    HEMTT M984E1 Wrecker on the mend

    Damon got mine for $26,000 on eBay and had added $35-40K more into it when he sold it to me. I've since added another $10K and it's still not quite done. I still need to remake the engine "doghouse". We aren't cutting corners with this one and hence the high cost. I had some soldiers (HEMTT...

    HEMTT M984E1 Wrecker on the mend

    Look, I didn't have it made, it came with my truck! I do know who made it and with the MASIVE toys he has at his disposal, it was still difficult. This isn't about money, it was about talent and equipment that I don't, nor do many members have access to. I've considered a plasma table but a...

    HEMTT M984E1 Wrecker on the mend

    ER . . NOPE, a tubing bender will NOT bend that thickness of pipe, roll cages are made from thin wall tubing compared to that. They would fail pulling out a 60,000 lb loaded truck! You can make something that LOOKS like it, but not one that actually works for such a large and heavy vehicle.

    HEMTT M984E1 Wrecker on the mend

    Dave, I wasn't the one looking for the ground anchor, mine came with the purchase of the truck and was created by someone who would like to remain nameless. It was a difficult thing to make and involved a LOT of effort to become such a refined piece of engineering and construction. It could...

    HEMTT M984E1 Wrecker on the mend

    Hi Dave, Glad you got the old girl at home now. I get my Dello 100 40 at a local supplier that caters to the local fishing fleet, there are a lot of boats still using the old oil leakers (Detroits don't burn oil, they mark their territory). You have a spare side recovery winch? I want one if...
