So I'll try the combination of lowering tire pressure to XCountry + ditch the giant rear sway bar. Will report results.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
How would that even work? The 3116 + Allison + t-case weighs more than the Blazer.I wanted a donor vehicle with a 3116 + Allison to put in the CUCV Blazer.
Oddly enough, I've been rather shocked at the number of owners I've read about (mostly new of course) who simply didn't know about or didn't check the knob. My neck would scream bloody murder if those bags were down. LOLI'll check the cab airbags, thank you.
Heh, you know those trucks are pure shell and DOM tubing on top of independent front and four-link rears. More dunebuggy than truck.I have visions of a Dakar Rally truck clone.
I remember the first year we watched Dakar on cable.How would that even work? The 3116 + Allison + t-case weighs more than the Blazer.
The interweb has several examples of that combo in a chevy C10 and dodge p/u. With a torch + welder you can do anything you want.How would that even work? The 3116 + Allison + t-case weighs more than the Blazer.
Oh, I'd never race it. It would be a ~200 HP clone/poser/wannabe.Oddly enough, I've been rather shocked at the number of owners I've read about (mostly new of course) who simply didn't know about or didn't check the knob. My neck would scream bloody murder if those bags were down. LOL

Not to say they are not awesome, the LMTV offers a LOT of build potential. Sadly, "race" isn't on that list though....
If you want to really make an LMTV race/play truck get a cab, a fab shop, and about five million in sponsorship (US ARMY?). You'll want about 1500HP (me too)!

Have a link? I tried finding an example, but couldn't. I can't imagine what that even looks like - that drivetrain is 4' tall, and 10-12' long. Is there still room for people inside?The interweb has several examples of that combo in a chevy C10 and dodge p/u. With a torch + welder you can do anything you want.
The added length of the 6-cylinder configuration does intrude into the cab, in the examples I have seen on the interweb. Search "CAT 3208 in Chevy Pickup" to start.Have a link?
