Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
So close and yet so far!
Very close to fitting camping chairs in there! Now the mission is to find a slightly thinner camping chair that's between 18 and a half and 19 and a half inches wide or design my own damn chair made out of square tube!View attachment 913834
And the chair would become one with the truck! Kind of like how a viper fish male mates with the female. He bites into the side of her because he's like on 20th of her size, then he becomes absorbed and just becomes a little gonad lump on her side!as someone might had jokingly said "if it doesn't fit take a sledgehammer to it to make it FIT!", of course the permanent damage to both objects afterward might be a possible issue!
Chairs in one slot and tables in another!So close and yet so far!

Your just making a steel drawer you manually pull out and it rest on the existing frame work already there !Sure would be nice if Decked or other truck bed storage company had a drawer that would fit. They look like this but you could easily make them out of 3 or 4 in light guage angle ! 2 20 ft sticks

I would say that the weatherguard brand pick up bed long bed pull out drawers might fit https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai...wjriPb2-L-DAxUXj4kEHX17AUQQuxd6BQgBELYC&nis=8
Look like brand new ones? Those don't come cheap from what I can find but will probably be doing it eventually.I converted CARA (1998 M1079) from four to two batteries. Installed replacement MWM air dryer. New tires arrived today. I’m awaiting O-rings to service CTIS when I mount them.
They are brand new. CARA has four 2008 and one 2005 tires that appear brand new with whiskers and no evidence of dry rot; however, I do not feel safe riding on them. The price of the new tires is less than my funeral would cost.Lo

That's some interesting math there, Bryteayes!They are brand new. CARA has four 2008 and one 2005 tires that appear brand new with whiskers and no evidence of dry rot; however, I do not feel safe riding on them. The price of the new tires is less than my funeral would cost.
You are absolutely correct. Appearance means nothing. The military will not mount anything over 7 years old and will not run anything over 10 years old except as a spare and even then it will be slated for replacement as soon as is practicable.They are brand new.

the solar question is better fitting to the RV camper conversion forum in hereApparently CARA has a zombie CTIS controller. The CTIS controller on CARA (1998 M1079) has always flashed all five lights as soon as the engine was started. Since I installed the MWM air dryer replacement the CTIS has come back to life and is working perfectly. I'm sure glad I didn't buy the new one I was looking at.
How are people mounting solar panels on M1079 boxes? Do you revnut them to the outer skins?
That's how I mounted mine.How are people mounting solar panels on M1079 boxes? Do you revnut them to the outer skins?
A little over $1K each plus tax.Well you managed to find tires made only a couple of weeks ago! Out of morbid (pun possibly intended) curiosity how much did they run you not including shipping?
