    Don’t waste your time watching if you’re hoping to see inside. All they talk about is fuel tanks and tires. Eight months later, there is still NO part 2.

    While in the military my mos was 88 Mike .. transportation ... while in advanced individual training I signed up for an extender course on the hemmtt.. 3 addition weeks .. most fun I ever had in there .. sitting in Missouri clay /mud pit could barely see the very tops of the tires. I was waiting for the clear to come out onto the road as another convoy was passing thru I released my foot off the brake and at idle the beast began crawling forward .. we left there and took a river ford .. our trucks was equipped with the fording kit .. water was up on the side of the windows .. my battle buddy was a Navajo Indian and was making movements like he was paddling a canoe .. little did we know they had camera equipment with zoom lenses filming us and when we got back to class they showed us the videos .. instructors where even laughing so hard they had to stop and catch their breath .. awesome memories that will last a lifetime ..

    Having had the privilege of driving the HEMTT in the M1120 LHS configuration a fair amount, they're a real treat to operate. The A2 variant is a workhorse with the Detroit motor and 6-speed Allison, and felt good under heavy load, but it was a little slow to accelerate and boy howdy was the cab hot, loud and super cramped. The A4, on the other hand, was a beauty, a bonnie and a joy forever. The 6 cylinder CAT had a lot more get-up-and-go, the cab is so much quieter, has air conditioning and room enough for a couple bags and a cooler.
    There's really no way to describe the joy of becoming proficient with that vehicle. Eschewing all of the doctrinal safety business for a bit, being able to snatch a loaded flatrack and set it back down exactly where you want it to go, without anyone ever having to dismount, is immensely satisfying.

    I’m a motor transport operator in the Marine Corps and we use LVSR’s which are even bigger than the LVS (that’s what the army calls this truck in the video). But the LVSR has 10 wheels on it and the first and second axle wheels turn and the 4th and 5th axle turns as well. Also the reason these trucks don’t have locks on the doors is because we wouldn’t take these trucks into war with us, we have armored versions of these trucks that you can lock from the inside of the cab so no one can get in.

  • @promiscuouscrab4040
    @promiscuouscrab4040 4 года назад +26

    As intimidating as this vehicle is, it’s probably one of the best to work on because being a military vehicle it is designed to be repaired by pissed off 18 year olds who need to get it fixed fast in a combat environment.

  • @Mountain_Man
    @Mountain_Man 4 года назад +9

    When I was in the Marines my trained profession was driving the LVS version. The LVS version actually bends in the middle and allows the vehicle to turn around in unbelievably small areas.

    I had an acquaintance that had the first privately owned HEMTT in the US. Back when he purchased the truck, they were a restricted item, which meant that the truck was de-milled to government standard. It was a work of love doing a full restoration.
    There are three major problems with the truck though. First is the transmission used on early models didn't provide an overdrive gear, and secondly, the 8V92 Detroit (DripTroit) engine loves it's fuel and oil, averaging less than 5 miles per gallon, third, the truck rides very rough. This isn't so much an problem, but more a concern, Oshkosh Defense doesn't like to sell parts to civilians, so you get stuck purchasing from military surplus dealers.
    You have to install air conditioning, sound suppression and need windows in the lower portion of the doors and slanted floor to see what's around you. A lot of the floor windows are broken and it's pain to remove the brush guard to replace them.

    Durable, decent off road capabilities, surprisingly easy to drive from what I remember in this truck's original Army configurations. These trucks played a big role for resupply and refueling during the Gulf War for the liberation of Kuwait. Very cool conversion

    Seen a lot of MAN KAT overlanders so I was looking around if someone was crazy enough to convert TATRA 8x8 Kolos (or bigger models) to motorhome / post-apo zombie camper, but ended up here. Have to agree that truck is properly mad for that purpose and whatever he packed (and unfortunately we haven't seen) into the camper part, there will be no problem for the truck to carry it, unless you end up in some quick sand, deep slicky mud or vertical wall.

    I can't blame them for not knowing better, but just to clarify a couple of things...that winch absolutely has a max rating, they just need to find the proper manual.

    • @oregonnich
      @oregonnich 5 лет назад +1

      I worked there too for a year, had mixed feelings since they hired you part time so you got no benefits but worked you full time. That company is stuck in the past. Reasons why you don't see many locations with many employees anymore. I enjoyed helping people coming in and establishing relationships, even the person who needed a minor issue fixed so they would consider returning and buying tires but management only cared entirely about sales and not customer relationships.

    • @floydiandays
      @floydiandays 5 лет назад

      @@oregonnich That's sad to hear. I wonder if it went that way after Les Schwab died? I worked at the one in downtown Portland and it was a job I'll never forget. Taught me the right way to do sales instead of just pushing the most expensive tire. I made some great friends there!
