Nice, now you just need another one, and you'll have two really huge steerable axles... and LOTS of scrap.

Just kidding.... what's your plans... :confused:

94Dodge Truggy · 02-09-2009, 09:38 AM

I've always wanted one... would be sweet to cruise around town in.

99Slobra · 02-09-2009, 12:27 PM

I want.

mckeddie · 02-09-2009, 06:17 PM

what are you guys paying for these, where from, and how horrible of milage? i'm going ot guess 6-7mph? i've always wanted one to cruise around town in.

a buddy of mine just picked up a 5 ton chasis, he's putting a crew cab chevy body on it, already has a cat diesel from a semi, and tranny put in it, and is putting a flat bed on it to haul his jeep with, all on the 52'' tires (he has 5 tons under his jeep too).

I got mine from http://www.govliquidation.com I paid 2400.00 for it but they very depends on how many people are bidding.

mine run 55 to 60 mph and get about 10 mpg. they'll run on a mixture of diesel and just about anything that will burn. I mix used motor oil and #2 fuel oil.

I've had it at haspin and it did very well..just don't go down any tight trails if you want to keep your mirrors.

You can find about anything you want to know about them here http://www.steelsoldiers.com/forum.php
