    M818 24volt to 12volt trailer lights

    Well i am lucky that the tail lights (stop and turn signals) are LED already. But this being a horse trailer i dont know what else the lights are connected to say the lights by the horses witch are not LED or lights in the kitchen or bathroom. So i figure id have fun and make one of these.

    Do you solder the trailer connections on?

    How does one connect wires to the trailer connector? Do you just crimp it or solder it? BTW this is the back side of the male connector

    5 ton winch interchangeable

    In post 17 the picture is of the relief on my m818. Is that the same relief as on a 939 series truck or are there's bigger to clear the hero winch?

    The truck isn't sitting on even ground, that might be why it looks like it's leaning
