Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I won't give you any guff about you standing on a slung load. We did it all the time in the Marine Corps and the Air Force. Of course slightly different load tests and procedures to include duration, weight, etc. Point is you tested it, it works. Thank you for doing it, now I have an alternate for lifting some of my medium sized stuff. I can't give give someone a ration of pooh for doing something I did under slightly different circumstances. And nope, no pictures...if there were I might have retired at a much lower grade.Here are the pictures.... Using only 1 of the links to lift my 350-400lb atv.
pic1- the atv suspended in the air
pic2- a close up of the link
pic3- an even more close up shot WITH ME STANDING ON THE ATV (adding another 170lb)
pic4- which hook did I use for the test?
Now, every one is going to complain about me stand on the suspended load. Well get over yourself, it was only hanging a few inches off the ground.
One link handled 520-570lbs without bending. I can only assume that using 2 of these to lift 100lb, is definitely overkill.
Modify the brackets to clear the height of the glass.I was just playing around with them on the m936 since I dont have the m931 in my possession yet. But they will be going on the m931 when i get it. The only issue I have is that the windows don't roll down far enough so I might have to do some trimming on the windows so they will roll down farther. (they stick out above the door a little bit and I dont want the mounts resting on the glass frame)
