Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Great job and if you decided to make them, even just the 'shell' so people could do the inside themselves I would be interested.I have passed on the compliments to the two fabricators. They actually did bring up the idea of selling them. So maybe.....
Now they are eyeing the M1010, so I better hide the keys to it. These guys are very innovative and love to make things out of metal.
Thanks for the kind words!

Those are aluminum, right?Nice....I saw several went up in Pennsylvania.
Yea, at least partly Al, like the 1101/1102. They also look a bit narrower but not sure. They went rather high priced (not compared to retail). Many had the wrapping on what appears to be a tool box, so they appear new, not used.Those are aluminum, right?
I paid $501 plus fee and tax. No way that I will pay $11,900 plus shipping. The military paid $15,000 based on the sticker on it.
It's all pass-through, Brother:I paid $501 plus fee and tax. No way that I will pay $11,900 plus shipping. The military paid $15,000 based on the sticker on it.
The plate labels as Schutt M1102.Thought he meant the trailer...but that's a really nice tank, insulated and stainless! I don't think we're supposed to link active ebay items.
I was wishing for a trailer like yours and watched them go higher than I wanted to pay. It looks really nice and appears smaller than the 1102. Does it have a number designation or does it say "1102 Chassis Trailer"? I don't recall GP having a model number on them.
Be careful of the slosh effect if the tank isn't full. Not sure if them tanks have baffles to reduce the slosh effect or not.I can put 500 gallons of water while it sit at home. I don't think it can carry 500 gallons of water and tow since M1102 rates as 4,200lbs. 1 gallon of water weight 8lbs so 500 x 8 = 4,000lbs. So the total will be 4,000 + 1,400 (trailer) + 500 (tank) = 5,900. It is 5,900 - 4,200 = 1,700lbs over the trailer rate. The water tank on M1102 can carry only 300 gallons of water. I don't intend to tow water anyway except to help people during disaster.
I had the privilege of a m105 with a 500 gallon bladder roll on it side for me. Even with 300 gallon, those m 1101/2 sit high. The m149 have a lower cradle in the frame to lower the center of gravity on those. Just be careful!Be careful of the slosh effect if the tank isn't full. Not sure if them tanks have baffles to reduce the slosh effect or not.
Well actually it's on the credit plan....with interest. Almost all US money is created by loaning money (issuing bonds and such)....and our borrowing to buy all this stuff carries the cost of money....interest. Not only did we as taxpayers put that 15k on the credit card....by now we've got interest accumulating, added to the principle.It's all pass-through, Brother:
- The "military" is you and me
We're the taxpayers that provide ALL the funding for "the military".
This months American Hunter magazine (NRA) has an article about "base camp" trailers.Just about finished with the camper. The idea was to keep it looking like a regular trailer from the outside. The generator cover has been painted green.
