All 4 Fun 07-05-2002, 07:51 PM Does anybody have any details of the GM axles used in Guardian tanks. I have found a pair for sale for $500AUS and they look super beefy but are 2.7m wide. If anybody knows anthing about these babies I can email you a photo. It appears that both axles are already setup for steering application. Is it possible to post a jpeg to the board from my hard drive, if so I will post a pic.

Do you mean 105"? :flipoff2: :p All 4 Fun 07-05-2002, 11:35 PM 2.7m wide is 106.2989 inches wide. These are seriously wide! But can you imagine the beef in axles built for a tank with front and rear steer, just a thought at the moment but I am going to have a look at them! BornInAJeep 07-06-2002, 01:21 PM here's the pic, i have no idea what they are twistedmetal 07-06-2002, 01:26 PM The Gaurdian Tank must be more of a wheeled personell carrier? Aren't tanks tracked and use skid-steer, thus no steering axles? They basically sound like 5-tons or something. All 4 Fun 07-07-2002, 02:14 AM I'm not sure if it's a tank or APC but they are real beefy axles. We have a plentifull supply of unimog axles as these are used by our army. I just got a good line on some parts suplus axles going to auction so I am going to go and have a look next week. wngrog 07-07-2002, 07:23 AM The Guardian is a lightly armored vehicle you see around at a lot of crowd control events and on Air Force bases. http://www.lascointl.com/armored_tactical.html http://www.armoredsolutions.com/riotvehicles.htm Some of the old Dodge Ramcharger based light armored vehicles were called Guardians when I was in the Air Force, but I don't remember them having a very HD drivetrain for all the weight they carried.
