After cold-start problems I changed the GP-relay that happend to fail, problem solved.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
My latest work:
1. Replaced the forward most u-joint on the forward driveshaft.
2. Installed a good sized ammo can on the R rear wheel well. Perfect toolbox!
3. Installed a little bracket to hold my socket set firmly in place behind the left rear wheel well.
4. Braced up the rotting fender/battery tray from below.
5. Not done yet, but I have a new fire extinguisher to install just left of the
Got pics?
I'm out of town for a few days, but I'll take a few when I get home. I need to make a center console too.My latest work:

I bought mine from offroad design, 66.00 per side with everything. My lower bearings were toast, full of grime and rusted. It steers a lot better now and feel a lot more solid that before. I am not saying it is a fix all but it helped mine out. The hardest part is getting out the king pins. I used a 3 foot 3/4 drive breaker bar with a large peice of hex stock material in a socket. They would not budge. I had to add a 5 foot peice of steel pipe for an extra 3 feet of leverage and when they finally came loose it sounded like a gun shot going off. I would say they were close to the 600 ft pounds I have read they were origonally torqued to.you said "Rebuilt the kingpins with all new pins, seals and bearings"
looking to do this have the death wobble at highway speed hit a bump
heard there has a spring that you can add fender washers to to gain the tension back? what was the part number/brand if you can recall to do the rebuild and did it have a spring? thanks
A search brought up several threads like this oneI have a 10,000 pound HF winch that I would like to mount to a steel frame that could pin to the tow hook brackets, So the winch could be moved from front to back.
Has anyone fooled with making such a bracket so I am not re-inventing the wheel here?
