Added a Slave port on the front

[TACTICAL6]

I added a slave port to the front of my Sons Deuce today. I haven't wired it yet, but thought I would share pics with you all. It just makes more sense to me to have it somewhere on the front. Easy install, that big hole that is already there is the perfect size. Also added an interior light in the cab. No wiring on that yet either.

Nice, The slave cable I have barely reaches if you have the 2 trucks front bumper to front bumper.

Love the interior light install.

Question: Why are interior light housings always white? Are they from a different application? I would guess so since I have never seen a light in a deuce from the gov.

I've seen slave ports there in the past. I think it's a great location. You could probably get away with just running the cable to the hot lead on the starter.

White dome lights! These are dome lights from armored vehicles, vehicles that without lights on inside are very dark. The interiors are mostly seafoam green as it seems to be the most light reflective color or at least someone from DOD thinks so.

Rick those lights are out of armor, most of which have white interiors. There are two different setups white/blue or white/red light.

Outstanding idea on the slave cable plug location.

I like your slave cable plug install idea because it implies, presumes or signifies the existence of a second military vehicle.....

Me too

I did the same thing on my K5. I modified the ends of a set of cables for civy use. Works very nicely.

Awesome. I might try that. Good pictures, thanks.

 

[Oldgrunt]

Great idea, how about one on the rear as well?

 

[Stonewall]

Where do you get the interior light set up? I really like that idea.

I got the light off of ebay from beltfed34 he has a lot of lights and other interesting things. Thanks for the idea Oldgrunt I might try that.

The first pics I put on were on my Son's truck. Here are a few of the slave receptacle I just added to my truck. Positive lead to the hot side on the starter, grounded to the frame.
