A Humvee is not what you seek. With the speeds and weight you want, a civilian truck is what you need. What happened to your 5 ton 6x6 plan from last month?
CWC ,You are awesome! Thanks for taking time to help. Will post pics when complete. May make a die and bend with a press or heat and bend in a jig ,probably play with both methods.
I'm fabbing a luverne style brush guard and was wondering if someone knew dimension A and what the approximate radius of bend B is ? I can't find any info online and don't have access to measure one in person. Thanks for any help .
If I remember correctly it was sailrite.com .
They came plated and shiny,ended up spraying them with self etch primer and then flat black enamel. Still holding up great.
Tracer,Is your comment about the random m35 pics posted by shawnifert or are they about the homemade hmmwv style truck that this thread is actually about? If there meant for me, thanks!
99nouns,If your questions for me (somehow pics and discussion of an m35 have ended up in this thread),my truck is capable of all wheel drive and
I went with straight axles and leaf springs for simplicity also most of the parts were just laying around the shop.
Here's some more pics haven't done much but did add an antenna bracket and a hf 12000lb winch. Still working on a luverne style brush guard. I'm making the whole thing from scratch and was wondering if anyone could tell me about what radius the bends on the corners of a real luverne guard are.
Patracy, I guess my question was really how to overcome the design . It's like it needs more attachment points to the floor and /or the top of the bulkhead.
It seems my question got merged into another thread. Sealing the bulkhead is only part of the solution as the curtain is on the inside of the bulkhead ,the wind and water kind of has a pocket between to run into and then under the bottom of the curtain. Still leaving the question of how to seal...
Thanks for the replies. Weatherstripping under the bulkhead should definitely help. Anybody have any ideas on fastening the bottom of the curtain to the floor . Maybe somehow clamping the steel rod insert down to the floor better?
