That truck looks great!

Accessorizing

Got some accessories to display with the HEMTT: 2-12 tube 2.75" rocket transport racks. Each tube holds 4 and so I have one full tube, all I need for display. Just the kind of cargo this truck was meant to haul. Even the same year of manufacture as the truck. For shows we'll have one unloaded and on the ground, with the crane above.

those rocket transport racks look sweet

Thanks, now I just need the pods and a Cobra gunship to finish the display . . . I wish!

 

[robr]

the pods not so hard the Cobra may be a challenge lol

Get some Hellfire rocket crates, 30mm crates, and your well on your way to doing a FARP impression.. Dont forget to add the smell of JP-8...

If you could find some MLRS 6-packs, they would look perfect.

Beautiful work, Stuart! I think I may need to start taking lessons from you.
The cranes don't seem to park dead level so I wouldn't sweat it.
Someday, those high sides and tailgate just may deflect a tree branch that otherwise would have taken out a hydraulic hose or spun the crane on it's turntable enough to do some real damage.
Insist that they're part of a Damage Prevention MWO.

I still have quite a few of the green aluminum missile cases to round out your display.

I like my trucks to be green. After looking at your photos, now I'm green! (with envy). Dang you got nice toys. Which ones are you taking to the July rally? I may have to bring an extra memory card for the camera, as mine gets fuzzy!

We thought about that but decided that they take up too much darn room. We still need the truck to haul our camping stuff for the larger events.

I'm not in your league Leonard, at least not yet. Since they are all made out 1/8 aluminum, I don't think they will be protecting anything. Honestly they are just for looks and to keep the kids from falling out.

I was a bad boy yesterday, I forgot to tighten the lock nut on my heavy duty rivnut puller and the stop backed out, making it pull too far. Later when pulling 1/4-20 stainless rivnuts, I streched and broke the mandrel I was getting a lot done too . . .

Ahh, we live and learn.
I'll show you Mount Bad-idea when you're in town. It's a mountain of first, second and third attempts out back of the shop. But I'm sure learning what doesn't work.

YEAH, new shoes today! 9 new, never on the ground Michelin XZL 16.00 tires. Now I just have to figure out where to store 4000 lb. of tires . . .

 

[velociT]

I'll be in the bathroom...

 

[Stalwart]

I'll be in the bathroom...

Don't forget to wipe

 

[Stan Leschert]

WOW! Envy counted in, I'm now greener than your truck!

Haha, had to replace those 90%'s right?

Truck looks awesome, love seeing the updates.
