FMTV HABITAT SUBFRAME Teaser

[@danielf.6059]

I'm digging that! Great design.

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

When I saw what these engineer guys who also own an FMTV was up to, I had to ask "How can I help?" For the community, it's a game changer. Thanks for watching and kindly commenting. Many blessings!

For future reference, I'll save this video. I'm going to need one of those in the future. Maybe 2.

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

Sounds good, my friend. More videos coming soon! Take care.

good afternoon noble friend Dave, very nice to see produce implements for the truck. God bless your life and your work

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

Valter! Great to hear from you my brother. Yes, it was a busy weekend. After the backup camera build, I really had run out of ideas for builds, and I prayed to God to bless me with content. Suddenly, I had enough ideas and content for 7 videos! God is good all of the time, and all of the time, He is good! Glory be Him that blesses all His children.

As you would say, "Righteous!"

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

Indeed! Indeed!

Great information, I wondered how one would stabilize the movement between cab and cargo. Making a passthrough will be possible with this installed.

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

They make an "accordion" type passageway that can flex when the cab and box are in opposite ends of the spectrum of frame twist. Check 'em out!

Hey how are you love your truck 👍 Question do you happen to know how much the old subframe weighed when removed? I’m looking at removing mine and just was curious on how much weight I’ll save buy putting an aluminium frame on

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

It depends on the length of the subframe. I think this one was 14' 4 point... so that is about 900 lbs.. Just for FYI, we tried going with aluminum frames to start with to save the weight, but found that the strength reduction made the frame way to big and costly compared to steel. The weight savings for the strength lost is not worth it. FEA testing proved with our models.

Your build play list is all out of order!

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

That’s why I have it numbered as to what I did in the order that I did it. KZbin certainly won’t put things in order. It just goes by what it thinks you want to see next.
