    Well I put a nice stereo system in the bad boy, amps, inverter(s), cigerette lighter for the cell phone and Nav., put some decent carpet form home depot down in the bed, another 110v inverter for some BS stuff, got a ladder of another MV (don't know what it was off of) and mounted it to the tail...

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    I wonder what the reliability would be with a turbo on a cummings 250? I'm gonna go through the thread again to understand the set up more. Basically its mounting the new exhaust manifold and turbo, getting oil to the turbo unit, plumbing the exhaust and the intake right? sounds easy but I'm...

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    Man I so want a turbo, I go up and down the cajon pass once a week with my m818 converted to m813, man with the 53 Michelins it barely gets up the hill in forth gear @ 37mph according to my gps. I wonder if you could do a complete engine swap with the M931A2 250hp motor? I'm tempted to try...

    Pyle 24V to 12V converter

    the stereo has a 4 channel 54 watt, so I'm figuring 216 total watts and gonna put 2 200 watt amps in it. I'm hoping that should do it, I'm hoping worse case 2 of them should do the trick. I've a picture somewhere on here where he had 2 pyle converters hooked up to his amp and his stereo, gotta...
