Hello
I just finished my M923 Gun Truck and I would like to add some accesories on the back. I found a "Modern Military Equipment Set" from J's Work company. I have one's doubts if all of accesories from this set I can put on my truck. I think about "200l oil drum","chemical plastic drum" and "transit case".
Can somebody help me?
Thank You
Chris from Poland

Hi Chris

Judging by the pics I've seen, I don't believe gun truck crews would carry large fuel or chemical drums with them. I'd rather think they would have extra ammo boxes, 5-gal water cans, cooler(s), MREs, duffel bags, or even folding cots like in this picture :

On a side note, I believe J's Work set is worth the money anyway

The only thing you would see for fuel is a few 5 gallon jerry cans of it. MAYBE 4 at the most. We were required to carry 2, outside of the vehicle. Water juggs would be realistic also, as well as cases of MREs and water. no more than 2 MRE and 4 water though. Ammo Ammo Ammo. We had almost the entire floor of our MRAP stocked with .50 cal or 7.62, and if we had a SAW we had 6 or more cans of 5.56 too. In addition to standard battle loads, there were at least 6 bandoleers of spare magazines too. The cooler is a must have, bigger the better. An AM/FM radio goes along way too. Dont forget rucksacks for however many crew you plan on having in there. The cots are a nice touch, but dont put them anywhere important.

Perhaps you can put some backpacks too, like Legend Productions items. And some rocket launcher AT4.
