Finished with my radiator today. Doesn't appear to be leaking so far, even with the subpar flare I did on the transmission line that I cut. We'll see if that holds after a few thermal cycles.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Standard gearing??????Took A trip to Vegas in my 1009 85+ most of the way except of course the hills total of a 5 Hour Drive from Phoenix. Took a four-day rifle class with my two nephews and ran into fellow steel soldier" treadlight "at a class at front sight in Pahrump Nevada. Drove back to Phoenix same speed and she loved it. I was really surprised and impressed with how well it drove that fast I never topped 3100 RPM but I don't know how accurate my speedometer is. Tachometer is a tiny tach. Average miles per gallon was 15 for the trip I was very surprised at that

Point "B" may be calling, and I will be there. Have chains for 5-ton this year. Slipped up on getting them for 37" HMMWV tires for the CUCV. While focusing so much on getting ready, I failed to get these put away for the Winter. Couldn't drive the car to it's Winter "nest" because the state felt they had to salt the roads already when we got 1/2" of snow a week ago. Now it's raining and cleaning the roads so I can finish that task on the next sunny day.

Corporate does and it is under my care at work. i dare not haul CUCV's on it. Only chassis wrecked bodies and scrap. And a good friend of mine has several from a single car to a 4 car. So I have good access to one. Why do you need something?
Pure stock, 31 inch tires, flat or down hill (m1009 with 3.08 gears).... she slows down to 45 when climbing a grade. Engine noise is not appreciably louder anything over 2700 rpm. I used to be afraid to push her over 65 but she does great at high speed. Speedometer was past 85 and hitting the odometer part of the gauge.Standard gearing??????
Those have been illegal on this side of the Divide for decades (chewed up the roads).I put the studded snow tires on my M1009 today. The BFGs on the aluminum wheels have a larger bore hole so the disk that holds the spare tire to the mount in the bed is too small. I'll have to rig something up.

Those are legal out your way?
Yes. The government vehicles on base have been running them for almost a month now.Those have been illegal on this side of the Divide for decades (chewed up the roads).

What you guys back there don't have to deal with much is "Black Ice" . Out here it is a daily occurrence in winter. The sun comes up and thaws the ground. The rainy sleet comes down and then the sun goes down and everything freezes again until the sun comes back up and thaws it all again. You cannot see Black Ice, only feel it when your vehicle looses all contact with the road ! It's especially dangerous on overpasses and country roads that don't get the deicers put on them.Yes.
