Unloaded her, ordered a lot of parts. I haven't fired her up since she got delivered as I'm waiting on the right fluids too.

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

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.

Congratulations on your new truck Ken! Awesome.

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

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...

 

[Coffey1]

Yes I have a hose taking a leak lol.
First thing on the fix list.

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.
