Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Those are two of my favorite colors too. I couldn't get a new fuel hose made today, but I got the filters mounted anyways. I had to get an adapter to fit the original fittings, and these adapters increased the width by another 2 inches. I can see new adapters in the future to reduce the overall width. Besides that, the filters look pretty good mounted.My two favorite colors...OD Green and Cat Yellow.
Nice work.
You probably need to turn your turnstop bolts as well. If you get off in uneven terrain and try to turn with those 16.00s it could easily shove the tire back into those. It will mean more turning radius needed.Those are two of my favorite colors too. I couldn't get a new fuel hose made today, but I got the filters mounted anyways.

I'll have to come up with a rock shield too.
My Father and were just talking about that. I was thinking of maybe switching down a tire size or two. Maybe down to the 14.00r20's, or maybe down to 395/85R20 Michelin XZL's. Anyways that won't be happening anytime soon unless I come across a VEERY good deal on some tires, and or wheels.You probably need to turn your turnstop bolts as well.

395 XZL's on wheels brand new are in New Boston, TX for $250 each ready to bolt on. 14.00s are getting harder to come by.My Father and were just talking about that.

I'm happy with the set I bought from you.395 XZL's on wheels brand new are in New Boston, TX for $250 each ready to bolt on. 14.00s are getting harder to come by.
I have 13 wheels and 14 tires (all of them 14's) Two tires are 100%, never touched dirt, and 12 tires @ 75-85% - PM me if you want them.My Father and were just talking about that.

I ended up getting a new drain plug too. Mine was worn out! It took a pneumatic impact, a 2 foot long pipe wrench, and a propane torch to take mine out when I changed the oil. On the plus side, I learned some new curse words when the plug came out (thankx to the impact). LOL My Father was laying underneath with the impact when the plug broke free and gave him an oil bath. I was on the side with the pipe wrench trying to put some leverage to it. I just couldn't get the catch tank under the ol' NHC 250 in time. LOLReplaced my air compressor finally. Fixed some air and coolant lines. Changed my oil and replaced the drain plug with a real one. I got tired of the 1/2" drive plug. Went ahead and replaced my alternator since Clint is so persistent.
Best thing for a catch pan is a big tub tote with rope handles. At wally world for 6$ they are like 30gal size.I ended up getting a new drain plug too. Mine was worn out!

My catch tank is a 7.75 gallon pony keg with a very large funnel. It used to be a fuel cell for a sand rail. It's what I had on hand so I didn't have to spend any extra money, but it was still funny to me when the plug popped out. It happened Soooo fast, and A LOT of oil poured out on him.

People just love to see a big 5 ton up close. They touch the tires, and the paint and everything. I took mine to Napa yesterday and looked outside and there was a group of guys in their 50's getting their picture taken touching the tires. (And they are still '14's!) what will they do when I put 16's on it?!?!
