equalizer is the way to go
all it takes is the qualizer and 3 cables to the battery box
the vanner 50amp ones are available on ebay for ~$100 on ocassion, and they fit behind the passenger seat right over the grommets that the cables for the jumper cables go through.
(edit - oops...
could progressives policy may vary by state? I called progressive directly and they had no problem insuring it.

glad i read this thread, looks like its time to shop around again.
if using a light - then use a color of light that is not a common color - something like a bright yellow.
when you have red dash lights and another re dlight comes on it can easily be overlooked. but when a NEW color pops on it gets attention.
most likely you will want something to regulate the flow of power (like a charge controller) so that you don't cook off your batteries.
if you have trouble finding a properly sized battery charger then you can use a 24vdc power supply and then run it through a solar charge controller before...
do NOT spray water into the intake, if it stops the engine it will stop it permanently. water doesn't compress and you risk major damage.
either block the air flow with something solid or spray CO2 into the intake. if it is going slowly and you have time you can try pulling off the charge pipe...
if someone is really worried they can plumb a line into the intake from a paintball CO2 cannister with either a manual valve or a 24v solenoid valve like the one used on the horn (a spare horn valve may work, otherwise a nitrous solenoid will definately work) if it starts runnign away you can...

plasma cut a few square holes in the frame and used carriage bolts to mount a free class4 hitch with a 10" drop stinger.
now i just have to wire up a 24v to 12v relay box for the trailer wiring.
exactly - all we really need is to know the bore and stroke of the single master cylinder. then we can properly size a dual chamber master cylinder and fab up a simple mounting adapter. then add a second air-pack and run the brake lines. done.
if you really want to find out how strong your valves currently are you'll have to take them out and test, or remove the exhaust manifold, make a flat plate to cover a single exhaust port and pressurize till it opens the valve.
i doubt there are any hard numbers already available for this.
