Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
was editing my post as you responded. You might want to reread if you have not already.Just for grins.. I looked it up.. it's 8 feet 5 inches tall sitting on the tires. I will guess taking the axles out and you can save 10 to 16 inches... Interior height is 6.08 feet.. Tie down.. easy.. just fashion up u-bolt system.. One end over the trailer fame.. and use the bed as the plate and bolting point.
Profo = Not me.. lolJust get some aluminum, a spool gun, and get to making a camper like Profo. only took him about 4 months.
Completely respect your thoughts.an M1079 is 11.6 tall.. so if i come in at 11.5 to 12 feet total.. i think that's doable..
Most definitely... but then again if rolled or flopped most likely it would not be at speed as done in video.... but from traversing cattywampus trail at slow speeds or from slow travel slide on black ice and sudden drop of tire off road edge... or something to that effect.Looks lik Braun makes a strong box. Sounds like you got a good deal on one. Do you think the extra weight of your truck will have a negligible difference in a roll compared to that video?
I've been toying with similar ideas. A small box pop up tent camper mounted sideways at the front of the bed would also be interesting. When deployed, the slide out beds would extend out past the sides of the bed. You would also have a nice "porch" over the remaining portion of the bed.This camper for example is on CL for 2800 bucks.. 1 afternoon and a few adult beverages it's in the bed.. I'm just curious if anyone has gone this route as it's cheap.. fast.. and already built.. Maybe i am over simplifying it as an S280 build can take months or even years to complete and cost more than 2800..
Yeah that would be a sweet setup. Seen a Unimog 406 setup that way; granted no bed left over on back of a 406 in that scenario. Would be great way to go with an FMTV too. Put in a crane to raise/lower an ATV or two that sat in the remaining of the FMTV bed. Porch could be under the opened camper sides too.I've been toying with similar ideas.
