    My HET project

    I forgot, everyone who's been in one of these trucks know the cover plates on top of the console aren't the strongest. I made new thicker cover plates with a frame. They will hold my weight sitting on them. I also made new center dash plates, I did not want to cut the factory one up. There is a...

    My HET project

    Well, the weather has been getting a little nicer here in West Virgiia and it makes me want to do things to my trucks. This is a project I had thought about for a month or so for my M1070. I wanted to add a stereo, CB and (I dont know why but) a scanner. I had a new Clarion marine stereo laying...

    just a question?

    My HET is a beast. No matter which direction you choose you won't go wrong. I don't believe there is good or bad choice if acquiring for fun and entertainment. Some more $$$$ than others for maintenance and driving. If you're going to work one, well that I can't help you with. Lol. My LMTV, MK48...

    M1070 HET + M1000 Trailer: Las Vegas, NV

    I've been told there are a couple here in West Virginia that are being used by towing/recovery companies. I'm trying to get pictures from the guys that told me about them. I'm told one had the winch platform and winches moved to the rear of the truck. I want to see that. Dave

    New guy from Louisville, Ky

    Welcome from WV. It is a disease! I got my first mv in May last year (LMTV) then had 2nd in September (MK48 LVS) and 3rd in December (M1070 HET) and 3 Hummer trailers, an M105 and an M1082 LMTV trailer in between. Get ready, it is a costly habit! Dave

    Mini Soldering Torch, Recomendations?

    Out of all the ones I've tried this radio shack mini is the one I use. I've used them for about 15 years. They last a good long time an heat up quick. I dropped one at a mine onetime off a rock truck and it cracked the seal where the tank and housing meet. 15' drop. I don't use them as much as I...

    M923A2 1993 model

    Assumption is the mother of all f¥£€ ups. Have it transported. You'll be happier in the long run. There are so many things that could go wrong. No reason to get anyone hurt. Excitement is unmeasurable, but an unknown heavy truck with drained fluids could be a variety of things. Just my 2 cents...

    "How to get a HET in life..." - M1070 Acquisition thread

    I've read through but didn't see a comment stating different, you show the two filters above the fuel tank being fuel and engine oil filter. On mine they are fuel and transmission filter with engine oil filter being tucked in a tight cranny on the passenger side of the engine. Am I incorrect? I...

    M1101 from Schutt Industries

    Mine is a Schutt trailer, M1102. The markers were LED, 12 or 24 volt. The tail and brake lights were incandescent. I went to Walmart and bought replacement LED bulbs for them and work fine. Dave

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I've considered the shorter lentgh on my HET. I don't plan on adding a trailer anytime soon and the narrower back roads here have them continuously being beat by limbs. I had not thought of using a spare set and cutting them down. Thanks, Dave
