Hello Andy, will be electric winch.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Its all Perspective. That truck is big and intimidating. It sounds simple enough to me. But I have been assembling cranes and driving pile for 15 years. If you asked me to reprogram a computer " That's a lot of work no way man"Went to a mechanic and starting talking about install a new winch on the my M923 A2, the mechanic said will be a lot work, I think will not, he will only extend the frame and weld a plate underneath and do some wire work.
what do you think? Any ideas?
Heck, bigger stuff is easier to work on. Much easier to work on my 5 ton vs. my VW.Its all Perspective. That truck is big and intimidating. It sounds simple enough to me.

I'm making a winchmount for an 18k warn winch as we speak. My number is 314 534 8447. Text me and I'll send pics when I get it done. Probably late march.Hello Andy, will be electric winch.

I have the same seats coming at some point. Did you have to make any special brackets or just drill new holes?Finished the air ride seat install. View attachment 609266View attachment 609267
That's one of my projects as well. How'd it go? Any issues, tips and/or cautions?...

What, the drill bit?View attachment 609339We'll I've been working on my M939A2 off and on, and I've had trouble filling the two front tires as it takes 15 to 20 minutes to fill one tire from 20psi to 70. I went around to the fronts and decided to tear into it. As you can see in the picture this was hiding in the valve steam. You can't see it very well by looking into the steam but I caught a little bit of orange color. It took a drill bit and some drilling to get it removed and now it takes 5 mins to fill. This was one of my CTIS inflate and deflate problems I've been fighting since I got the truck.
I bought them at auction. I have one left that I will put in the classifieds. (I have one member looking at it now)Where did you get the seat? What did it set you you back? I like the tall back!
No I used 2"x 1/8 flat stock under the rails, and drilled four new holes. I will be changing the set up though. I don't believe the mounting points though the floor will be strong enough for a front impact. Even with the flat stock and 3" washers underneath. I'm going to do like other members and use the large stock flat plate and weld C channel to it. That way you can use the stock mounting points.I have the same seats coming at some point. Did you have to make any special brackets or just drill new holes?
For the switch plate use aluminum. I had some steel stock on hand. So that's what I used. (Took forever cutting out the small box, drill and taping all the holes) That location works real well. Just test fit for CTIS box plug clearance. (I have mine off because I don't use it)That's one of my projects as well. How'd it go? Any issues, tips and/or cautions?
That switch plate looks pretty nice mounted there!
