Hey there Highway - The weather was as good as the roll of the dice could get you. We had quite the turnout of visitors including TACOM employees as well as the general public. There were quite a few WW2 Veterans that I got a chance to talk to (mostly listen to). Ended up having a pretty...

Cool Chuck - finally get to meet you. The wife and I will be bringing the M1074 and possibly the M1076 Trailer. This is the weekend after the TACOM show in Warren, so have to see how much energy I have left and how far behind on work I am! Dave.

Hey Guys - the Warren Veterans Weekend / TACOM show is this coming weekend (July 27/28th). Entry for visitors and participants is free. Participants need to register themselves/their vehicles with the Detroit Arsenal of Democracy Museum and Motor Pool(the organizers of the MV portion of the...

Hey Derrick, are you registered to attend the Warren Tacom show? it's only a week away! hope you can make it. Dave

First off, I would like to say thanks to all of you guys who are working so hard to try to get the logistics of this multi-faceted heavy-haul for all of the SSers who dove in on one of these. This thread sure has impressed me. Second, I am one of the winners of one of the Florida complete...

Just thought I would bump this thread up for a reminder to those who might be making plans. Hope to see a few SSers there!

Thanks, MWMULES

The HMTT has New Shoes! Well, the Heavy Tire Shop in Jackson, MI, finally got the tires all changed out on the 5-Ton HMTT Prototype. Not complaining or anything, but I bet it took longer than they thought it would. They told me they had to use one of their boom trucks to break the old tires'...

Hey Scooter - Don't be sorry - that tractor looks like a rig that can give an Oshkosh LVS (basically an articulated HEMTT) a run for the money! Actually, for that rig, 4 gallons per hour doesn't sound too bad - in relative terms, in a road rig @ 60 mph would be 15 MPG - not bad considering a...

Probably not with what the Gov. pay for them (can you imagine the fallout if the guys started getting into accidents because of the distortion in the glass - heads would roll !). I'll keep your windshield in my prayers!

Hey Scooter - Believe it or not, all of our Oshkosh units came off of GL - they kind of sneak up on everyone one at a time or so. For more pictures, there is a couple of threads I put on here with pictures. I'm getting old so - do a search for PLS or M1074 and it should pop up. On a side...

OOOOOOO - very cool Derrick! Havn't seen one installed before - gonna be cool! Just on a side note - If you pick up a rock and get a chip in that windshield............will the "fix-a-chip" glass epoxy guys work on it !!!! Just kidding - it probably won't chip easily in the first place! Cyclops...

I hate to say it, Ron, but you are probably right. If someone makes "the trip" to preview an item, it probably is not much different an investment of time and money as making "the trip" to pick up an item that was won. If you make the trip to preview an item (suggested by GL) and decide not to...

Hey Scooter - Ya - it was a really tough decision to have to make - but just leaving them sit is worse on them. And Hey - really like your avatar and your "go big or go home".

The wife and I finally got tired of all of the falling branches (sometimes large - some of the trees were 2.5-3 feet diameter and 70 feet tall) from quite a few of the trees around our pond that have not been doing well for the last 5 years or so. There is a really nice guy in the area with a...

These are very much like the ones on the original HEMTT Cab Steps. For what they are, they work pretty good. They just have a tendency to "push under" when you are trying to pull yourself up onto/into the truck (I think the reason they changed them on the later HEMTT's). But their simplicity...

Looks like an awesome show, guys. A lot of work went into putting this one together - no doubt about it. Thanks for all of the pictures for those of us who can't make it.

Just a bump to see if I can get them home before the Veterans Weekend (TACOM) Show. Anybody going down and back with some room? Appreciate any help.

Hey Derrick - You in for the Air Show? The parade is on my B-Day - what a kick that would be!!

and they didn't even claim "ran when parked"..........
