I see, sorta. A HEMTT is not a cabover by the way, the engine is fully behind the cab and drives nothing like a cabover. The easiest is just to add a crane to a 5-ton as so many have done here. Please forgive me Leonard but I gotta share the custom battery box photos. He managed to use the...

I don't understand, are you gonna build a HEMTT if you can't buy one or are you going to build a custom 2 axle "Baby"? Unless you're VERY good, the forward control steering will end your project early. I'm serious, the number of steering/gear boxes, and the geometry to get it to work properly...

Thanks RGS but those links are to the thumbnails, not the pictures. How about a link to your folder in which they reside? I haven't seen "Baby" for about 18 months and Leonard himself in 6 months. He stopped by the Tower Park MV Meet to chat.

Nice one Mods., leave the snarky comment from the thieving one! :roll: If you're going to edit and redact comments, be constant and thorough. That includes this one of course.

Actually Jon, we were both planning to bring our HEMTTs to Tower Park but we've both decided to put it off for a year. His won't be ready, and mine isn't ready for a 1650 mile drive. Leonard does live very close, we were able to see the "baby" on our way home to Seattle last year.

Leonard, We were thinking about bringing your shocks to Tower Park, do you need one before then or measurements? S.

Yes Leonard, we all want to know! :jumpin:

He means yours Leonard, silly man!

HEY, somebody cut one of the front axles off my truck ;)

BEAUTIFUL Leonard, even the felt to help keep the grit out! Once that felt is packed with grease there will be no grit or water getting in there to gall that ball and socket. :D

We weren't professional, just careful and lucky! 4 chains plenty tight, checked often and speeds kept below 65 with slower speeds left for turns.

Nice going Leonard, that looks VERY professional! Regarding the socket ball ends, that seems to have been answered. I was my understanding too that you tightened until the spring binds slightly and then back off a bit to allow slight movement. Couldn't get right back to you in email, will...

During our visit to the Jones family, I had my wife play "Japanese Tourist". She took tons of photos of both "Baby" and Leonard's children. His attention to detail is AMAZING. The front engine mount does as I recall triple duty, mounting engine, radiator and rear cab mount. It looks to be a...

There is no doubt about it, Leonard is a crafty bugger :wink: I have quite a bit of his handy work here, on and yet to be added to the HEMTT. All his metal work I've seen to date looks like factory, production stuff. Yes, he's that good!:-D

AMAZING work Leonard! Nice work on the jack sockets, I have a friend looking for some but I might have to resort to crying and pouting till you make me some. :cry: ;-) Do you often go to Tower Park? My wife and I will be going next year but we haven't decided what to bring.
