B.M800 I think a 22LR shell would fit the m-1 carbine perfect but something tells me that making it actually work would be highly illegal haha. For a machine gun / cannon i want to build a trailer the jeeps pulled around. maybe with a paintball gun built in. who knows. I dont know about a cockpit machine gun 30 cal style. that would get in the way of driving but i could make it removable like the front seats. Ill think about it.
The cart is actually more comfortable than i thought it was gonna be. the trailer will be for pulling around my brother

I think you misunderstood my statement, I was talking about the real one... unless that an airsoft gun or something? Here in PA, I can build a actual firearm however it must meet certain requirements or it would be illegal.
Putting some sort of cannon/machine gun would be cool. Maybe an elchepo airsoft gun with some cosmetic modifications could work.

Some fresh pics. Its all done now. Works great with the horn button throttle :smile: Iv been sliding the driver seat out and setting it infront of the passenger seat when i drive it. It squeezes right in and holds itself there. its more comfortable to drive than I thought it would be too so thats great

So do the pics not work any more. I was trying to see the finished product because it was so cool when you were building it but the pics aren't showing up for me.
Another classic example of people posting their pics from photobucket and then rearranging their album or deleting it. I will PM the OP

Sorry about that guys. I post the pics to quite a few sites so photobucket is the best option for me. unfortunately if too many people view them I run out of bandwidth and photobucket blocks everything. But it resets every month or so I think so they come back. Anyhow heres the trailer iv been working on. I didnt realize I havnt posted it here at all yet. Its going very slowly as iv been woking on alot of other progets at the same time. Iv been building a penny farthing bicycle from scrath the past month or so

Now that I see the finished jeep that thing is awesome. I figured it would be. Keep on building some awesome stuff.

How did you make the axle for the trailer? Did you use pillow blocks?

sorry again about those pics guys. they should return soon. For the trailer axle i made the suspention the same as the jeep but instead of pillow blocks i just welded the axle right to the suspention arms. and i will use wheels with bearings in them. i did this for several reasons. there wouldnt be much room for pillow blocks and still maintain the ride height that i want. The jeep has a notched frame to allow for the springs. I would have probrobly made it solid with the blocks bolted right to the frame if i went with pillow blocks. Probrobly the main reason though is I would have had to buy the pillow blocks and i already had the bearing wheels laying around. It just seemed like the best solution for the trailer. my only gripe about it is that the wheels are kinda chincy china wheels. but i can always switch them out for better ones when i come across them.
