Wow! That is worth the drive for the view! Gorgeous country up there. What winch are you running? Hopefully not the hydraulic Mile Marker. They are getting hard to find.
10 rounds are plenty. I only have a couple of those high dollar mags. At $150 a piece. Barrett wants $1200 for their soft mounts. I fabbed that one up out of 3/8" plate. Might have $250 in the whole shooting match. Rock solid.
I have seen pictures of M2's pedestal mounted on the bed of an...
Agreed. But they excelled in that role. That is what makes these trucks unique. They can be an ambulance, gun truck, troop transport. Whatever the mission required. I ran M2's on a pedestal and Mark 19's on a turret in the sandbox. We never had all the uparmored stuff in my day. I...
Well I guess its a go. If Admin have issue, feel free to delete. Here is the Barrett mount and the small M2 pintle mount. These work awesome, and make it what they were designed to be GUN Trucks!
All,
I am wondering if posting the gun mounts and swing arms I fabricated for my 1123 is allowed on the forum? Maybe an Admin can respond? I spent many hours engineering and fabbing them up. It would be a shame to not share these gems! This is the only reference to posting these items on...
One other note. The old GM thermal cameras only display in white hot, and the resolution is not very good. They originally used a heads up display from the factory. It shined the video feed on the Cadillac windshield in front of the driver. Pretty cutting edge back in 2005. There are much...
Sorry for the late reply. Here are a couple pictures of the thermal. One of the display in my rig, and one of the back of the unit in the blue force tracker box.
Its a thermal camera out of a Cadillac. Modified a Blue Force Tracker mount to house the thermal. It works really well. I can put a privacy screen on the display and use it and the IR lights to drive with NODS. I am going to install the camera in a different location soon. I decided to go...
Also have a question for you guys. New to the forum and wondering what the rules are for posting pictures with some of my arsenal on here? I built a pintle mount for my M82 on the rack of the my M1123. I can't have a maw duece on it, but I still like having a 50 up there! Also like showing...
Almost finished my M1123 build. Its not totally original. I'm not a HMMWV purist. I build it how I want to, and enjoy it. Still need an Ibis Tek front bumper. Trying to find one that I don't need to sell my kidney's to purchase. May just fab one out of steel.
