I'm 300 lbs and I'm not nervous about my fenders.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I'll just get nchittendon to volunteer to ride up there for awhile!I'm all in for testing by someone else. 300# of sandbags on a really bumpy road for a while?
I wondering about this...i thought the same with my camper. But the scale tells the truth. I'm at the limit with the front axle.About 300# with racks, I need the weight in front, too much in the rear already.
Are you talking about the back end of my M35A2C Deuce ?That is no s280 what the heck is it look like it would fit a m36.Al
Yes, 46 gallons under the bunk. But want more.Didn't you install a water tank inside the unit? I might be wrong, but like manufactured campers putting a water tank under a seat or cabinet, it would keep weight as low as possible.
I am also building up a 105 with an S250 but want extra on the truck as well. I don't have a winch so that weight can go towards the water. ( ?)I have heard of guys mounting jerry cans on mudflaps,in front of battery box and tool box but some of these can holders had a hinge just unstrap it remove can swing 180% and there you are.Just a thought 40 pounds a can on a fender x ? I feel this would be problematic,I have a m35a2cw/w and a 109 box on a m35 frame mated with 105 lunette that I drag behind me.Now that being said I know how overloaded that front end is and 395 x20 on top of that wow I smell a lot of front drive damage I hope I am wrong but I have finished my last beer so good luck to you sir .Al
Currently using the stock ladder brackets, will be incorporated into the rear deck once built.Into the wifes tater juice now but great build by the way stole some of your ideas but I would like to know how you mounted your boarding ladder.Al give me a call 337-477-1067 anybody got any ideas?Al
Trailer in the works as well. 105 with an S250.View attachment 574541View attachment 574542View attachment 574543I looked at the fenders and from what I see they will not hold that weight for long. They are only held in place by a few 5/16" bolts which go into 12 gauge sheetmetal. I know you think you have to much weight in the back, but have you actually weighed it yet ? I mounted my 2 cans to the rear mudflaps and they work great. I know you want 6 more then that though. Probably time you looked into a M105 trailer. A mule will haul a lot of weight, but eventually it will just set down and refuse to move. Have you asked your deuce about all this weight ? LOL ! Seriously though, think about a trailer.
how many persons do you plan for?Yes, 46 gallons under the bunk. But want more.
Normally 2, up to four. I do have several types of purification as well. Got to have enough safe water. I have over a thousand gallons here at home. Can't take with though.how many persons do you plan for?
In case of emergency , 46 gallons are enough. If you use it only for drinking....in regular use it's also enough. You can fill up everythere.
I see the problem in keeping more water drinkable...
