Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
That was actually @US6x4 lol! But I enjoy being included nonetheless less!@NebraskaFan, you are correct on the hood. Unfortunately my hood is caved in up next to the cab and actually has been rubbing a hole through the hood where the chain lift plates of the motor have been rubbing on it. I am guessing from a bunch of our great boys in camo were climbing up on the top of the rig for a picture!
I am OK with doing a clean looking hood scoop as from my view from the cab it would not block my view of any trial. As I have considered this I will either do an only remove what is needed "poke through", like what you see above where only the needed hood area will be cut to allow the hood to open or close easily and allow whatever flex is needed from the frame/motor, or a scoop that covers the ugly mess I make trying to hide my poor execution of the prior "poke through" attempt. LOL, Either way this is still on the shelf since I still need lockers and a few other mods first but is in my oncoming list.
Agreed! I am sure those washers are going to look more rusted than that exhaust manifold in no time.it would be super easy to replace one bolt at a time once you get the right size
Was it the upper or lower line that needed replacement?I had to cut the original tube off with a small tubing cutter to get it out from behind the other steering hydraulic line.
It was the "upper one" of the steering hydraulic lines for the power steering if your talking about where it ran along the cross frame member between the two frame rails. I have snipped a couple of screen shots of my purchase off of EBAY to help you see what I purchased to resolve the issue. I did consider just buying some parts to do a more sure "field repair" with the original hose but I figured replacing it would not hurt my pocket much and steering seems to be a very important part of this trucks performance!! LOL!Was it the upper or lower line that needed replacement?
That apache picture is awesome, looks like a fun time!I have all three of the generators working good now. Had to replace all the fuel lines on all of them and Vuala! Making noise and a bit of electricity!
Took one of the little guys with me out on our Utah MV outing over Feb 1-3. Was great! Should have taken a bunch of pics and vids of wheeling in the mud but I have no one to go out and stand in the sloppy mud to take pics while I drive. LOL
No biggie.
Found my nice new coolant filter is clogged already... LOL I am sure I will be going through a half dozen of those before they last very long.
Also had one of the Apaches being flown from our local boys pay us a visit. First time they came buy I could have underhanded them a candy bar!

Oh YA, doesn't everyone like a light stick of dynamite going off inches from their face for fun!View attachment 916663View attachment 916665
After watching these guys do dives and climbs and all kinds of maneuvers out in the open desert, it gave me some confidence that they could actually be quite dangerous to anything they didn't want to be nice to. Was cool to behold.That apache picture is awesome, looks like a fun time!
