Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Hopefully there won't be any movement that will wallow the holes out and they should be protected for the most part. I don't like doing anything to a military vehicle that can't be "undone" if someone wants to restore it exactly as it came out somewhere down the line. I think these holes are small enough they can be easily filled if needed.
It looks great; what's not to like?

I never would have thought it but it turned out to be extremely tight when I got the passenger side up. I had to wedge the front and back together then the only thing that would keep them in place were the screws. I better be happy with it as its staying there. Now on to the floor. yayIt looks great; what's not to like?
54* sounds plenty cool to me, but I'm guessing it isn't.
35-45° The biggest thing is fighting the heat coming in to keep the cab cool. 54° at the vent right now means the cab will stay in the mid-80s when it's around 90° outside. I'm hoping once I get the floor insulated so there isn't as much engine heat coming through that it will make it down in the mid-70s. Of course when October and November come around and the outside temps are only in the 80s then maybe it'll keep up better.
When in school I was told 35-45 is what you're looking for. All depends on outside temp and humity
I'm going to limit my driving (other than to get the trailer) to morning hours so I don't have to worry about it too much. I'll be leaving Thursday morning around 0430 so should have it nice and cool by the time I hit Ft Hood. As long as Murphy doesn't cause too many problems I should be on and off base by 1000 and home by 1400.
Just as an and FYI for everyone. At many autoparts places or ordered online at various sites, premade adapters can be purchased as a single body plug with the 7 on one side and 4 on opposite ($12? autozone), or in pigtail fashion like what mkcoen made (25? autozone)
The problem is finding one for a 7 pole/round pin connector locally (not to say they not out there) but none of the regular part stores even had round pin plugs thats why I had to go to a trailer supplier to get it. And I doubt you can get a pre-made one with an extra 12v lead coming off of it.
Figured you made your own because incorporating the extra lead for your camera source. Good plan. Good luck with the trip to go grab the trailer. Look forward to your write up on your finished camera install when you get back. Looks like it came with a real nice screen.
