a location that is approximately on the corner of Main St. and Monroe Ave. in Covington, VA and was also known as "Dickinson's Fort". There was a replica rebuilt a few miles away next to I-64 using the original plans for...

Yup, it would be nice spare body parts for the Ramcharger and a nice new powerplant for under the hood. I certainly wouldn't get one for the suspension parts, lol.

You guys can have the GM stuff, I'll take the Cummins powered Dodge tug, lol.

Seems a waste of some good Dodge parts there...

I agree on the demonstration and video ideas. With two or three trucks in an open level area you could put on a great winch demonstration with little safety hazard. You could demonstrate different winch pulls like self recovery and recovery of another vehicle and the proper set up with a block...

Weld a chain to the frame and then to the bed to limit the dump. Couple that with the tailgate down and you have a nice slope that an ATV should handle easily. You could also use a disconnect link, hook or shackle in the chain to disconnect it if you haul something you need to dump normally.

RE: W400 Air Force Ambulance. got some paint on Lol, 19 years ago I was drooling over getting my Learner's Permit! But my first MV was a '67 M715 so my introduction to MVs was before the camouflage era to a certain extent. I love the vintage look of an authentic OD paint job with markings but...

More stuff coming together for the project. I've had this Braden electric worm drive winch for 14 years or so and it's never worked. The problem was the motor, which was corroded up and full of water. The brush holders were all broken and nothing I, or a nearby rebuilder, could find would...

RE: W400 Air Force Ambulance. got some paint on Military ambulances around the world use camouflage. They are actually pretty common:
