Fixed typo in title Ken. I would suggest that it be titled HEMTT/PLS/MK48 instead of just HEMTT.

Hemtt stuff

We'll this was not "this week" but rather over the last 6 months
1. Took delivery
2. Upgraded to a fass fuel filter, and mrap air dryer
3. Installed new brakes and wheel bearings
4. Replaced all 9 tires with new Goodyear 1600 r20 AT3's

All of this was done with A&H recon ( vintage iron)
coming up will be the install of a hemtt crane assembly, and a lmtv bed!

And I just took delivery on a new old stock hemtt cab! Still has new car smell

Not this week, but we did use our HEMTT M985 to raise the trusses on a barn that I/We built for my wife and her mom for their gardening barn.
Nice building and a good use of the HEMTT to raise the trusses... If you ever want to remove it, the HEMTT can also raze the trusses!

You've got some hoses to replace, eh? I saw the hydraulic pee-stream in a few of the pics of yours. Mine will need hoses too, the site manager said my "crane has leaky hoses" but he described them as seepage, not squirtage.

I named my friends M977 Squirt after a coolant leak during recovery and the crane also has a leak.
His M929 from out of Louisiana has oxidation everywhere so his handle is Rusty, and Rusty likes huffing ether in the cold...

More photos of that mod/install. I'd like to do this too.

Very nice installation, I'm curious what the advantages are... Isn't the MRAP air dryer still a desiccant dryer? You can get a HEMTT air dryer kit for like $20. What does 'fass' mean, and what makes those fuel filters better? It's not like the Parker/Racor unit on the HEMTT uses expensive or hard to get filters.
