Insane! Very cool.
That 4 door conversion looks much less complicated than I expected too.

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Will do. I recieved my Tekonsha P3 this week, so I will be installing it soon. I had a crew cab pickup recovery yesterday, so I took today off work too, to finish up on the camper, and hoefully spray some paint.make sure you show us how you set up the trailer brakes. I have a civy flatbed that i would like to be able to use behind my 5ton, and still have brakes.
I think it should be fine with the weight, I moved the axles back about 6", then with the added framing, water, and gear, it should be OK. But I will see once I get it on the road. I'd hate to add unusable weight, so maybe extra water capacity if need be.Great idea, but still looks the weight is very much backward (I also read the thread about this). Maybe a trick like farm tractors here do or used to do: put some weight on the bumper?
I like the sleeper - double cabin trick. Seeing this, maybe a next project would be convert a normal cargo bed (M52 or M812) to tractor. The longer wheelbase probably would give enough space to add the extended cab and still have the fifth wheel between the axles. Anybody ever did that?
No, I never got around to it. I ended up winterizing stuff, and getting ready for winter before I could finish the wiring. Plus I started another project, turning a old C60 I had, into a crew cab pickup, and it would fit in the garage, out of the weather.Bump. Did you have any luck with wiring the brake controller?
