    8x8 Deuce

    Thanks for suggestions. Forgot to mention I will have two M35A3 steering axles with steering assists available. Would that change your opinion? A huge pipe dream? :smile: Go to post #1 in this thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/83026-8x8-deuce-off-road-tours-8.htmlThat was a huge...

    8x8 Deuce

    8x8 deuce Hi guys, I need some education here. If I add the second M35A3 steering axle with air assist and the steering system pictured below to M35A3, will I be able to use the original steering box and pump, or will I have to upgrade it, perhaps from 5 ton truck? (I will have extra steering...

    I will start with 2 M35A3s, use the second tandem for front suspension, and probably copy the steering from XM757. It will not cost that much. I am serious with this project, there is simply too much money and fun in this kind of business. If I find a partner with cash, I would like to start...

    The weight is the reason, those trucks would sink. I had 4x4, they sunk too, they were fully loaded. I try to spread the weight over a larger surface.

    Hi Flat Black, there will not be any cab, just a cage similar to those I had on my humvees.

    8x8 Deuce

    Hi Cody, I am trying to make it the lightest possible. Those trucks are heavy, they would sink into soft soil. This would be the vehicle application.

    8x8 deuce Hi Travis, thanks for your post, very helpful. That is what I was thinking- the box between the axles with two drag links. Would you be able to put it together? Peter

    8x8 Deuce

    8x8 Is the hydraulic steering street legal? I am thinking about weight primarily because of off road capabilities. The extra axle would spread the weight of the vehicle over the larger area, so it wouldn't sink easily.

    8x8 Deuce

    8x8 Hi, I have spent some time with this topic too. I had hummer off road tours before, and I have been looking for some ways to build the vehicle, which can handle the stress. Deuce is too heavy for real off road, but making it 8x8 would solve the problem. All 8x8 trucks are too heavy by...

    8x8 Deuce

    8x8 deuce I was going to contact him. It would be perfect if there are more of 656s available and I can base the operation on them. Every other 8x8 is too heavy. I have to build something by myself.

    8x8 Deuce

    8x8 deuce I know- but they are too heavy for my application. I had off road hummer tours in past, and I am looking for something bigger, but I don't want to get stuck when I get some rain.

    8x8 Deuce

    Hi Jeremy, do you have any news about your 8x8 project? I am looking for ways how to make 8x8 deuce. Hemtt or Tatra would be too heavy for my application. Peter

    8x8 deuce Hi, I have the same goal, have you already started with your project?

    8x8 Deuce

    8x8 Hi, I have the same project plans in my head, want to make 8x8 deuce. If I am not mistaken, on the pics there is a pitman arm attached to two drag links, each steering one axle? And there is only one gear box? Thanks, Peter
