My friend " hope you like it" is understatement. That is one incredible work your doing. Btw, where did you get all those nuts/bolts that are all over this thing?

So it's probably too late, but what about this one (the truck is a M984A4 wrecker) ? :

the air conditioner is the little box left from the engine, this is the air conditioner box for all CPK cabs and 'bosnia-add on armor' cabs. Maybe electrical power units?

Hi pascal, on my pc it doesn't

This looks like an A4 Version.

I have found a little bit time to build on my HEMTT. After a fine rub i glued the doors on the Cab. Then i make 4 of the last six segment of the armorplates, the backwall plates and the undersideplates, tomorrow i scratched the other two.

here are the pics, like in the book:


here with the o-gpk turret, can i use to this kombination or not?


I build to the v-shaped center blast deflector, the original doesn't have, but i complement it. More protection for my HEMTT


I decide to build a 'mix-HEMTT', the older versions have a winch placed at the right side of the frame,

and the newer versions have a bigger winch on the sparetyre plate behind the engine,


I see in the book that the M983 have a other version of suspension, not like the older versions. My HEMTT get the older suspension, but the newer winch type, i like this kombi more. Also this version of M983 doesn't exist.

And i will mount this type of fueltank protection:


Can give me anyone please a name of this protection?


The photo of the hemett with the protected fuel tank is the m984 recovery vehicle

We know that this is a M984A4 Wrecker. But we didn't know the name of the tank protection?
