Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
What part can break easily?Well I put a 4000 gallon tank on mine plus a pump and plumbing. So I'm guessing more than 20 tons of weight. And with 16.00 xzl tires. They can break easily. If you put the wrong person. But I know how to drive and I go months without having downtime.

The opposite of what we are looking for here. My friends were all busy when GL load out day came, I was too excited to wait. I was in the middle of building my service body set up for welding. The fender clearance was nearly nothing after I got the truck loaded I would I was sure it was going to ruin the tires by the time I got home. Everything turned out okay though.
Yeah a 21000 lbs truck on a trailer rated to carry 12000 lbs is not a good idea. You should have put the pickup on the trailer and pulled with the 931View attachment 491461

I'm going to have to agree.Yeah a 21000 lbs truck on a trailer rated to carry 12000 lbs is not a good idea. You should have put the pickup on the trailer and pulled with the 931
Roger that I just drive them from the bases now. Also not 6 lug in my experience I haven't come across deck over trailers with 6 lug axles.I'm going to have to agree.
I realize we all do dumb stuff or get away with something unsafe and live.
However posting something like that is supporting the wrong behavior that potentially could get someone killed or the hobby under fire. In the future please refrain from posting successful acts of stupidity.
Hey guys as I give a bit more thought to the above comments. This thread is dedicated to sharing how much we have hauled with a 5 ton. A truck that is rated to GVWR 52,000 lbs. Granted I surpassed my trailers capacity by 7,000 lbs and the truck is not rated to pull the 931. However there are postings that state loads at and in excess of 100,000 lbs. So if we are handing out "Successful acts of stupidity" slaps on the wrist all should receive a rap.I'm going to have to agree.

How about pics of the loading and unloading? I would need ramps 30 ft long to load anything like that in mine!We used the M923A2 last Sat to haul the mud trucks to mud fest. It worked really well for this! The 85 chevy short box just fits in the bed perfectly! With the truck in the back and the loaded trailer the (big) truck only squatted 1" !!! And i think it was all in the tires! haha
And some pictures of the fun!
And i didn't play in the mud with the 6x6... maybe next time!?
That's signature material right there!please refrain from posting successful acts of stupidity.
actually all you would need is a set of ramps to from the front of the trailer to the back of the truck and just drive the mud truck from the trailer in to the bed of the truck. My buddy does the same thing when he loads his atvs on his pickup and small trailer.How about pics of the loading and unloading? I would need ramps 30 ft long to load anything like that in mine!
I made 10' ramps and we can drive the truck right on from the ground! It sounds nuts but works good. when the trailer is on we do load from trailer to truck. Ill post some picks and make a you tube vid the next time we load it.How about pics of the loading and unloading? I would need ramps 30 ft long to load anything like that in mine!
Axles shafts and/or the center sections. Front leaf springs.What part can break easily?
