More details -
Added an antenna and tie down. I've always thought tied down antennas look cool on vehicles. You can also see the winch control station safety guard in its folded down "travel" mode here.
The truck came with a few plates bolted through the expanded metal grates on the winch platform. I wasn't sure exactly what they were supposed to be used for, but it turns out they are for a jerry can holder to be placed in about the position I have it here. It is actually for the decontamination kit, but it is just a regular jerry can holder, so I put a water can in it. I like this position because you can reach the water can from the ground.
Both sides of the truck have a 3/8" air connector with a boot to cover them when they are not in use. You can see it here below the battery box.
Light and Heavy Equipment Transporters. Here is my M1070 nose to nose with my M916. I haven't had them next to each other before today and it really reminds me of how large a truck the 916 is, even compared to the HET.

The only difference between men and boys is the size and price of their toys. Or so I've been told.
To wax nostalgic I remember as a young boy playing out in the back yard of my grandmother's house under a huge hickory tree. My brother and my buddies and I would play for hours with our Tonka trucks and earthmoving equipment.
Now I work on my trucks out in the yard under a huge oak tree. The more things change the more they stay the same.

I love the way you let them 'sniff' each other.....to see if they will get along ok....I do the same thing whenever I get a new dog....

Mine get along great. I was wondering about that plate with bolts. Have you looked at a putting in a laptop in its "holder". Im still kicking around the idea.

My truck doesn't have any mounts for anything inside, I've seen some have speakers and radio mounts, but I didn't get anything like that.

It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with you, and to see this magnificent beast in person. All I can say is WOW!

Took the HET to a few events this weekend -
Here you can see how the hood opens as well as the engine access ladder that stores behind the cab.
The HET draws a crowd!
